If you’ve ever experienced back problems then you know just how much they can get in the way of living your day-to-day life. A few winters ago, I injured my back while I was shoveling the snow and getting through each day was a struggle. Getting out of bed, climbing up the stairs, bending over to pick up something, even sitting in a car… these things became excruciatingly painful.
I visited my doctor hoping to get some kind of miracle cure but I wasn’t so lucky. She told me that I could take some painkillers and I would recover within a couple of weeks. “Ugh… two weeks!?” I thought. I wasn’t happy at the time but I really should have been because there are people who suffer from chronic back problems that persist for months or even years!
85-year-old Anna Pesce is one of these unfortunate individuals who suffered from chronic back pains. For decades, has had to endure the severe pain caused by a multitude of back problems, including scoliosis, a herniated disc, and osteoporosis. She visited numerous doctors, chiropractors, back specialists, and acupuncturists but none of them were able to improve her situation. Things were looking hopeless for Anna, but one day she decided to give yoga a try.
As you might imagine, yoga was initially very difficult and painful for Anna but she refused to give up. Over time, Anna got better and better at yoga, and her body became much stronger. As she became more in tune with the various poses, she learned to use them to directly attack her back pains. Incredibly, within only two months, Anna had undergone a drastic transformation.
