Yoga and back pain?

Linus · 02-20-2011, 02:49 PM

I've had, throughout my life, back pain of one sort or another. A lot of it is due to stress and/or being over weight. Usually I've been able to keep it under control through therapeutic massage and exercise but last night I must have pulled something back since I can barely walk. I'm trying to get an appointment with a chiropractor for tomorrow but I'm contemplating starting yoga as a way to strengthen my core muscles (i.e. Abs and lower back) as a more effective and proactive way of addressing this.

Has anyone else done this and found it helped? Or did it worsen it?
