Heart Disease (Artery blockage)

Mrs. Desai is an 80-year-old woman who was recently diagnosed with a 90% blockage in two of her cardiac arteries. She was referred to a cardiologist and began taking medication to manage her condition, but was interested in exploring complementary therapies to support her healing.

Mrs. Desais daughter suggested that she try yoga therapy, and she agreed to give it a try. She began attending thrice weekly yoga therapy sessions with me.

During the sessions, Mrs. Desai learned various yoga poses and breathing techniques that were tailored to her needs and abilities. We also provided her with guidance on how to incorporate these practices into her daily routine at home.

Over time, she noticed that she had more energy and felt more relaxed and balanced. She also reported a decrease in her symptoms, such as shortness of breath and chest discomfort.

Mrs. Desai continued to work with her cardiologist and take her medications as prescribed, but she found that the yoga therapy was an effective complementary treatment that supported her overall well-being. She has been following this routine for the last 5 years.

Yoga therapy can be a helpful complementary treatment for an elderly patient with heart blockage. It is important to note that every individual is different, and the effectiveness of yoga therapy may vary. It is always important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional when considering any treatment option.
