Yoga for Back Pain Relief app review: heal your back

Introduction

If you’re anything like me and spend hours each day sitting at a desk then you’ll almost definitely want to check out Yoga for Back Pain Relief for iPhone and iPad, which provides some great computer animation demonstrations of useful Yoga poses or asanas to help bulletproof your back.

This is a great idea and although the amount of content is a little limited as you’ll see below, I think the developer has done a great job of providing a targeted and somewhat unique approach to Yoga that you guys can do from the comfort of your home or perhaps even office.

What we have here is a Yoga-orientated app that has been designed to provide you guys with relief from back pain brought about by a stressful, sedentary, or otherwise less-than-ideal lifestyle.

The Yoga routines or programs included in this app are as follows:

• Breathing
• Fitness
• Yoga for Asthma
• Yoga for Migraines
• Yoga for Insomnia
• Yoga for Back Pain
• Weight Loss Yoga
• Office Yoga

So as you can see there are routines covering general breathing practices, relaxation, and more specifically targeted methods for weight loss and so on.

 

Poses Are Somewhat Limited

One complaint that Yoga for Back Pain Relief has received from users on the iTunes description page, and one that I would tend to agree with, is that while the content is great it is a little limited.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Enjoy a targeted approach to Yoga
• Includes a variety of poses or asanas for you to work through
• The poses are split up into various difficulty levels
• Choose from different Yoga routines based on your needs
• Routines are targeted for back pain, weight loss, and other purposes
• View computer animation demonstrations of Yoga poses so you know exactly what to do

Cons                        

• This app has received some great feedback, although one user does make a good point about the limited amount of content: “I love everything about this app...except how limited it is."
  
  Let’s hope the developer will take heed of this and work on more content for future updates!

 

Final Words

Yoga for Back Pain Relief for iPhone and iPad definitely needs more content before it could become a top contender in the Health & Fitness category of the App Store but I would still recommend taking it for a spin in its current form.
