Hatha is a form of yoga that involves meditation techniques to achieve physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual awakening. It is a traditional system of physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation techniques that emphasizes the harmonious integration of body, mind, and spirit through disciplined practice and self-awareness.

After an injury or surgery, a patient’s quality of life often isn’t what it once was. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that with the right exercises and support, a patient can’t return to the activities that they enjoy the most. This is where physical therapy can play a significant role.

Approximately 40% of people in the U.S. will experience sciatic nerve pain during their lifetime. Symptoms range from mild discomfort to intense and debilitating chronic pain that can radiate down the leg from the lower back into the foot. Sciatica symptoms can interfere with routine tasks and make sitting, standing, bending, and walking difficult. Luckily, many patients are able to find relief with exercise, stretching, and physical therapy.
