Abstract

As the prevalence and incidence of rheumatoid arthritis continues to rise, and current pharmaceutical interventions offered have been shown to elicit negative side effects, there has been a recent shift in the use of supportive and therapeutic medical modalities. In particular, functional treatments, like yoga therapy show great promise as a complement to traditional medicine. In this review, we provide a brief overview of yoga therapy, present the latest findings between the relationship of yoga therapy and Rheumatoid Arthritis, and discuss the future direction of this promising field.
