title: Yoga and other meditative movement therapies to reduce chronic pain.
abstract: In adults with chronic pain, do yoga and other meditative movement therapies to improvement in chronic pain symptoms?
  
  
  
  Yes. However, in each of the studies reviewed, yoga classes were included as part of the pain management regime, sometimes alone and sometimes in tandem with DVDs or audiotapes. We feel that no exercise therapy program should be undertaken without professional coaching from certified, registered and qualified instructors.
