Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint condition, notably affecting the knee and significantly impacting individuals' quality of life through pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Yoga, as an adjunct therapy, offers a holistic approach to managing knee OA by incorporating gentle stretches, strengthening exercises, and mindfulness techniques to enhance flexibility, strength, balance, and relaxation. This structured yoga module includes warm-up, stretching, strengthening, balance, and cool-down exercises, each tailored to improve joint health and alleviate symptoms. Ayurvedic treatments, such as Janu Basti and herbal remedies, complement yoga by providing deep nourishment, reducing inflammation, and improving joint function. Naturopathic treatments, including dietary changes, herbal supplements, physical therapies, and hot and cold compresses, further support symptom management and overall well-being. The combined approach of yoga, Ayurveda, and naturopathy offers a comprehensive strategy for managing knee osteoarthritis, promoting improved joint health, reduced symptoms, and enhanced quality of life.
