Abstract

The purpose of this study was to look at how yoga poses affect neck discomfort. Yoga enhanced quality of life in terms of health and reduced the severity and impairment of neck pain. Compared to males, women had a greater prevalence of neck discomfort in 2020, with a gender-specific age-standardized prevalence of 2890 (95% uncertainty interval UI 2330–3620) per 100 000 in women and 2000 (1600–2480) per 100 000 in men. Musculoskeletal diseases (MSD) are now the most often diagnosed occupational disease in India, and working with computers is often seen as a new risk factor for these conditions. The risk of developing musculoskeletal diseases is higher among office workers who spend a lot of time in front of computers. Search terms were neck pain, the therapeutic effect of neck pain, neck syndrome, myofascial pain of neck, neck disability, chronic neck pain, Yoga, and Prevalence of neck pain. Hatha Yoga improves strength, range of motion, balance, and agility, reduces pain, enhances flexibility and muscle tones, and releases muscle tension. Almost all studies showed a significant improvement with Yoga on neck pain intensity, neck disability, cervical ROM (range of motion), anxiety, and QOL (quality of life).
