For those with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, flexibility is difficult to maintain. Yoga offers an alternative from traditional stretching routines to alleviate some tension. Scott Brown describes this and how it has also helped his breathing and circulation.
** CureDuchenne and Duchenne Therapy Network advise all to seek medical advice prior to initiating any yoga or alternative means for health and fitness. Yoga poses can be very beneficial in many ways although with Duchenne, only poses to enhance flexibility, breath and circulation should be used. Strength poses should never be used.
