\n\t\t\tDru Yoga helps Liverpool soccer players reduce injuries\t<\/h3>\n\t

Dru Yoga is supported by scientific research demonstrating its amazing benefits.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tREAD MORE ABOUT THE RESEARCH\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

In an article published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Dru Yoga is quoted as being part of a successful 7 point plan, used by physiotherapists on Liverpool Football (soccer) Club’s players to reduce hamstring injuries.<\/p>\n

Recurrent hamstring injuries are a major problem in sports such as soccer. The research followed a professional soccer player who had sustained five hamstring injuries. Liverpool’s doctors and physiotherapists successfully used a seven point programme which included Dru Yoga. The player started regular sessions of yoga-based stretching and relaxation with a qualified Dru yoga instructor. These consisted of Dru fascial warm-up techniques; intense hamstring and low back stretches; guided Dru relaxations and Dru breath training (techniques to improve lung capacity, stamina and to activate the relaxation response through the body). Sessions were undertaken for 60 min twice per week. The player soon reported subjective improvement in his hamstring freedom.<\/p>\n
