Rope & Belt Therapy was pioneered by Yogachary BKS Iyengar since late 80s and was further developed by his ardent disciple Dr. Shrikant Karandikar in 1995. His innovation in using ropes & belts in connection with certain yogic postures were proven helpful significantly during early stages of osteoarthritis of knee joint, lumbar spondylosis and cervical spondylosis and hence he prescribed them for his patients
RBT is gaining popularity because of its medical roots (designed by doctors and yoga therapists together) and therapists undergo a rigorous training on the yogic anatomy of the joints and pain management.
It works on foundationally on principles of corrective postures enabled passively which help body in aligning its movements optimally helping us slown down the degeneration of certain joits like knee or for that matter spinal joints.
From onset of degenerative disease till surgery becoming redundant or inevitable , there is a 5-7 years of time gap . RBT provides an excellent framework for managing the degenerative diseases conservatively and help patients make a more informed choice , more better prepared choice for the surgery , either way.
Synergy Medical Yoga is a pioneer in creatign set of specific targeted products for pain relief products which are based on the principles of Rope & Belt Therapy.
RBT is NOT an alternate to orthopaedic procedures or consultations. RBT helps patients in early stages of pain in getting relief and improve quality of life. In fact, an RBT consultant works closely with yoga physicians / doctors to decide the best course of action for the person in pain.
What matters most is getting the person in pain some relief. If combining ancient wisdom with modern medicine helps in reducing people’s pain in any walk of life, it is the right thing to do. After all things evolve only when they integrate additional dimensions of thinking.
