Cervical Spondylosis/ Spondylitis (Neck Pain)
This is what Mr Sharma said on the first day he met me in 2009.
"Take all my money and all my assets, but get rid of this Neck pain."
Understanding how debilitating neck pain can be in one's life was heartbreaking to see.
Mr Sharma had to move back to India from Australia because of his neck and back pain he was unable to continue his work as an IT-related work, which involved long hours of sitting and working on a computer.
After working there for almost 20 years Mr Sharma was only 45 years old when he decided to move back to India from Canberra, Australia. It was the toughest decision of his life to move back when his life was set and his wife and two young kids were also settled in that lifestyle.
It all started with some discomfort in his neck and shoulders. He saw doctors in Australia who diagnosed it as cervical spondylosis and recommended physiotherapy and medicines. The pain subsided, but it returned after a few weeks. The medicines didn't work this time, so he tried chiropractic therapy and osteopathy. They worked for a while, and the pain would resurface now and then. This went on for two years before it became permanent. Home remedies and daily visits to the physiotherapist also didn’t work and Mr Sharma started taking medical leaves from work.
He took the difficult decision and moved back to India, got his kids admitted to a school in Delhi, and decided to start a business with his savings. The promising life in Australia for him and his kids was left behind because of his neck pain.
His friend recommended him to visit the center and I remember him coming to me on the first day, in severe pain that was not only limited to his neck but also in the middle and lower back. After taking his medical history, looking at his x-ray reports, and making a detailed clinical assessment, I prescribed him a sequence of medically designed and modified therapeutic Medical Yoga exercises.
He started treatment immediately. Every morning, he would be standing outside the center before I could reach him. I noticed an improvement in the range of motion of his neck, and shoulders, in the very first week. In the second week, He said the pain was gone, and he could now drive and spend his day without painkillers. He asked me if he could consider doing some sitting work again in his life, and my quick response was, "Yes, you can start from today, but for two hours. Remember to follow the DS 30-30 principle."
Gradually, it increased to 8 hours of sitting work in the next 15 days. Now, the most awaited question came up. He asked me, 'Can I think of returning to Australia and doing my work again without recurrence of pain?' My answer was, 'Yes, you can.' I still remember the twinkle in his eyes and his tight hug.
I told him I was available for Skype video calls in case you needed my help. Carry these Medical Yoga props with you, do your sequence every day when you are back from work, and follow all the instructions I have given to you.
He did exactly that, and it's no surprise that Mr Sharma is in Australia today (2024), working in a full-day IT job, his daughter is now married. In these years he has conducted Medical Yoga therapy camps in Australia over 15 times.
And yes the offer he gave me on the first day was politely turned down but I did get something more than my professional fee, A good lifelong friend.

- Wrong posture
- Long drives
- Using high/hard pillow while sleeping

- Using computer for over 30 mins at a stretch
- Over use of mobile phones causes a muscular imbalance in the shoulder joint and can lead to cervical spondylitis.

- Cold temperatures
- Hyperacidity directly triggers neck pain
- Stress
