A 1.5-month yoga-based routine; yogasana and shakti-vikasak kriya deliver rapid, clinically significant knee-pain relief in middle-aged women.

According to the findings of a recent study, targeted yogic interventions—yogasana and shakti-vikasak kriya—can substantially minimize knee pain while boosting joint function and flexibility.

Knee pain continues to affect millions of middle-aged women, often driven by osteoarthritis and long-standing joint stress. It impairs mobility, limits daily activity, and diminishes quality of life, making effective and accessible non-pharmacological therapies essential. Yoga-based interventions, including yogasana and shakti-vikasak kriya, are increasingly recognized for promoting joint stability, strengthening muscles, and reducing chronic discomfort.

Against this need, the study aimed to evaluate whether daily yogasana and shakti-vikasak kriya could meaningfully lower knee pain among women with persistent symptoms. The researchers enrolled 50 women from communities and hospitals in Ahmedabad who had experienced knee pain for ≥6 months. Key steps included:

  • Baseline Assessment: Pain severity measured using the visual analog scale (VAS)
  • Intervention Duration: 1.5 months
  • Daily Protocol: Yogasana, Shakti-vikasak kriya
  • Post-Intervention: VAS reassessed
  • Analysis: Paired t-tests used to determine effectiveness

The study design ensured a controlled, consistent, and trackable evaluation of yoga’s impact on chronic knee pain. The intervention produced a significant drop in knee pain (Table 1):

These findings demonstrate that daily practice of yogasana and shakti-vikasak kriya nearly halved knee pain, showcasing a powerful therapeutic effect and enhanced functional comfort. By increasing flexibility, strengthening muscles, and improving blood circulation, these practices successfully reduced stiffness and chronic discomfort. Overall, the results highlight these yogic routines as safe, effective, and highly accessible strategies for long-term knee pain management.
