First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether Downward-Facing Dog yoga can reduce pain and improve posture in children aged 8 to 14 with non-specific low back pain. The approach is a fun, non-invasive alternative to traditional physiotherapy. Researchers will measure posture using a plumb line and track pain levels over time.
