Sensorimotor Exercises and Neurodevelopmental Yoga in Chronic Neck Pain

The sensorimotor group was given oculomotor, gaze stability and postural stability exercises. Each session lasted 40 minutes in total.

A flow was created for the yoga group. Each session lasting 40 minutes was included ocular motor, balance, meditation and stretching. Practices illustrated in table one were repeated for the eight weeks. Beginning of each session was focused on breathing exercises and the yoga flow is designed. Weeks 1-2. were prepared by focusing mostly on sagittal plane asanas. While 3-5. tweeks were focused on frontal plane asanas, 6-8. weeks were focused on transvers plan. Each session commenced with a 5-minute practice of a three dimensional breathing technique. This was followed by a 25-minute yoga asana flow, concluding with a 10-minute meditation in shavasana, also known as Corpse Pose. NDY was taught by an academician physiotherapist who has completed graduation in yoga therapy.
