Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Yoga Group Exercise
Yoga group exercise will be taught by a licensed Physical Therapist. Groups consist of 4-8 individuals with 12 sessions once weekly over 12 weeks.
Yoga Group Exercise
Yoga poses and postures modified to diminish stress on the cervical region and improve flexibility. Breathing and mind-body focus to address stress-related discomfort. A general Hatha yoga style will be used with components from Ashtanga Yoga. Intensity and range of motion will be progressively increased as tolerated.
Pilates Group Mat Exercise
Pilates mat exercise will be taught by a licensed Physical Therapist with additional Rehabilitation Pilates certification.
Pilates Group Mat Exercise
The Pilates mat exercises focus on both spinal muscle activation and stability, progressive endurance of the stabilizing muscles with arm and leg challenges and dynamic mobility. The exercises are progressed from more supported to anti-gravity position, slow increases in arm weights and flexibility.
Control
Wait Listed control group. Participants complete the same testing and were offered the option of attending the exercise classes on completion. The controls were not included in the exercise groups after completion.
