| Abstract: | Reviews research on the psychosomatic aspect of back pain from psychoanalytic and stress perspectives and discusses the compatibility of yoga techniques with varied approaches to treating back pain. These include respiration, self-awareness, behavioral approaches, other psychological factors such as reframing, and a systems approach. Methods to increase compliance are described. Yoga's influence on musculoskeletal, somatic, psychological, social and family, and transpersonal systems is discussed.
