What is Capsuloligamentous? Why it is important in yoga?
Capsuloligamentous refers to the ligaments and joint capsule that surround and support a joint. These structures are important in maintaining joint stability, controlling joint movement, and preventing excessive or abnormal movement that can lead to injury.
In yoga practice, capsuloligamentous structures are important in supporting joint stability and mobility, particularly in poses that involve weight-bearing on the hands and feet, such as downward-facing dog, plank, and handstand. Maintaining proper alignment and engagement of the capsuloligamentous structures can help optimize joint stability and mobility, reducing the risk of injury.
However, it is important to approach yoga practice with awareness and caution, as overstretching or compressing the capsuloligamentous structures can lead to joint instability, hypermobility, and injury. Working with a qualified yoga instructor who can provide guidance and modifications for your individual needs and limitations is important to ensure safe and effective practice.
