Body Systems
This system transports oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body.
Cardiovascular system
This system includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
Nervous system
This contraction occurs when a muscle maintains length but produces force.
Isometric contraction
This spinal condition involves a lateral curvature.
Scoliosis
This term refers to pain rooted in spiritual causes.
Adhyatmik (spiritual pain)
This system is responsible for muscle movement and force generation.
Muscular system
This part of the nervous system is responsible for involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion.
Autonomic nervous system
This contraction happens when a muscle shortens during movement, such as lifting a weight.
Concentric contraction
This spinal condition involves an exaggerated lumbar curve.
Lordosis
This philosophy emphasizes selfless service as a path to spiritual growth.
Karma yoga
This system includes bones, cartilage, and joints.
Skeletal system
This division of the autonomic nervous system activates the fight-or-flight response
Sympathetic nervous system
This contraction happens when a muscle lengthens under tension, such as lowering a weight.
Eccentric contraction
This condition occurs when an intervertebral disc bulges out of place but doesn’t rupture.
Bulging disc
This response promotes calmness and recovery after stress.
Relaxation response
This system helps the body fight infections and drain fluids.
Lymphatic system
This division of the autonomic nervous system calms the body and promotes rest
Parasympathetic nervous system
This structure detects changes in muscle tension and prevents overstretching.
Golgi tendon
This is a type of inflammation affecting the fluid-filled sacs in joints.
Bursitis
This technique alternates contraction and relaxation to improve flexibility.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
This system controls involuntary actions like heartbeat and digestion through hormones.
Endocrine system
This part of the nervous system connects the central nervous system to the rest of the body.
Peripheral nervous system
This dome-shaped muscle is the primary driver of breathing.
Diaphragm
This condition refers to pain caused by compression of the sciatic nerve.
Sciatica
This practice involves calming the mind, body, and nervous system through conscious breathing and movement.
