In this case, the "people" are the players. As an avid fan of the San Diego Chargers since I was 18, I witnessed the destruction of the human body for years in pro soccer. Now as a yoga therapist, I see how the techniques can be used to recover and restructure ailing physical body can actually improve game performance of these athletes.
We hear that every season, many players are put on injured reserve or are otherwise can not play all the games. In the 2011 NFL preseason, San Diego Chargers, Antonio Gates, placed on the physically unable to perform list (PUP list) due to plantar (although it was recently removed from it). This could have totally been prevented, and the proper therapeutic approach to yoga to keep it in play more than 60 percent of their games, which is enough time to win us the edge.
Here in this article you will find three simple yoga poses therapies that can improve the three-point stance. Yoga therapy can also be a preventative measure for injury in any sport that involves the feet, legs and torso.
The first tip is stretching the lower legs and feet in the morning before you get out of bed.

It is very easy to do just pull your toes toward your nose and hold for ten seconds and then push your fingers away from you and hold for ten seconds. Repeat this action ten times. Voila, healthy feet!
Second, you want to have a loose hip flexor of the hip across the front of the hips Navasana (boat pose) is really good at it strong, because it requires that the muscle contracts isometrically. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out straight in front of you. Other arms of your hand. Exhale, lean back slightly and lift your feet off the floor about 60 degrees. Ideally, your feet should be higher than your head. Your weight should be home only to butt. Not on any part of your spine to use your hands as needed to support until you have enough strength to hold the feet of hands-free
Finally, Garland Pose (Malasaña) Squat with your feet as close together as possible. (Use a mat for support, if necessary). Exhaling, lean your torso in the middle of your foot and fit snugly between the thighs. Press your elbows inward knees, bring your palms together
This represents an improvement in the three-point stance and help you beat the defender with the ball. In fact, Yoga Therapy for players can be easily and used in the prevention of injuries. When yoga is used at intervals to the muscles and the body limber and fluid, players will be much more agile, faster and more flexible, keeping them in the game longer and making them faster. This is a great thing for my charger-my team of choice.
