Why introduce Yoga for dental
students and professionals?
?Bhavanani AB. SMVMCH. 16.12.2016
![Page 6: Yoga for dental professionals2017 igids](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070518/58ea2edf1a28ab61358b491d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Dental professionals face unique physical, mental, and emotional challenges every day.
• These can create discord and imbalance, especially when they're combined.
• Contortion of their bodies to gain better visibility, sitting for long periods, as well as hunching over computer keyboards put enormous strain on the musculoskeletal system.
• Dealing with fearful patients, uncooperative team members, and job related frustrations can become overwhelming.
• Results in stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. Bhavanani AB. IGIDS. 4.4.2017
![Page 7: Yoga for dental professionals2017 igids](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070518/58ea2edf1a28ab61358b491d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Prevalence of general musculoskeletal pain is estimated to be between 64% and 93%
• Major issues :– back pain (36.3-60.1%) and – neck pain (19.8-85%).
• Risk factors identified for these occupational predispositions include the static and awkward posture of clinical practice as well as other non-ergonomic work practices.
• Physical, mental and emotional stress precipitate or aggravate such factors!
Bhavanani AB. IGIDS. 4.4.2017
![Page 8: Yoga for dental professionals2017 igids](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070518/58ea2edf1a28ab61358b491d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• It has been recently (2015) suggested that Yoga may be a good way for dentists to relieve stress and reduce the risk for repetitive strain injury and dysfunctional posture.
• Another survey(2015) amongst 220 dentists found statistically significant difference in prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among those practicing Yoga compared to those with no regular activity over a period of 12 months.
Bhavanani AB. IGIDS. 4.4.2017
![Page 9: Yoga for dental professionals2017 igids](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070518/58ea2edf1a28ab61358b491d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• However, ignorance and resistance to Yoga still persists amongst health professionals.
• A recent cross–sectional survey in Chennai (2015) reported that despite musculoskeletal pain and stress being the most common occupational hazard prevalent among dentists, over 50% of the 390 respondents surveyed didn't seek any measure to treat these occupational hazards.
• Only 10% of them practiced Yoga as the alternative therapy.

Restoring Human Values: Role of Yoga• Recent developments showcased through social media
highlight a lack of human values in modern health professionals.
• Compassion, empathy and a sincere desire to relieve suffering are found lacking and this seemingly becomes even rarer as qualifications increase.
• Kidney rackets, unnecessary surgeries, lab commissions & inflated bills commonly bemoaned.
• Recently medical students in Chennai were found throwing a poor dog off their rooftop in glee.
• Monkey tortured and killed at CMC, Vellore

Why yoga? • Yoga, an ancient cultural heritage of India is spreading
rapidly; practiced by millions globally.• Offers a broader perspective of life and refines all round
personality (purna purusha)• Enables the attainment of inherent potential of each
individual in a holistic manner. • Yoga is not just a system of exercise but is a way of life, an
attitude and a conscious lifestyle. • A Yogi is just a good human being.
• Shouldn’t our doctors be good human beings?

Why yoga? .................. Contd
• Stresses importance of social and personal values– Yama (restraints of subhuman tendencies such as
violence, stealing and greed etc), and – Niyama (humane observances: cleanliness,
contentment, self-introspection & discipline). • Inculcation of these universal values in dental
students and professionals enables them to be more humane in their life and profession.
• Provides a contextual purpose for life and service.

Yoga places great importance on a proper and healthy lifestyle whose main components are:
ACHAR – healthy physical activities & exercise VICHAR – right thoughts and right attitude towards
life that are vital for wellbeing. AHAR – healthy, nourishing diet with adequate intake
of fresh water; balanced intake of fresh food, green salads, sprouts, unrefined cereals & fresh fruits. Satwic diet, prepared & served with love & affection.
VIHAR – proper recreational activities to relax body and mind are essential for good health.

Suggested mechanisms• Psycho-physical techniques of Yoga such as asana,
pranayama, mudra, dharana and dhyana enable attainment of physical, mental and emotional fitness.
• Skilful & efficient management of stressors through induction of relaxation response.
• A broader worldview enables doctors to fulfil their responsibility (dharma) in the spirit of nishkama karma (non-attachment to results of one’s actions).
• This prevents unhealthy “Me first”, “Make the most money”, “Who cares as long as I am safe” type of attitudes from developing in dental professionals.

Stress management through Yoga
• Dr W Selvamurthy gave a beautiful message at SBV recently. He said:
Yoga enables and empowers individuals to
– Modify their perceptions of the stressors,– Optimise their responses to them, and– Efficiently release the pent up stresses.
• We can think of it as a 3-in-1 action!!
