Yoga to Solve PTSD Issues

War veterans are perhaps the most frequent patients that Walter Reed has and it has offered the Specialized Care Program. One thing you cannot discount among war veterans would be their traumatic experiences in the ongoing war in Iraq and apparently do not be surprised to hear them screaming or even continuing the fight for peace in their dreams.

Yoga has been known to help people relax and apparently much of these war veterans could use it to help fight their traumatic stress experience.

The Specialized Care Program at Walter Reed focuses on helping service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan leave their wartime experiences behind.

Yoga, Carnes said, has become a large part of that effort.

In conjunction with a team of psychologists, a physical therapist, two nurses, a social worker and a general internist, Carnes has worked with hundreds of service members.

The program, which serves as many as 120 service members per year, 90 percent of whom suffer from PTSD, costs about $800,000 annually. That figure covers salaries for the program’s specialists as well as travel and accommodations for the participants, such as Farley, who typically come for a three-week treatment session.
