Knee Injury

Deep flexion or rotation at the knee can strain ligaments, meniscus, or cartilage, especially in a compromised joint.

Sit on a folded blanket to reduce the angle of knee flexion; never force the knee into Lotus without full range of motion.

Shoulder Injury

Overhead loading and extreme shoulder rotation can impinge the subacromial space and overload rotator cuff tendons.

Reduce the range of motion, avoid full arm extension, and use props to limit load on the shoulder joint.

Hip Injury

Deep hip flexion, external rotation, or weight-bearing can aggravate labral tears, impingement, or bursitis.

Sit on a folded blanket or bolster to reduce the depth of hip flexion and external rotation.

Wrist Injury / Carpal Tunnel

Weight-bearing or extended wrist positions can compress the median nerve and aggravate inflamed tendons, worsening pain and causing numbness.

No wrist load in this seated posture — practise freely; use a strap if gripping the foot causes discomfort.
