Neck Injury / Cervical Issues

Looking up, bearing head weight, or unsupported neck rotation can compress cervical vertebrae and irritate nerves.

Avoid all weight-bearing on the head and neck; practise supported Setu Bandha or legs-up-the-wall instead.

Wrist Injury / Carpal Tunnel

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

Practise a forearm inversion (Pincha Mayurasana) instead, or use a wall-supported headstand to remove wrist load entirely.

High Blood Pressure

Vigorous effort and inverted positions temporarily raise blood pressure in the head, increasing strain on blood vessels.

Avoid this inversion entirely or keep the head above heart level at all times; never hold the breath.
