Shoulder Injury

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

Avoid weight-bearing inversions entirely; practise supported Setu Bandha or Viparita Karani as an alternative.

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.

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.

Hamstring Injury

Aggressive stretching of a torn or strained hamstring can reinjure muscle fibres — the attachment near the sitting bone is especially vulnerable.

Bend the knees generously, work within a pain-free range, and avoid any aggressive pulling on the hamstrings.
