Playing related musculoskeletal disorders are widely documented among instrumental musicians in developed nations. The prevalence ranges from 43% to 50%. Instrumentalists mainly suffer from upper extremity disorders. Among the instrumentalists, one of the risk groups is percussionists.Playing a percussion instrument demands great force and effort, which may make percussionists prone to playing related musculoskeletal disorders . Of all percussion instruments in India,Tabla is the most famous membranophone percussion instrument used in Indian classical music. As playing of the Tabla involves movement of the entire arm (from shoulder joint to fingers) along with folded knees in an unsupported sitting position at a slightly forward-inclined posture, it is expected that they may suffer from various PRMDs. Although not many studies have reported the prevalence of PRMDs in Tabla players, focal dystonia has been reported., The majority of ailments in today’s rapidly evolving society may not be life threatening, but they nonetheless have an impact on daily living and productivity. One of such diseases that causes morbidity and interferes with a Tabla player’s daily routine is PRMD. It is one of the Vatavyadhis that affects various types of sandhis and upper limb subsequently. Yoga poses have been regarded as the most practical, cost-effective, and drug-free way to produce a variety of desired outcomes. Anyone, regardless of age, gender, location, climate, or any other such factor, can practice asanas without causing any unnecessary disruptions in their everyday pattern of life.

Asana is the ability to remain still for an extended period of time in a calm and peaceful condition with little energy expenditure. Modern medical physicians prescribe different types of antiinflammatory analgesics to relieve these pains. Even though initially they give considerable relief but continuous and long-term use may induce various toxic effects including drug dependency. In such a scenario there is a need for the efficient management of PRMD with the proper lifestyle and yoga, thereby eradicating the problems from their root in a natural way. The present study focuses on evaluating the efficacy of Gomukhasan, Ushtrasasna and Dhanurasasna Salbhasana in the management of PRMDs.
