Spondyloarthritis
The Amsterdam UMC PLOS ONE study.
In plain words.
Spondyloarthritis affects daily life in ways that medicine manages but rarely resolves. People who practice the method with it report what A participant reports below — and this page keeps that report carefully apart from what the studies show.
What the method may offer.
A daily practice that lowers stress arousal, a demonstrated anti-inflammatory signal in controlled settings, and a body that becomes a place of agency rather than only of symptoms. Nothing here replaces treatment.
What the evidence says.
Amsterdam UMC 2019, PLOS ONE — a controlled trial.
Practicing safely with this condition.

Begin gently
Two rounds, seated. Cold at the end of a warm shower for fifteen seconds.
