There are many yoga trainers who claim to treat joint pain or muscle pain with the help of yogic exercises while on the other hand there are many physiotherapist who claim to treat every problem with the help of physiotherapy. First of all we will have to understand the definition of true professional, a true professional is that who knows about his strength as well as limitation of his field/ area as well as refer the client or patients to that person who is more expertise in particular field intead of taking or deal with all kinds of patients only for the shake of money or fame. Now come to the point, if someone is already healthy or fit enough for his work he need yoga to maintain this as one of the part of his exercises program but if he feel any kind of discomfort or pain during any activities or performance he must go to a qualified physiotherapist as physiotherapy involve many manual technique which can't be done by a yoga therapist at all such as osteopathy, mulligan technique, chiropractice, glides, joint mobilisation etc similarly a yoga therapist can train a person well in cardiorespiratory fitness better than a physiotherapist.
