Yami Gautam shares her journey of recovering from neck injury

The Vicky Donor fame actor Yami Gautam took to her social media handle and recalled how she recovered from a serious neck injury. The 31-year-old star shared that she self-tutored her body to heal itself inside out.

Mumbai: Actor Yami Gautam has tried to give proper time to her fitness and well being during the lockdown.

On Sunday, Yami took to Instagram and shared how she dealt with the serious neck injury.

"This post is very personal... Having suffered a serious neck injury, I have always had to be extra cautious -- especially owing to the fact -- the amount of physical exertion due to dance, workout, non-stop travel, physical activity, action, painful footwear, etc., and this list is endless, resonates with being an actor... somehow it's always been about never expressing the pain beneath the surface and rather conditioning your own self to bear it and like it's said, the show must go on," she wrote.

  This post is very personal... Having suffered a serious neck injury, Iv always had to be extra cautious - esp owing to the fact the amount of physical exertion due to dance , workout, non stop travel, physical activity, action, painful footwear etc etc & this list is endless, resonates with being an actor... somehow it’s always been about never expressing the pain beneath the surface & rather conditioning your ownself to bear it & like its said,,,the show must go on... But this lockdown, I got to explore something which I couldn’t before ! Everytime I would try practising Yoga, I would be left more in pain owing to my condition, hence my experience never encouraged me to continue.. but this time I self-tutored my way through & allowed my body to heal itself inside out and it has worked like never before ! This lockdown was not about ‘looking fit’ or ‘ workout of the day’ ... it was the time where I listened & just went with the flow ! I am no expert (which you shall clearly see in the images😋) ! I took my first baby step towards this journey, which shall not stop ... A special thanks to @sarvesh_shashi & @smeghe for being instrumental in this soulful endeavour.. I am sure you can’t wait to meet & make those necessary corrections which you shall be tempted to make as soon as you see them 😋☺️
