The 42-year-old Minnesotan credits yoga for relieving the damage inflicted on his body and mind after a serious car crash in 1978. The crash severed his spinal cord when he was just 13 and took the lives of his father and older sister. According to Sanford, the resulting physical and mental trauma was locked inside his body for years, an internal wound that refused to heal. For 12 years, doctors convinced him to write off his paralyzed lower body as a lost cause and focus only on strengthening his upper body. By following that advice, he effectively disconnected himself from his body and lost his sense of being complete. As a gangly teenager, Sanford said the intensive weightlifting regimen prescribed by the people treating him did not jibe with his athletic interests or dissipate his trauma.

Also known as The Bends and Caisson Disease, Decompression Sickness is an illness that can affect divers or other people (such as miners) who are in a situation that involves pressure rapidly decreasing around the body.
DCS, as it is commonly know, is caused by a build up of nitrogen bubbles in the body. When we breathe, approximately 79 of the air we're breathing is nitrogen. As we descend in water, the pressure around our bodies increases, causing nitrogen to be absorbed into our body tissues. This is not actually harmful and it's quite possible for the body to continue to absorb nitrogen until it reaches a point called saturation, which is the point at which the pressure in the tissues equals the surrounding pressure.
The problem arises when this pressure needs to be released. If a diver ascends too fast and the nitrogen escapes the body tissue too quickly it becomes bubbles in the body and this leads to Decompression Sickness. Type I Decompression Sickness Symptoms. Decompression sickness. Since bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body, DCS can produce many symptoms, and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death.
Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day, and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all. The classification of types of DCS by its symptoms has evolved since its original description over a hundred years ago. Although DCS is not a common event, its potential severity is such that much research has gone into preventing it, and underwater divers use dive tables or dive computers to set limits on their exposure to pressure and their ascent speed.
Treatment is by hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a recompression chamber. If treated early, there is a significantly higher chance of successful recovery.
