Practicing vitality yoga can easily hurt your knees
"Vitality yoga has many jumping movements, which can easily damage the ankle joint, knee joint and periosteal tissue of beginners." Yesterday, Lu Yi, a senior coach at Beijing Youji Yoga Club, reminded yoga beginners that they must choose teachers carefully to practice vitality yoga. If the teacher does not give proper guidance, they will be injured.
Lu Yi said that vitality yoga itself is a good way of exercise, but if the warm-up is not sufficient before practice, the joints, ligaments and blood circulation are not warmed up, and the teacher's guidance during practice will turn a good thing into a bad thing. She also pointed out that not only energy yoga, but all yoga exercises can cause injuries if they are not used correctly. "I also met some patients in the outpatient clinic who suffered knee injuries, muscle and ligament strains due to yoga. These people were all fashionable young women. The reason why they were injured was that they practiced too quickly. During practice, they pressed and stretched their legs hard, causing injuries to their limbs that originally lacked resilience." Yesterday, Professor Tian Dexiang from the Institute of Sports Medicine of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University reminded white-collar women that practicing yoga is not a competition. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and must do what you can according to your own conditions.
Lu Yi analyzed that beginners who usually exercise little and have poor physical fitness are the most vulnerable to injuries. However, the reason for their injuries is often due to the teacher's improper teaching methods, rather than the injuries caused by the students themselves. "Beginners 'bones are relatively stiff. If they are eager to do difficult stretching, twisting and other movements without fully warming up, the teacher does not consider the flexibility of the student's body when correcting the student's movements. Simply pulling and pulling hard will cause the" bow "somewhere to break.
"In fact, for every practitioner, as long as he moves to his maximum extent, no matter whether his limbs can bend to 30 degrees or 90 degrees, the result is the same. It can relax the body and mind, regulate breathing, and circulate. The role of other systems." Lu Yi said that if a novice practitioner only suffers from muscle soreness and is not injured, it is just muscle fatigue that can be relieved by itself; if a certain part is very painful, there is a feeling of acupuncture, soft tissue swelling, local numbness and other symptoms, it means that he has indeed been injured. Stop practicing at this time and seek medical advice as soon as possible.
She reminded women who are preparing to practice yoga to tell the teacher their medical history before practicing, and to inform the teacher of any physical discomfort. Otherwise, the teacher will not understand the student's physical condition and will be ignored and injured when guiding the practice. When practicing yourself, you must follow the principle of step-by-step and do not forcibly stretch or twist your body. (Internship Editor: Li Jianhong)
