"Yoga disease" pesters weight loss group
"Among the 15 people I participated in this yoga class, 6 were strained or sprained. I am also one of the victims. I suggest you not blindly report to the yoga class in the club..." Recently, in a community forum in Hongkou, a post posted by a netizen with the online name "Red Rabbit Feixia" aroused a lot of resonance, and all the followers discussed "yoga disease" together. The reporter learned from the Sports Medicine Department of Huashan Hospital and the Orthopedic Department of Changzheng Hospital that recently common "yoga disorders" such as ligament strain, cartilage tear, joint inflammation, and neuralgia are quite common in outpatient clinics.
It is understood that the 53-kilogram "Red Rabbit Feixia" hopes to quickly lose weight to 48 kilograms. Hearing from a friend that practicing yoga is effective, he couldn't wait to sign up at the community club. In the learning process, in order to achieve the level required by the teacher, the teacher helped him pull down his legs and twist his waist. As a result, his body became so painful that it was difficult to move after just three classes. Especially when doing a movement of supporting your legs with both arms, I accidentally fell on the mat and sprained my arm. Several other students also suffered varying degrees of injuries due to excessive force or improper practice.
In the sports medicine clinic of Huashan Hospital, situations like "Red Rabbit Flying Xia" are not uncommon. Professor Chen Shiyi, director of the department, admitted that recently many women have suddenly signed up to participate in various dance or yoga classes in order to lose weight. However, if you force yourself too hard when doing the movements, you can easily hurt your back, waist, neck, etc. He even received a yoga instructor who strained his cartilage because he had to do an extreme movement of crossing lotus legs behind his back and grabbing his toes. He had no choice but to stop exercising and apply a blocking needle.
Yoga is not the best way to lose weight
Teacher Gao, who has been a yoga instructor for more than 10 years, told reporters that when many people choose to practice yoga, their first consideration is that practicing yoga can lose weight. The mentality of most yoga practitioners is eager for quick success, which runs counter to the ancient yoga exercise, because yoga has always opposed the anxious mentality of being eager for success. Generally, it is more suitable for beginners to practice three times a week, and only after insisting on exercising for three months can you feel the effect.
Professor Chen Shiyi told reporters that some "three-legged" coaches have misguided and expanded publicity. Yoga does bring mood and physical benefits to practitioners, but it is not the best way to lose weight quickly. The most effective way to lose weight still requires scientific control of diet and effective exercise.
Stop practicing when you have abnormal pain
Once the practitioner feels abnormal pain in a certain part of the body, he or she should stop practicing immediately. Within 24 hours, he or she can apply cold compress with ice to prevent bleeding from capillaries in the spine and other places; after 24 hours, he or she should apply hot compress to promote blood circulation and eliminate stasis. At this time, rub the sore area. If you feel that the injury is serious, don't go to a masseur to massage at will. If you use improper force, iatrogenic dislocation injury may be caused.
