Learn OL yoga and fitness to protect the cervical spine

According to Zhan Qiang, an expert from Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, fatigue caused by long-term focusing of the eyes causes the nerves to miscontrol the muscle movements in the neck and shoulders, causing increased muscle tension, which cannot be relieved for a long time, and chronic pain will occur in the corresponding parts.

What methods can be used to protect the cervical spine?

The reporter specially asked Yao Lan, Dean of Zuma Yoga in Hong Kong, for you. Dean Yao recommended ecological yoga to protect the cervical spine.

She told reporters: Ecological yoga moves the living environment of the "Hometown of Longevity" in Bama, Guangxi, into a yoga studio. The longevity elements of Bama were replicated in the yoga studio. First, Tomalin's tourmaline was moved. It is understood that this stone, also called tourmaline, has permanent electrodes and direct current. In addition, it can emit far infrared rays. These two characteristics purify the air, inhibit bacterial growth and reduce disease. In addition, when the number of negative ions in the room reaches a certain number, it also has natural healing power. Therefore, doing yoga in an ecological yoga studio can better protect the cervical spine.

Dean Yao also introduced a few simple methods. You can exercise yourself during your break from work:

1. Rubbing the face: The middle fingers of both hands are close to the bridge of the bridge of the bridge and gently press Yingxiang acupuncture point, and wipe the face upward until it reaches the front of the forehead. Massage it along the ear to the lower jaw, and gently press around the earlobe to restore it to the cheeks next to the nose. Repeat the above actions 12 times in total.

2. Rub the neck: Rub the muscles in the back of the neck with the palm of your hand from top to bottom along the posterior margin of the neck to the spinous process of the seventh cervical spine (Dazhui point), repeat 12 times, and rub each time with your hands crossed.

3. Combing your hair: Both hands start from the hairline on the forehead and end at the hairline on the neck. They are divided into three paths, which is equivalent to combing your hair according to the route of the Yangming, Taiyang, and Shaoyang meridians in the meridians. Repeat 4 times.

4. Lift the ears: Press the middle and lower 1/3 junction of the helix and the tragus with the thumbs of both hands and the pulp of the second finger for 3 minutes each.

5. Shoulder pulling: Place your left palm on your right shoulder, place your right hand on your top of your head, and use your right hand to pull your head hard to the right, front and bottom until you feel pulling. Stay for 15 seconds, relax, and repeat 5 times. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
