The flexible spine is, the young person is

The title of

comes from an ancient yoga motto. Spine experts say: The main measure of a perfect spine is resilience, strength, and elasticity, because the biggest function of the spine is to reduce impact and reduce load, and the weakening of the flexibility of the spine is the earliest sign of human aging, because it not only makes your back unable to straighten, but even seemingly unrelated rhinitis is due to it!

If a symbol of aging flashed in your mind, what would it be? Wrinkles, white hair? But the aging of the entire body starts from the curve of the micro-camel's back... You can turn your head and look at the people around you now. Once the spine of young people hardens, they will appear much older than their actual age. On the contrary, elderly and middle-aged people whose spine and limbs maintain good elasticity will appear young and energetic. Please also pay attention to whether your spine is uncomfortable when you turn your head, because paying attention to yourself at all times is the first step to saving your spine.

Amazing numbers on the spine!

Among my country's middle-aged people, 97% have spinal diseases, which has recently become younger. More than 40% of people under the age of 40 suffer from various spinal diseases. By middle age, most women have experienced physiological periods such as pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation. Spinal problems occur frequently. Only scoliosis is three times the number of women suffering from women of the same age.

This is not a way to listen to the illustrations!

Another way to say about the spine:

Women are inferior to men!

Correct!

Experts say that women's spine is inherently weak, their muscles are small, and their physiological structure is weaker, making them more prone to fatigue and strain. Moreover, women gain weight sharply during childbirth, which causes an increase in the burden on the spine. The oxytocin secreted at this time will cause Relaxation of joints and ligaments, although it is helpful for childbirth, can lead to a decrease in the stability of the spine, especially in the lumbar spine. These will slowly repair themselves after production, but they still leave hidden dangers and are more likely to relapse; there is also a special factor in women's menopause, which can cause osteoporosis to appear about 10 years earlier than in men, and calcium is lost quickly and becomes shorter., the waist curvature increases, and the stomach is straightened forward, which can damage both the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae.

Very important! Spinal disease ≈ occupational female disease!

Prevention and self-regulation of primary symptoms:

Standing work for a long time → Location that easily causes symptoms: waist

What do I do: Stand loosely, with a stable center of gravity, not in a position for too long, not for more than an hour. If you need to stand for a long time, it is best to step on something with your feet and alternate with your left and right feet, or simply use your left and right feet to alternate the center of gravity to stand can also alleviate the problem.

Sedentary work → Parts that are prone to causing symptoms: neck, back

What do I do: sit on top of my head, lean back, have waist support, get up and walk every 30 minutes. The key point is to have a fully reversed movement for the spine.

Other times:

Okay! Walk quickly. When walking fast, the spine needs to naturally maintain physiological curvature, and the paravertebral muscles are in a tense working state that can be loaded, which is beneficial to spine health.

Sleep! Lying on your back or right. Pillow height does not exceed 12 cm, sleep to make the head and neck pad solid, do not hang. The hardness of the bed when supine position can barely put the palm into the waist is better.

Very dangerous!

Spinal minefields that women often step into:

Minefield 1: High heels can only cause knee problems. Massage is mainly from calf to knee!

Spine expert: It is true that high heels do not have the greatest impact on the spine. Their impact is mainly concentrated on the knees, but they also have a great impact on waist curvature. Often wearing high heels can easily cause back pain, especially high heels over 4 centimeters.

Mine Area 2: Since "the more flexible the spine, the younger it will appear!" A series of soft exercises such as yoga can completely meet our needs!

Spine experts: In addition to a series of exercises such as yoga to exercise flexibility, women should also do more strength exercises. Strengthening the back muscles and abdominal muscles will enhance the strength of the spine. Strength is as important as flexibility.

Minefield 3: Different spinal problems have different reactions, and their manifestations are different on the body. Some have waist pain, and some are uncomfortable in the shoulders or back of the neck. It only needs to be treated for uncomfortable areas.

Spinal experts: There are no local problems with spinal problems, only the main manifestations, because the spine is a whole. If neck pain means that there will be a corresponding point on the waist, but the degree of discomfort is different. Don't just see the most obvious ones. Point, spinal problems require full spinal conditioning.

Mine Area 4: Although hands are often numb and soft, there are problems such as mouse hands and tendinitis, these are not spinal problems.

Spine expert: These are probably caused by long-term repetitive movements and long-term contraction of the muscles in the shoulder and neck, causing the nearby stiff muscles to compress the nerves extending from the cervical vertebra to the arm. In the final analysis, the spine is damaged.

Minefield 5: Spinal problems appear immediately. Nothing happened at the time and there will be no problems later.

Spinal experts: The bearing capacity of a person's spine is relatively fixed, just like a glass of water in a cup. The capacity is so much. It has a superposition nature, but we often think that it is a one-time one. Simply put, if you moved a very heavy thing last time but didn't feel uncomfortable, but in fact, you may have only drank a small sip of water in the cup. If you moved the same weight again based on the experience of nothing else last time, it's more likely that it will explode immediately like playing blackjack.

Mine Area 6: Although the spine is a little uncomfortable in one position for a long time, I have to bend with its shape, otherwise it will be hurt.

Spine experts: For professional women who hold a position for a long time, they can stretch like a cat during office breaks. Try to avoid holding a position for a long time. If it hurts, they should do the opposite corresponding movements to this position, such as bending over. Straight back and reverse muscle stretching can relieve most mild spinal problems.

Relax!

WOW, if it has been deformed?

COSMO Healthy Words--Spinal Correction Course

In the United States, many middle-aged women have received spinal correction with their mothers since childhood, even in their 70s. They have made spinal correction a part of their lives. It applies external force to the human body and acts on the spine, so that the vertebrae of the human body move in an accurate direction to achieve the purposes of treatment and health care. It is a mature, safe and effective natural treatment. In fact, anyone who has neck pain, back pain, chest pain, limb pain, numbness, headache, dizziness, insomnia, amnesia, drowsiness, tinnitus and other problems needs spinal correction.

Q: If the spine has been deformed due to sitting posture and other reasons, can it be corrected? How to correct it?

Spine expert: This depends on the age group and degree, but the entire process must cooperate with your exercise.

20-30 If you have no congenital reasons, you can improve it through muscle relaxation and spinal correction. A course of treatment is 5 or 6 times, twice a week. If you just organize the cervical spine, it only takes 15 minutes, and the entire spine is about 40-50 minutes.

30-50 Intervertebral discs and osteoporosis may have occurred between them. The disease must be treated first and then conditioned. Generally, there are minimally invasive, acupuncture and other auxiliary methods. A course of treatment requires about 10 spinal adjustments.

At the age of 50, the main focus at this age is to solve discomfort symptoms, because degenerative diseases such as arthritis are irreversible after they appear. Just like wrinkles on the face at a certain age, it is a natural rule.

In addition to yoga, there are other saviors for the spine--

fitness ball

Appearance: The fitness ball is a flexible balloon with a diameter of 55-75 centimeters and made of special plastic materials.

Qualifications: It has been adopted by the Swiss rehabilitation medical community as early as 1963, mainly to treat back diseases, nerve disorders, knee and shoulder rehabilitation, correct posture and exercise balance.

Principle: Because the fitness ball has the characteristics of swinging and full-range movements, when you sit on the ball, you will feel unstable. At this time, your back, buttocks, abdomen, knees and other muscles need to be constantly made subtle adjustments. The spine must maintain the correct posture to maintain stability and balance. These subtle adjustments help the discs in the spine accelerate blood circulation and strengthen the back muscles. They also help improve muscle strength and improve sitting posture. Soon you will find that your back has become straight, and your chin, chest, and back pain problems will gradually disappear.
