Cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis can be said to be "common problems" among office workers. Nowadays, more and more massage and bone-setting centers are opening to treat these diseases. Gyms are not willing to be outdone, but also want to get a piece of this market. Recently, reporters saw in several gyms in the city that a new fitness method called "health yoga" has attracted a large number of office workers to join.

"Inhale, raise your hands up, level with your shoulders..." As soon as we walked into the gym, the reporter saw a group of young women doing gymnasism-like movements under the leadership of a coach. Jin Chunzi, a health yoga coach at the Oriental Fitness Club, told reporters that this is health yoga and is specially designed for staff who have been at their desks for a long time. Since the gymnasium opened the health yoga course, many white-collar women have signed up to participate. Currently, the courses are full and their popularity is even more popular than ordinary yoga courses.

Coach Jin Chunzi introduced that yoga has several major effects in body shaping, beauty, and mood regulation, while health yoga strengthens the practice of wrists, neck and shoulders, and has an auxiliary treatment effect on cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis. Coach Jin Chunzi believes that health yoga has unique effects and its unique practice methods. For example, the twisting, stretching, bending and other movements in health yoga have the effect of gradually lengthening ligaments and tendons, stretching blood vessels, strengthening blood vessel elasticity, enhancing blood vessel flow into the brain, and promoting blood circulation; while the bending movements can massage endocrine glands, such as thyroid gland, adrenal gland, etc. In addition, through various stretching, bending, and inverted postures combined with the rhythm of breathing, it can effectively stimulate glands and internal organs, regulate nerves, correct bones, and achieve health preservation.
