Yoga treatment for shoulder pain and low back pain

Recently, Beijing has been raining continuously. In this area that has always spared heat and dryness, the sudden softness makes many people feel uncomfortable, especially white-collar workers who often work in offices. They sometimes complain,"My shoulders are always sore these days," My waist is so sore that I can't straighten it up "and so on.

A doctor once said,"When you clearly feel a certain part of your body, that's when there's a problem with that part." So, if your shoulders or waist have already protested, come and practice the following movements quickly.

1. Forward bend change

1. Stand and take a deep breath.

2. Inhale, place your hands behind your back, clench each other, exhale, straighten your elbows as far as possible and expand your chest.

3. Inhale, slowly bend forward, exhale, and pull your elbows apart as much as possible without touching your body. Stay for tens of seconds and take a deep breath.

4. Slowly restore and adjust breathing.

Efficacy: The forward bend variation has several stimulation points, so you can focus your thoughts on these points, such as arms, shoulders, back and hind leg muscles.

Note: If you have a stiff body, you may not be able to hold your body close to your legs at the beginning, and your arms may not be able to stretch at a large angle. However, it doesn't matter, because yoga doesn't only work if you reach the level of a trainer. As long as you reach your physical limits, this posture will already work.

Experience sharing: This action has many stimulating points, but I would mainly recommend its effect on the shoulder. When you are close to your legs and stretch your hands as much as possible, the position of the shoulder blades is just enough to stimulate the area that most often causes shoulder pain. Masseurs often press these two acupuncture points with their elbows when massaging the shoulders.

So, the first time I practiced this posture, when the two parts that I often ached were massaged by my shoulder blades and made them itchy, painful and comfortable, I was really surprised: it turns out that the body has so many "functions" and secrets that we don't know yet. It turns out that everyone's body is "designed" so accurately and just right.

2. Crocodile variant

1. Lie on your back and open your hands left and right.

2. Raise your knees and keep your knees and feet together. (It works better if you put a phone book between your feet.)

3. Maintain the position of 2, tilt your body to the side, and take 5-6 deep breaths.

4. Change the other side and do it again.

Efficacy: When the body falls to the side, the lumbar vertebra will be twisted open, and blood will be sent into the lumbar lamina to achieve the effect of treating pain.

Note: This posture is mainly used to correct the skewed waist bones. Yoga believes that if the waist posture is incorrect, it will cause low back pain. At the same time, the back will also bend, the neck will be skewed, and the mind will also be affected.

If you want to correct the crooked waist bone, in addition to doing the above crocodile variant, you should also be careful not to sleep on a spring bed or sit sideways.

Experience sharing: If it is not practiced by people with waist diseases, then the range of exercise in this position is not enough. You can straighten your legs and then tilt them to the side. This is also a very good waist movement. Just pay attention to focusing your thoughts on your waist, try to use the strength of your waist to achieve the twisting effect, and don't rely too much on the strength of your legs.

The rainy weather will always pass, but when you are healthy, don't ignore the health care of these two parts. Taking precautions is the correct health concept. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
