Scoliosis Correction Gymnastics

Scoliosis is a disease that has a great impact on physical health, especially for young people, the impact is even more serious. Therefore, whether this condition occurs or not, active treatment and prevention are needed. Scoliosis correction gymnastics can effectively prevent and treat scoliosis. Here I will introduce to you the specific methods of scoliosis correction gymnastics.

Scoliosis is a common disease that affects physical and mental health, with an incidence rate of about 1-2%. Since the main cause of idiopathic scoliosis is still unclear, there is currently no treatment targeting the cause. All treatments, including conservative and surgical treatments, are aimed at treating the consequences of the disease (scoliosis). For mild non-progressive scoliosis (thoracic curvature less than 40 degrees, lumbar curvature less than 30 degrees, and no more than 5 degrees aggravated within 1 year), customized orthotic braces are the only effective method confirmed by domestic and foreign research. Other methods include traction, massage, acupressure and corrective gymnastics, all of which play an auxiliary role in correction. Among them, corrective gymnastics plays an auxiliary correction role by improving the asymmetry of the paraspinal muscles caused by scoliosis.

Lie on your stomach and stretch one arm forward: Lie on your stomach on a mat or bed and stretch your left arm forward with all your strength, stretch your right hand backward, and at the same time lift your head and chest. Repeat 20 to 30 times, and practice 4 sets in total. Standing twist: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, twist your torso and twist to the right. After completing a body rotation, place your arms lightly at your sides and repeat the above movements (do not rotate in the other direction). During the movement, emphasize keeping your legs straight and do not move your feet to avoid reducing the effect of the exercise. Repeat 20 to 30 times, and practice 4 sets in total. Single-arm external vibration action: Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, stretch out your right arm and raise it to the limit with your bare hands toward the outside of your body, then lower it to the limit in front of and inside your body. Do this 30 to 50 times. Then hold a heavy object (2.5-5 kg) and repeat the exercise 15-20 times, for a total of 4 sets. Hold the stick and swing to the side and upward to stretch: Lie prone on the mat, with your hands wider than shoulder width, holding a stick, rope or towel, lift your chest and abdomen, bend your left arm, straighten your right arm, and exert force to the right to do a swinging side body movement, while at the same time lifting your upper body and arms as high as possible. If you are holding a rope or towel, make sure it is taut and do not let it loosen and sink. Repeat 20 to 30 times, and practice 4 sets in total.
