What are the exercises that can effectively help the spine?

With the development of society, more and more people like the comfortable life in the office. They hate heavy work and just like to sit next to the computer to watch movies and listen to music. It seems that everyone thinks that this office job is very prestigious, but they don’t know that it is this comfortable life that is slowly corroding everyone’s spine and causing many spinal diseases that are difficult to cure.

The spine is the backbone of a person. If there is a problem with the backbone, the whole person will collapse and become paralyzed. Therefore, we must protect our backbone and do some necessary exercises to help the spine and prevent its pathology. So what actions can effectively help the spine?

Spinal diseases are very common in our daily lives. Some people maintain a posture for a long time, forcing the cervical spine to be under pressure for a long time, which will cause discomfort symptoms over time. However, this disease is widely prevalent among people who work at desks in offices. Liu Wentao, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Hebei Youai Hospital, pointed out: In fact, as long as you learn the following movements, you can effectively prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis:

1. Move your neck: look up at the sky: stand upright with your hands hanging down and your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly raise your head and look up at the sky. Try to look up as far as possible and keep your eyes fixed on a target. Maintain this posture for about 15 seconds. Massage the neck: Stand upright or sit, use the thumbs of both hands to massage the back of the neck, first press the middle part, then press the muscles on both sides, from top to bottom and from bottom to top, repeat 15 times. Shake your head: Shake your head forward, backward, left and right in sequence. Shake your head in this way for a full circle, and then shake it in the opposite direction. Do it 10 times on the left and right sides.

2. Correct sitting posture: To prevent the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, the most important thing is to sit correctly, relax the neck and shoulders, and maintain the most comfortable and natural posture. Office workers should also stand up and walk around from time to time to move their neck and shoulders to relax the muscles in their neck and shoulders.

3. Outdoor sports: Every part of the human body is closely related, and no local health is separated from the overall health. Therefore, whole-body exercise will be more effective for the rehabilitation and treatment of cervical spondylosis. For patients with cervical spondylosis, playing badminton, swimming, etc., not only exercise the whole body, but are also very targeted.

Of course, there are many other movements that can effectively help the spine maintain a healthy shape. I will not list them all here. As long as we always remember that comfortable things are beautiful, but this beauty comes at a price. We must use simple movements to fight against this unnecessary price and strive to achieve true beauty.
