Can Tai Chi treat lumbar disc herniation?

You can experiment with backward walking first: be sure to wear flat shoes, take small and slow steps, and pay attention to safety; You can also go barefoot or wear only socks, step on a book about 20 mm thick with your front foot, and feel it, is the back pain reduced? Do you feel better?

If you feel good, you can stick to walking backwards, or you can wear negative heels (also called backward walking shoes), the principle is the same as walking backwards, it is easier to stick to it, and the effect is more solid.

If you have a herniated lumbar disc, it is recommended not to do strenuous exercise, but to do some slight stretching or rotation exercises to move your waist and increase the flexibility of your waist.

It's not very suitable, I don't know if you've heard of "Tai Chi waist", the so-called "Tai Chi waist" is Tai Chi boxing focuses on the waist, Tai Chi kung fu on the waist.

In Wu Yuxiang's "Taijiquan Treatise", there is a sentence "dominate the waist". In Hao Yueru's martial arts Taijiquan, there is a sentence in the "fighting hands" that "the rotation hub is at the waist". These two sentences are more general, because in fact all boxing has to do this.

Whether it is a chic and generous long fist, or a steady and steady southern fist, or even a drunken fist that leans forward and backward and tilts left and right, etc., they are all dominated by the waist without exception, and the whole body is driven by the waist. Even when I walk, I usually walk. It's not surprising that you accidentally flash your waist first and hurt for a few days.

Strangely, some people deliberately increase the rotation amplitude of the waist and abdomen when walking the frame and pushing hands, thinking that this is to strengthen the practice of "rotating the hub in the waist", and who is the word "rotation" in the sentence aimed at? To the waist? Not!

In fact, it refers to the rotation of all parts of the body.

The requirements of Chen-style Taijiquan in terms of strength are "the overall source of strength is the waist and spine, the arc is walking, the straight line is exerted, the phase change of the hair is accumulated, the opportunity is strong, and the random and rapid outbreak". It looks like a sudden ejection after a spring is compressed. In order to achieve such force, you must take the waist as the main control when practicing boxing, and you must be motionless and continuous.

It can be seen that the requirements of Tai Chi for the waist are not small, if the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is not very serious, do some movements can exercise the waist, in addition to many large movements, should not do more, or even better not to do. However, if the lumbar disc herniation is more severe, don't practice too much......
