What should scoliosis patients pay attention to when exercising?

The most important thing to pay attention to is to avoid scoliosis aggravation. Although there are many benefits to fitness, you can:

1.Promotes heart health: Strong muscles reduce the need for the heart during daily activities.

2.Increased bone density: As your muscles become stronger, bone density naturally increases to support the extra weight they bring, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

3.Weight control: It's not just about appearance. Obesity is a risk factor for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

However, because scoliosis sufferers have an imbalance in the strength of the muscles on both sides of the back. This imbalance can be exacerbated by improper fitness methods, which can lead to worsening scoliosis. So I hope to do the following before the gym:

Know your scoliosis. Although the cause of scoliosis is not clear in more than 80% of scoliosis cases (called primary scoliosis), it can be divided into functional scoliosis and structural scoliosis according to changes in bone structure, especially scoliosis with some clear causes. Functional scoliosis:

The skeletal structure is normal, and there are no pathological changes in the muscles and ligaments.

1) Common judgment: when lying flat, the phenomenon of scoliosis disappears; When the body bends forward and sideways to the convex surface, the protrusion disappears; You know you have a scoliosis, but you can correct it by adjusting your posture.

2) Possible causes: imbalance of muscles on both sides of the spine; long and short legs caused by pathological or developmental factors; Abnormal movement patterns, such as low back pain, leading to improper posture and posture in daily life. When this type of problem is resolved, usually this type of scoliosis disappears.

Therefore, it is necessary to seek professional advice as soon as possible**, and then exercise according to professional advice.

My situation and experience are almost exactly the same as yours, the doctors said in unison that "adult scoliosis is absolutely impossible to correct" as if they had unified the caliber, and I was not reconciled at the beginning, and I also looked for information on the Internet everywhere, and also came to Zhihu to ask. Now that I've figured it out, I think the first step is to face up to the fact that the doctors may be right. That's it for our scoliosis, it can't be corrected, so, I just ask for scoliosis not to affect my going to the gym to exercise, before I know my scoliosis, I like heavy squats, deadlifts, etc., and after knowing my scoliosis, I don't know if I can do these movements.

In addition, I found that the left and right latissimus dorsi muscles (in fact, the entire left upper body is much smaller than the right side) are different in size, so I went to the hospital for examination. Therefore, I agree with the statement of the 2nd floor that muscle imbalance is a consequence of scoliosis, not a cause.

Patients with scoliosis are suitable for exercises that can strengthen the chest and back muscles and lower back muscles, such as Xiaoyanfei, plank, three-point support or five-point support. The first two sets of movements are mainly suitable for people who have just started exercising, and they are relatively simple to do, while the latter two sets of movements are mainly suitable for skilled people, and the requirements for the strength of the lower back muscles are relatively strong. If you have more time in your daily life, it is also good to swim 3-4 times a week.

It should be noted here that if scoliosis is a minor, it is necessary to go to the hospital regularly for relevant imaging evaluations to determine whether there is a need to wear an orthopedic brace and whether the brace is effective and adjusted in time. If the angle of scoliosis is 30 degrees or less in adulthood, no intervention is required, and once it reaches more than 35 degrees, surgery can only be performed.

Scoliosis patients can exercise their spine by doing pull-ups, flipping ups, and other movements to perform single and parallel bar exercises. It can also increase the flexibility of the spine through yoga, dance, and physical exercises, and improve the patient's cardiopulmonary function through swimming and running. Physical activity on the single parallel bars does not refer to simply hanging on the single parallel bars, which can cause hand injuries.

Patients should often do pull-ups, flips up and other actions, use their own gravity to do traction, other physical activities are also helpful, such as yoga, dance, physical exercises, can make the flexibility of the spine to be exercised, swimming, running and other sports are not much help for scoliosis itself, but can improve the cardiopulmonary function of scoliosis patients.

Scoliosis is mostly caused by poor posture, such as improper sitting posture and carrying a shoulder bag that weighs too much, resulting in torso one.

Lateral overstress, etc., tend to occur in adolescents, and some scoliosis is caused by diseases.

If the degree of scoliosis is not severe, it can be corrected through manual exercises and self-exercise.

Severe scoliosis is best corrected with a brace, and severe cases require surgical correction.

The exercise of scoliosis can start by adjusting the pelvis and nearby muscles, because the pelvis is the center of gravity of the human body, the pelvis.

After adjusting, work on the other muscles upwards.

Scoliosis muscles in the lateral direction are generally weaker, so you can start training with the muscles in the lateral direction.

Lean over and fly on the back.

Leaning over and flying the back is a classic action to target the upper back muscles, which can be exercised to the deltoid posterior fascicle, rhomboids, trapezius...

This can help you regain the strength of your back muscles and correct your scoliosis.

How to move: Keep your legs shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell or mineral water bottle in each hand, sink your shoulders and tighten your shoulder blades at the same time, and straighten your chest and abdomen.

Lean over with your hands slightly bent, arms and dumbbells hanging to the ground, tuck your abdomen, and keep your upper body parallel to the ground or at an angle of 30 to 45° to the ground.

Tighten the elbow joint, the arm and dumbbell become a whole, open the arms to the sides of the body, and squeeze the shoulder blades with both arms upwards at the same time, and hold the highest point for 3 seconds before slowly falling.

Precautions: Exhale when opening and inhale as falling.

Keep your entire back straight and don't slump over.

The arm abduction angle is small, you can focus on the deltoid posterior bundle, and the arm abduction angle is large to contract the shoulder blades, which can be exercised to the upper back.

Keep it steady when you lift your arm, don't shake, if your arm shakes, it may be that the weight of the dumbbell is too large, and it is recommended to replace the low-weight dumbbell or with your bare hands.

Practice method: You don't need fancy equipment, you don't need to go to the gym, as long as you have a small dumbbell, between work, between washing, cooking, and when you are chasing dramas, you can instantly feel like flying, and you can also exercise your arms in a few minutes to strengthen your back.

In the bedroom, in the living room, in the office, as long as you are happy, you can practice this movement at any time to relieve the shoulder and back pain caused by improper posture.

When you first start making flying birds, it is best to work with a companion or a mirror next to you to observe the regularity of the movements up close and make sure you find the right position for your power.

Or, start with a simpler seated flying bird.

Sit on the edge of a workout bench or chair and bend over with your arms down, making sure your arms are hanging down, making sure your chest is just above your legs, your back is straight, and your abdomen and thighs fit.

You can also practice on your stomach to better grasp the position of the force.

Or so. Once you are proficient, slowly transition to the upright pose.

Fragment time exercises, 2 to 3 sets per day, each group does 8 to 12 pieces;

Systematic training of the shoulder and back, 2 3 times a week, with an interval of not less than 2 days, 4 16 sets each time, 8 12 pieces each.

If you feel that practicing only one movement is too boring, you can combine it with other shoulder and back movements.

From 2 ends: 3 sets x 8 pcs.

Side raise: 4 sets x 12 pcs.

Lean over the back of the bird: 4 sets x 12 pieces.

Arm flexion and extension: 4 sets x 8 pcs.

Scoliosis can be divided into structural scoliosis and non-structural scoliosis, and the common causes of structural scoliosis include neuromuscular diseases (such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, progressive neuromuscular diseases, etc.), and bone lesions.

Professor Yang Junlin, Scoliosis Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, explained: Scoliosis exercises are suitable for mild scoliosis, 1Orthopedic gymnastics learning exercises, for each person's scoliosis location, degree, direction, etc.

2. Enhance the strength of the back extensor muscles, abdominal muscles, iliac muscles and shoulder muscles, such as small delphinium, arch bridge, horizontal bar, swimming, etc., about 30 60 minutes each time; It is advisable to seek medical attention** and exercise under the guidance of the attending physician.

More than ten degrees in the "sidebend boundary" should be regarded as light and light! But LZ is only 15 years old, and he is at an age of rapid growth, and it is certain that the degree will worsen, because this disease is similar to a progressive disease. But as long as you are in your 20s, you don't grow anymore, and the degree is still below 40 degrees, it's not a big deal.

If you are exercising, given that the LZ power is very light, nothing is fine, but it is not recommended to run fastMovements that significantly compress the spine, such as jumping. You can go hanging the horizontal bar and swim (highly recommended)!!

and diastolic exercises. Finally, if surgery is chosen, the height will increase. But if it is 15 degrees, there will be no obvious change, and some will be more than 10 centimeters at 105 degrees!

LZ170CM is not needed).

First, patients should develop good living and exercise habits at ordinary times, avoid excessive fatigue of the spine, and form good habits and postures, such as walking with the chest up and head up, not hunchbacked.

Patients with second scoliosis should eat more protein-rich foods in their diet, such as milk, eggs and lean meat, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Thirdly, you should maintain a correct posture when working or studying, and perform appropriate physical exercises.

Fourthly, if the patient is undergoing surgery, try to lie flat after surgery, keep the body straight, and avoid standing for a long time or strenuous activity before the spine is formed.

Hello, scoliosis should develop correct living habits in daily life, avoid sitting for a long time, standing for a long time, and bad posture, and choose a harder bed for sleeping, too soft bed is not conducive to the overall muscle balance of the spine, will aggravate the patient's discomfort. It can be used to strengthen outdoor sports to enhance muscle strength, improve spine flexibility, and strengthen three-dimensional activities of the spine, such as playing ball and swimming.

The formation of scoliosis is first related to the incorrect sitting posture in daily life, especially in students and sedentary people. Sit upright at your desk with your back straight. Put an end to bad habits such as Ge You lying down and bending his legs.

For scoliosis patients, they should avoid doing too strenuous exercises in their daily life. Because too intense exercise will seriously affect the stability of the spine, so it has a bad impact on scoliosis, and everyone must choose the intensity of the exercise that suits them when exercising.

For example: 1. Play basketball.

2. Play table tennis.

3. Run fast.

4. Play football.

5. Play badminton.

Scoliosis is actually a three-dimensional deformity of the entire spine, and deformities can occur in the thoracic spine, lumbar spine, and cervical spine. Before there is stiffness, its flexibility should be fine, but with the further development of scoliosis, after the deformation of the joints, after the rotation of the vertebral body, and after the deformity of the thoracic cage, its flexibility is poor, and it may be difficult to compensate for some strenuous activities. Like a child with scoliosis, the reserve function of the heart and lungs is relatively poor, so like some strenuous activities, playing football, basketball, this kind of vigorous confrontation activities should not be participated, he is usually suitable for doing sports, that is, soft activities, such as swimming, jogging, cycling and so on.

It is recommended to choose an orthopedic hospital with medical insurance qualifications, which is more targeted, and can also be trained under the guidance of doctors, which is of great help to the condition, and the medical insurance charges are more reasonable, and can also reduce economic pressure, I hope it will help you.

When wearing a brace, you can engage in general outdoor activities normally.

When you don't wear a brace every day, you can do some spinal stretching activities and other exercises, and the way of movement is basically unlimited.

However, it is not recommended to exercise that puts longitudinal pressure on the body, such as carrying heavy objects with weights.

When scoliosis occurs, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise in daily life, as these exercises may worsen the severity of scoliosis. In addition, scoliosis patients should not be able to run regularly, because running can also affect the shape of the spine.

Scoliosis can cause an imbalance in the force of the muscles on both sides. If it is a unilateral exercise, this imbalance will be exacerbated, and the scoliosis will be more severe.

Sports such as table tennis, basketball, and football belong to unilateral force. Running, swimming and other sports are relatively safe.

Wishing you good health!

Unilateral movements affect the spine.

For example: basketball, table tennis, badminton.

Unilateral sports, basketball, badminton, volleyball, bowling, these, broadcast gymnastics are recommended.

<> "In recent years, spinal diseases and deficiency diseases have shown a younger trend, which is mainly due to the excessive pressure of spinal foci caused by most people sitting for a long time, looking down at their mobile phones and working at their desks.

3 movements to save scoliosis and correct posture.
