Yoga has always been the preferred form of exercise for white-collar workers. However, medical experts believe that not everyone is suitable for yoga, for people with cervical and lumbar spine disease, do excessive stretching and bending yoga movements, it is easy to lead to excessive extrusion of the vertebrae on the intervertebral discs, injury to the intervertebral discs, causing the protrusion of the discs, or make the original protruding discs more prominent, thus aggravating the condition. Why do so many people practice yoga spinal injury? In clinical practice, we have encountered many patients with cervical and lumbar spine disease due to yoga practice. An important reason is that many white-collar workers go to the fitness, often eager for results and can not be gradual and persistent. When the interest comes, a fierce practice, no interest in the three days fishing two days to sunbathe, especially unauthorized bravado, engage in climbing practice some difficult movements, indeed easy to cause spinal injury. Another reason is that many fitness centers, in order to make money, regardless of whether the students are suitable for practicing yoga, as long as they pay the money, they can participate in learning, so that people who can not practice yoga also began to hot pursuit of yoga. And most of the yoga instructors have no medical foundation, and they know nothing about human anatomy, but in order to pursue “quick results”, they cause injuries to the students. According to reports, a 40-year-old Ms. Lin in Wuxi paid more than 10,000 yuan to learn yoga, and after practicing shoulder and elbow inversion, she suffered a cervical fracture and herniated disc. Who is not suitable for practicing yoga? Yoga originated in India, many local people are practiced since childhood, children have good flexibility and are not easily injured. Most of our domestic are adults “halfway” to practice, ligaments, bones have been a certain degree of aging, coupled with improper practice, injury is inevitable! Shen Tong believes that the following four groups of people are not suitable for yoga: 1, after entering middle age, ligaments, joint degeneration, muscle stiffness, for no strong muscle protection and support, forcibly practice difficult yoga movements, which is already very fragile cervical vertebrae, spine is undoubtedly a huge “challenge”, very easy to lead to muscle strains and Vertebral body misalignment. Unless you have been practicing yoga since you were a child, your body has good flexibility. 2, already have osteoporosis patients, especially osteoporosis more serious women. Due to the decrease in bone hardness and increase in brittleness, when practicing yoga, a little inattention may cause compression fractures or vertebral rupture. 3.Patients with cervical and lumbar spine disease. If you practice certain movements of yoga, such as plowing, it is easy to cause disc protrusion or the original condition is more serious. 4.Patients with cardiovascular disease or obesity. If the action is strenuous, such as doing inversions, it is likely to make the heart burden increased, causing discomfort. Yoga four dangerous movements do not blindly follow Yoga is a good relaxation exercise, for the spine, moderate yoga practice can let the muscle relaxation stretch, enhance muscle ligament toughness, so that the spinal joint stability, in this sense, yoga has a certain role in protecting the spine. It is worth pointing out that there are a lot of yoga asanas that bend the spine forward and backward, and these bends exceed a certain number of degrees, which can cause excessive extrusion of the vertebrae on the intervertebral discs, hurting the intervertebral discs and causing them to degenerate faster or even protrude. Shen Tong said, not everyone is suitable for yoga, especially the “rookie” and some middle-aged and elderly people who have never been exposed to yoga, when they start practicing, a little inattention may cause damage to the spine, aggravating the cervical spine, lumbar spine lesions. Four dangerous moves: 1. plow pose and its variations; 2. shoulderstand; 3. wheel pose; 4. standing or lying stretch.
