Lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, osteoarthritis in the elderly and other lumbar and leg pain diseases are commonly known as “lumbar and leg pain”, which are common diseases in the outpatient clinics of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology and the Department of Tui-Na. With the rise of minimally invasive therapy in recent years, a wide world has opened up for the treatment of this kind of intractable diseases. However, conservative treatment should not be neglected, otherwise, the symptoms relieved by surgery or medication will often appear again soon. Active exercise is part of the conservative treatment of Chinese medicine, and now I will tell you the role of backward walking in the treatment of back and leg pain. Some patients in the clinic often ask me about the method of health care, and I always tell them that “walking backwards” is a simple and effective exercise method. However, some patients do not improve significantly after walking backwards for a period of time. The reason for this is that there is a problem with the way they walk backwards. Once, a patient asked me, “Why did I walk backwards for half a year, but it didn’t work?” I asked him to walk for a while. I saw that he was bending his back and walking forward in the same posture. How can this kind of posture and form be effective without any difference from walking? The correct way to practice walking backwards should be: in corridors, parks, playgrounds and other open spaces, two legs straight and take large steps backwards alternately, the knee joints always remain straight can not be bent, the two palms overlapping set in the to not be right in the middle, the upper body as far as possible to maintain the back extension, an anti-bow posture, but not excessive force, when the muscles of the lower back should be relaxed. Such a posture and entitled to help improve the tension of the muscles of the low back, strengthen the activities of the small joints of the lumbar spine, help resolve the adhesions of the small joints, restore the normal victory curvature of the lumbar spine, so that the intervertebral space, fiber ring, intervertebral ligaments pulling the periphery to produce peripheral pressure, which is conducive to intervertebral disc retraction, release the intervertebral disc to nerve root stimulation and compression. Thus relieving the symptoms.
