Taijiquan is a familiar exercise that can be practiced regularly to strengthen the muscles and bones and the body. But many people may not know that taijiquan also has the effect of preventing cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis: In the prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis, taijiquan is very effective. Cervical spondylosis is mainly caused by the patient maintaining a posture for a long time so that the cervical spine does not get sufficient activity, often practice taijiquan can make cervical spondylosis gradually improve. Because taijiquan stances pay attention to “rolling around” “pulling the neck” “waist with the crotch and other skills, with special attention to the neck, limbs and hand-eye coordination, long-term practice can make the cervical vertebrae in a state of activity, to Shu tendons and blood, to This will also help restore and strengthen the elasticity of the muscles and ligaments around the cervical spine, thus effectively alleviating the symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Here is a recommended move for you to Taijiquan, the prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis is particularly effective: stand straight body, feet apart about the same width as the shoulders, arms naturally placed on both sides of the body; then arms slowly raised forward upward (while deep inhalation) straighten the arms, palms forward. Then slowly move the arms down to the abdomen (while exhaling, pay attention not to bend the arms), and when the arms are the same height as the shoulders, start the horse stance squat, and then push the arms forward with a dark force. Note that in the course of the action, the wrist should be relaxed, eyes on the hand, head with the palm of the hand to move and do up and down movement, the horse stance should not be too low. Regular practice of this move can make the neck muscles and ligaments to get up and down stretching exercise, so as to achieve the effect of restoring muscle ligament elasticity. Prevention and treatment of lumbar spondylosis: In the prevention and treatment of lumbar spondylosis, taijiquan also has a very good effect. Because most of the movements of taijiquan are in the exercise of the waist, advocating the use of gas to attract force, when playing boxing, requires that “always stay in the waist gap”. The kidneys of the human body happen to be located in the waist, through the twisting and floating movement of the waist, can make the circulation of qi and blood in the waist, so that the kidneys are constantly filled with nutrients, thus improving the weakness of the waist and playing a “kidney” role. In addition, Taijiquan also requires “adjusting the breath and sinking the qi in the dantian”. The so-called “adjusting breath” is to eliminate inner distractions and selfish desires, and to be calm and peaceful; “Dantian” is the small abdomen under the navel, when the qi sinks to this part, the blood flow of the kidneys will be accelerated, which is conducive to the regulation of the kidneys’ water and fluids. At the same time, deep breathing can exhale the old and nourish the new, transforming into the essence of the latter to enrich the kidney essence, thus strengthening the kidney function. And when the kidney function is good, the lumbar spine will naturally be healthy. Taijiquan is worth learning for patients with lumbar spondylosis, which can help improve the symptoms: stand with your feet apart, legs slightly bent, hands received in the abdomen, lift your left foot one step forward, hands fingers slightly apart, push forward, arms straight and then turn your palms down, landing, while the body stoops low, palms back and put them back in the abdomen. Then, then the right foot step forward, two palm action as before. When doing this move, the waist should be completely relaxed, when the body is bent down, the movement should be slow. Regular practice of this move can fully stretch the muscles and ligaments of the waist and back, thus improving the circulation of Qi and blood in the waist, enhancing muscle strength and effectively reducing the symptoms of back pain. It is worth mentioning that the regular practice of taijiquan, in addition to preventing cervical lumbar spondylosis, can also effectively regulate the mood of such patients. Because the practice of taijiquan requires the whole body and mind to relax and focus all attention on the boxing, which prevents the patient from being immersed in a sick state throughout the day and can help him or her to release negative emotions such as fear and sadness and anxiety, thus enabling the condition to heal faster.
