Special section on functional exercise for low back pain

  One of the culprits of back and leg pain In a fairly long period of history, the shape of our nationals are more thin and thin, only a few of the rich family fat head, wide face, big belly. Undoubtedly, this kind of wide body fat in the old days symbolized a certain amount of wealth and power.  Since the reform and opening up, the rapid development of the national economy, the national life gradually affluent. With the diet structure and the change of life and work style, some people not only waist bag bulging up, but also quietly grew up “general belly”.  Of course, in the eyes of some people, “general belly” symbolizes their wealth and power, will give the social scene to grow a few points. However, from a health perspective, “General belly” can be one of the culprits of back pain.  The human lumbar spine is located above the sacral spine, is physiologically convex, before the abdominal muscles, after the lumbar back muscles to maintain its stability. Imagine that the lumbar spine may be compared to a sailboat mast on the open sail, the lumbar spine before and after the abdominal muscles and lumbar back muscles are like the mast sail on both sides of the rope, under normal conditions, the mast on both sides of the rope tension should be balanced, so that under the action of the wind, the sail will open so that the sailboat steadily forward, and the lumbar spine in front of the “general belly” is just like Is to the sail in front of the rope tied to a heavy piece, thus destroying the balance of tension between the two groups of muscles before and after the lumbar spine, coupled with the lack of exercise, not enough developed lumbar back muscles in a state of extreme tension all day long, thus manifesting as intermittent lumbar muscle pain. Over time, once more than the body’s compensatory capacity, it will destroy the internal stability of the lumbar spine, accelerate the degeneration of the lumbar intervertebral discs, so that the lumbar spine in a vicious cycle of instability. The unstable lumbar spine will have misalignment, misalignment, slippage, scoliosis, lumbar disc protrusion, thus stimulating the nerves and soft tissues around the lumbar spine will cause persistent lumbar pain.  In order to reduce the probability of suffering from lumbar pain, as far as possible from the “general belly”, which depends not only on a reasonable and scientific diet structure, but more importantly, we must pay attention to the physical exercise, especially the exercise of the lumbar back and abdominal muscles.  The following, to introduce you to an effective lumbar spine functional exercise method, not only simple to operate, and targeted, widely used. It is clinically proven that this lumbar spine functional exercise method is suitable for both the prevention of lumbar pain and the rehabilitation of lumbar pain.  A. Supine leg raising method The main points of the action are: lie on your back on the bed, the body limbs are in a natural relaxed state. With legs straight and together, slowly and evenly lift them up, with inhalation during the lifting process, and when the legs are lifted to the highest position, stay for a few seconds and exhale at the same time; then slowly and evenly lower the legs, with inhalation during the process of lowering the legs. According to personal physical condition, do 5 to 10 times a day in the morning and evening.  Second, the two-handed foot climbing method sitting on the bed, double back straight, the upper body bent forward, the upper limbs straight, hands try to grab the farthest lower limbs, and then raise the head in a forward-looking position, imagining that there is a rope pulling the jaw to the direction of the tip of the foot, hold for 5 seconds before releasing the hands and return to the sitting position. According to personal physical condition, do 5 to 10 times a day in the morning and evening.  The point of the above exercise movements is: the movement is uniform, try to do every movement. The two sets of movements can be done alternately, or separately, according to individual circumstances. The number of exercises is determined by the actual tolerance of the patient, the general principle is “start early, first easy and then difficult, first small amplitude and then large, the number of times from small to large, the time from short to long, step by step, persistent.”  The above exercise method is inspired by “practice gong eighteen method”, “eight duanjin”, its mechanism of action is: through the pulling exercise of the lumbar muscles and abdominal muscles to maintain its good physiological elasticity and stress; at the same time through the exercise exercise can cause abdominal “General belly” fat is consumed, thus reducing the burden of lumbar spine abdominal stress, thus ensuring the balance of the lumbar spine tension. The lumbar spine is in a stable, balanced stress environment, in order to play its normal flexion, extension, rotation and other physiological functions.
