In ancient China, Hua Tuo invented the Five Animals, including “tiger”, “deer”, “ape”, “bear” and “bird”. “The first four of these animals are all crawlers. I guess Hua Tuo’s intention was to imitate these animals to play a preventive role in health care for the joints of the human body, and crawling is an important part of it, because the spines of these animals are parallel to the ground when crawling. When the human body is upright, the intervertebral discs and small joints between the spine will accept the extrusion from gravity, gradually causing degenerative changes between the intervertebral discs and small joints, thus causing joint inactivity and pain. Therefore, proper imitation of animal crawling can relieve the pressure on the soft tissues in and around the vertebral body. As for the later evolution, why most people practice “Five Animal Play” is all standing exercise, perhaps because they feel that crawling on the ground is really indecent, right? The exact reason is yet to be proven. Now, as the public’s awareness of health gradually improved, in fact, there are already many people with back pain are practicing crawling at home, just too embarrassed to take out to say! There are many ways to practice crawling, it does not have to be like this old man inside the TV crawling with both legs straight, because not everyone can bend over when both hands touch the ground. Beginning practitioners can use both knees to crawl, like a baby crawling around on the ground. Of course, kneeling like this requires thick knee pads to protect the knee joints! If it is simply crawling practice, it will be more hygienic to bring gloves. Those who have back pain can try the effect by insisting on 10 minutes a day. Finally, it is important to emphasize that any kind of exercise has its own scope of application. For example, friends with heavy hypertension and heart disease should practice crawling with caution, and some patients with low back pain have more pain after crawling, so do not practice again, indicating that it is not suitable for this exercise method. And sacroiliac joint dislocation heavier practice crawling exercise effect is not very good, there are some heavy osteophytes is not very good, some climbing will also be more pain, if this phenomenon indicates that not suitable for practice crawling.
