Most women who do housework have spinal problems, and “back pain” has become a mantra for women, so how do you do housework to protect your spine? Can people with spinal disorders still do housework? Sweeping and scrubbing are almost daily chores that can be done in a few moments, but there are also details that need attention, and a little negligence will accelerate the degeneration of the spinal joints. Such as sweeping the floor, the upper body leaning forward significantly posture is not right, easy to increase the load on the lumbar spine, causing lumbar muscle strain. Many people take this posture sweeping, not long will feel back pain, the reason is this. The correct posture of sweeping should be this: the broom close to the body, the length of the broom handle should also match the height, not too short, and then try to straighten the back, the legs are bow and arrow posture, with the front and rear feet weight adjustment to drive the body and broom, so as to avoid aggravating the lumbar spine load. Remember, don’t stand still and stretch your arms to sweep the garbage in the distance, then you will have to bend excessively. When cleaning the dead corner under the table and chairs, do not straight knees and bend over to increase the pressure on the back, you should keep your back straight, bend your knees and sweep the garbage in a semi-squatting position. And wipe the floor posture, but also have to pay attention to. Some people are accustomed to kneeling to wipe the floor, think so that wipe clean, the result will not only cause low back pain over time, but also trigger patellofemoral and femoral pain. The patella is our kneecap, the femur is the thigh bone, kneeling to wipe the floor, the patella pressure will be exerted on the femur, which will make the two bones between the cartilage extrusion and wear, over time the knee will be damaged, can not straighten, can not get up. This situation is particularly dangerous for the elderly, because the joints of the elderly have already degenerated, often kneeling on the floor will accelerate the wear and tear aging of the lower knee joints, easy to cause joint pain, and even arthritis. Therefore, try not to kneel to wipe the floor, even if you have to take this posture, should also be under the knee cushion, to reduce the pressure on the bones, and kneeling time can not be too long, every 10 minutes to change the posture of a break. The most scientific posture of the floor should be sitting on a small bench, or simply sitting directly on the ground, which can greatly reduce the patellar load, to prevent the symptoms of knee pain. Of course, you can also use your feet on the rag, walking back and forth on the floor, so as to better protect the spine, but also to “wipe easy”.
