Scoliosis is a skeletal deformity disease that occurs during the skeletal development of adolescents. The spine is C-shaped or S-shaped, usually accompanied by spinal twisting, and the back is asymmetrical. When the body bends forward, the entire back is not visible. Contour, rendering Razorback. The cause of scoliosis has not yet been identified.
“⑥” in the picture is the back of the razor
One, what happened to the scoliosis body?
When the scoliosis is present, the muscles on the left and right sides of the body are obviously unbalanced. One muscle appears thick and tense, while the other muscle appears weak and weak. The muscles on the left and right sides of the body are not balanced. In daily life or sports, the muscles on the “dominant” side are often used, and the muscles on the “weak” side are difficult to mobilize. In addition, thoracic scoliosis will also affect the shape of the entire thoracic cage. The volume of the thoracic cage on the concave side is relatively smaller, and the movement of the rib cage in the thoracic cavity is also weakened. Overall, the lung capacity is worse than that of normal people.
Second, can scoliosis participate in sports?
1, Adolescence
If scoliosis occurs in adolescence, because the bones are still developing, the first consideration is to prevent and control the aggravation of scoliosis, so it is necessary to Rehabilitation and correction of scoliosis is carried out, and targeted training adjustments are made according to the segment and direction of individual scoliosis.
Let the spine grow upright as much as possible. It is recommended to jog and swim. On the one hand, it is to improve cardiopulmonary function, and on the other hand, this kind of exercise Both upper and lower limbs move symmetrically, without worrying about affecting the spine.
It is not recommended to play badminton, tennis, football and other unilateral limb sports, such unilateral sports will not improve scoliosis, and Only develop one side of the muscle, if the side of the muscle that has been exercised for a long time will aggravate the scoliosis, it will not be worth the gain.
2, after adulthood
After reaching adulthood, many people have a lot of doubts. Scoliosis has always been experienced in adolescence. Anyway, when you are an adult, you don’t need to worry about the shape of the spine and bones. This is it.
If the scoliosis bones are set and left alone, it will actually accelerate the degeneration of the spine. In scoliosis, the force on the left and right sides of the spine is unbalanced, and the stress on the intervertebral disc is also asymmetric, and the probability of intervertebral disc herniation is higher. Therefore, adults with scoliosis should pay more attention to their spinal health and prevent spinal diseases.
Rehabilitation function training, Pilates, running, swimming, etc. can be performed to keep the spine in a good state.
3, fitness enthusiasts
In addition, many fitness enthusiasts worry about whether scoliosis can do heavy weight fitness training.
If you want to shape your body through fitness and make your muscles more developed, it is not impossible for you to exercise with scoliosis. However, it needs to be more scientific and cautious, and the training method and training volume are different from those of normal people.
Most fitness exercises are upper or lower body symmetry, such as bench press, high pull-down, squat, deadlift, etc. Wait.
The left and right sides of the trunk of the scoliosis body are unbalanced, and the force pattern is different. It is very likely that one joint will be overstressed, and the risk of sports injury is high. Therefore, fitness enthusiasts with scoliosis should first perform scoliosis rehabilitation training to strengthen the stability of the spine, balance and control the muscles on the left and right sides of the trunk, and adjust the posture to a relatively balanced state before exercising.
Before training, you need to do a full warm-up, put the specific scoliosis exercise training and core stability in the warm-up group, and the joint movement during training. The angle must be controlled to be symmetrical to the left and right to avoid the torso being skewed left and right.
Third, write the final words
If you do not know the type and degree of scoliosis, it is recommended to seek a doctor or rehabilitation therapist for a posture assessment. After clarifying the specific situation, the physical therapist will give a matching exercise rehabilitation plan, and the symptoms of scoliosis will be bettercorrect.
Final reminder: Scoliosis, the problem can be big or small, not only in terms of posture, severe scoliosis will affect the growth and development of infants and young people, and deform the body. Affect cardiopulmonary function, and even involve the spinal cord, resulting in paralysis. Scoliosis is a common disease endangering adolescents and children, the key is early detection and early treatment.
Finally, please take care of yourself~~
Bless you!
