With the change of people's working lifestyles, sedentary is the norm for modern people.
Long-term desk work, facing the computer display, or driving a car will cause a lot of pressure on the shoulder and neck, lower back muscles.
Whenever a day of work is over, dragging a tired body, where do you usually think first? Do you go to the gym or the massage parlor?
Rather than taking the initiative and exercising actively, most people prefer to relieve physical discomfort through passive means, such as blind massage.
One data shows that 91% of Chinese experience physical pain, and 34% experience physical pain every week, the most common of which is shoulder and neck pain.
This reflects the impact of modern lifestyle habits on musculoskeletal bones – staying in a position for a long time leads to shoulder soreness, cervical curvature and straightening, and over time, round shoulders hunchbacks, rich bags, muscle stiffness and pain ensued.
Although massage can relieve local and superficial fatigue to some extent, the relief of muscles is limited.
If the human body is a house, the shoulders and necks are like the beams of the house, supporting each bracket of the house. Therefore, protecting the shoulders and neck in optimal condition is of great significance to health.
The following three actions have a certain effect on relieving muscle fatigue, and I hope that everyone will stick to the practice.
▌▌ Shoulder loop
Spread your legs apart, your arms flat, your five fingers together
The arms are looped along the shoulder joints on both sides of the body, and the amplitude of movement gradually increases from small to large, first in the forward and then in the opposite direction, backward around the ring.
▌▌ Flexed arm shoulder loop
Legs apart, arms bent, five fingers together, fingertips on the shoulders.
Along the shoulder joint, the amplitude of action gradually increases from small to large, first in the forward direction, and then in the opposite direction, backward around the ring.
▌▌ Shoulder lifting, falling
When you are ready for the position, lift your shoulders and elbows, put your hands behind your neck, and then slowly fall after contact.
The above three movements can strengthen our deltoid and trapezius muscles, increase the flexibility of the shoulder joints, and improve the flexibility of the upper limbs.
It is recommended that the above three movements be practiced in three groups of eight times a day, from easy to difficult, step by step. There are many more movements to relieve the fatigue of the upper limb muscles, choose a sport that you can stick to, and stick to the practice.
Notes:
If the arm is lifted and lowered or wrapped around the ring, the sound of "clicking" appears inside, most of which is related to long-term inactivity, generally do not worry, but if there is other discomfort, you need to seek medical treatment.
In short, foot massage for alleviating the pain of modern people is limited, in order to really get away from neck, shoulder and back pain, you need to develop a correct lifestyle, reduce sedentary, insist on exercise, pay attention to the combination of aerobic exercise, strength training and flexibility.
