Can swimming cure cervical spondylosis?
Experts recommend this style of swimming
Speaking of cervical spondylosis, everyone must have a deep feeling, and involuntarily issued a "right right, right, I also have cervical spondylosis" sigh. Modern social computer office, mobile phone entertainment, everyone is a "low head family", long-term bow head is not friendly to the cervical spine, long-term past the forward flexion of the cervical spine will increase, the tension of the muscles in the back of the neck will increase significantly, which leads to fatigue (strain) and even damage to the back of the neck muscles, soft tissues, and even damage, muscle strength declines, thereby accelerating the transformation and aging of the cervical intervertebral discs, cervical spondylosis will come to the door.
"We all tell cervical spondylosis patients to look up more." Speaking of looking up, Jin Yongming, chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, strongly recommends swimming, "among which breaststroke is especially suitable for patients with cervical spondylosis, and this exercise can alleviate cervical spondylosis." ”
Why does breaststroke alleviate cervical spondylosis? People who can swim know that breaststroke is to imitate the swimming action of frogs, people lie prone on the surface of the water, two arms in front of the chest symmetrical paddling, two legs symmetrical flexion and extension of the pedal to catch the water, bow down and exhale rowing, inhale the head and neck to look up out of the water, just because the breaststroke ventilation action is always in a low and one back, it is the requirements of the functional exercise of cervical spondylosis patients, and when swimming can fully move the cervical vertebral joints, can effectively promote the repair of the cervical strain muscles and ligaments.
However, it should be noted that although breaststroke can alleviate cervical spondylosis, if the cervical spondylosis is particularly serious, such as cervical spondylosis that compresses the nerves, breaststroke cannot cure "Ben", and Chief Physician Jin Yongming suggested that this group of people go to regular hospitals for further treatment.
Arthritis, synovitis
Experts recommend freestyle
Fitness, outdoor sports has now become a healthy lifestyle sought after by the elderly, keen on sports is a good thing, but many people over-exercise or improper exercise, the first to bear the brunt of the injury is the knee, because the knee is the most important "axis" to drive human walking and movement.
"A lot of people are young and their knees are not good." Cai Youzhi, deputy chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics of Zhejiang University, said that long-distance running, long-term mountain climbing, strenuous balls and other sports are not beneficial to the joints, many NBA stars due to long-term high-intensity exercise, knee joints will have certain damage, national volleyball coach Lang Ping is also because of the perennial athlete career caused patella wear, "but swimming this sport has few damage to the joints, especially the lower limb joints." ”
Deputy Chief Physician Cai Youzhi explained that due to the buoyancy of the water during swimming, people are in a non-weight-bearing state, especially the weight of the knee joint during the loss of people's own weight during exercise.
If the knee has arthritis, synovitis patients can try freestyle, which can relieve or even treat such diseases. Because when swimming freestyle, our legs are no longer symmetrical flexion and extension of the water, but there is rhythm and frequency of the legs straightening the water, the main force of the water is on the thighs, the thighs are mainly dependent on our quadriceps, the quadriceps muscle is located in front of the thigh muscles, which is one of the largest and most advantageous muscles in our human body.
"Freestyle can not only exercise the quadriceps muscles of the thighs, but also the calf muscles." Cai Youzhi, deputy chief physician, said that if our quadriceps and calf muscles are more favorablely exercised, the knee joint wear in daily exercise will be much smaller, and the quadriceps muscle is like a clockwork that connects the "axis" of the knee, if the clockwork has strength, it can drive the "axis" movement, compared to other clockwork weakness, people who rely on the "axis" to move independently have a lot less joint wear and pressure.
"Even if you don't swim, it's good to stand in the pool and walk." Because the water has buoyancy, it can reduce the person's own weight and is friendly to the knees. On the contrary, people walking upright in the pool creates resistance, if you need to walk forward, you need to rely on the quadriceps muscle weakness of the thigh, and you can also exercise the muscle "clockwork" that drives the "axis" of the knee. At the same time, experts also suggest that obese people can choose to swim for weight loss because there is no damage to the knee joint.
Attention
This type of person is more suitable for this action
Although swimming is very good, experts still advise such people not to swim, because swimming is not suitable for people with acute lumbar muscle strain, because swimming, whether it is breaststroke or freestyle, especially the difficult butterfly, needs to use waist power. "Acute psoas muscle strain is recommended for lumbar protection and rest, and after the acute period, it is more appropriate to consider 'swallow flying'."
"Swallow fly" can strengthen the core muscle group of the lower back, play a protective and stable role in the degenerating lumbar spine, and slow down the degeneration process of the lumbar spine.
Professor Hu Yiguo, director of the Department of Orthopedics and an orthopedic joint expert at the First Hospital of Zhejiang University, said that to protect the knee joint from injury, it is usually necessary to do less long-term squatting and kneeling. If you feel unwell during exercise, stop immediately, don't force it, because pain is the best warning for the body to give us to rest, slow down or change the sport.
