One morning, Li Hua woke up feeling dizzy and weak, and he touched his back worriedly, and it was the old problem again - back pain.
He knew he had to go to the doctor today.
Li Hua is an ordinary postman, who always rides his small electric car on weekdays to deliver letters rain or shine.
In the hospital
He met Dr. Zhao, a doctor known for his funny.
Doctor Zhao looked at Li Hua: "Your waist, it is estimated that you sit for too long, move less, and have a lot of pressure, and there will be problems after a long time." ”
Li Hua smiled bitterly: "Doctor Zhao, you can really see it, but I'm not immobile, I still send so many letters every day." ”
Dr. Zhao teased him: "You moved, but did you move right? ”
He began to tell a unique perspective on back pain.
"Did you know that many people think that standing or sitting for long periods of time is the main cause of lower back pain, but in reality, how you stand and sit is more important?
Studies have shown that proper posture can reduce pressure on the lower back.
Therefore, '1 don't do' means not to maintain one posture for a long time, and '2 do more' means to change postures more, do more waist stretches and strengthen Xi. ”
Li Hua asked curiously, "Then what should I do?"
"For example, when you're working standing up, try to stand on your legs every once in a while, or twist your waist slightly," says Dr. Zhao.
When sitting, try to keep your back straight and your feet flat on the floor.
Also, don't forget to get up every hour and do stretching exercises. ”
Stress reduction is important
Li Hua nodded in understanding. Dr. Zhao continued, "Emotions are also a factor that cannot be ignored.
Tension and stress can make your muscles tense, especially in your lower back and shoulders.
Therefore, it is important to learn to relax and find a way to decompress that works for you. ”
He also told the story of another patient who was able to alleviate his lower back pain by changing his work posture and taking regular breaks and relaxation.
This story gave Li Hua a lot of inspiration.
After a detailed exchange, Li Hua understood that back pain is not an insurmountable problem.
He thanked Dr. Zhao for his advice and decided to try these methods.
A few months later, Li Hua's condition improved significantly.
He came to the hospital again and excitedly said to Dr. Zhao, "Dr. Zhao, my back doesn't hurt much! I now do stretching exercises every day, and I also pay attention to my posture when I work." ”
Dr. Zhao nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question:
"Speaking of which, do you know why changing positions can help with lower back pain?"
Li Hua shook his head, indicating that he was not clear.
Dr. Zhao explains, "Actually, when you change positions, your muscles and bones are subtly adjusting, which helps to disperse and reduce pressure in a single area.
If you stay in the same position for a long time, the pressure will concentrate on your lower back, leading to pain.
So, changing positions frequently is like giving your body a little massage. ”
After listening to Dr. Zhao's explanation, Li Hua suddenly realized.
He realized that some small Xi actually have a great impact on the body.
He thanked Dr. Zhao gratefully and decided that he would pay more attention to his body in the future.
This story not only benefits Li Hua, but also hopes to help more people like him who suffer from low back pain due to improper work Xi.
With simple lifestyle adjustments and attention to our bodies, we can all live a healthy life away from low back pain.
