In today's fast-paced life, cervical spondylosis seems to have become the "standard" for many people. Recently, I saw a news: swimming can actually relieve cervical spondylosis! This is really a new and interesting thing, and as a low-headed person, I naturally want to explore it carefully.
It is not difficult to understand that swimming can effectively promote blood circulation in the muscles of the whole body. When we swim in the water, all parts of the body move in unison, and blood flows happily throughout the body. And for those who are deeply troubled by cervical spondylosis, this is undoubtedly good news.
In particular, breaststroke has a special "magic" for the cervical spine due to its breathing action. With each ventilation, the head is raised and lowered as if it were a gentle restorative massage of the strained muscles and ligaments around the neck. It's like a caring therapist, little by little, helping them to regain their vitality and elasticity.
Moreover, the action of paddling the upper limbs vigorously during swimming is not in vain. Not only does this allow us to move forward in the water, but it also works the corresponding muscle groups around the shoulder joint and in the back. Imagine that the muscles that are usually tense due to sitting for long periods of time or bowing your head for long periods of time are stretched and strengthened in the water.
For patients with cervical spondylosis in the early stage or convalescent period, as well as those suffering from dorsal myofasciitis, swimming is simply a tailor-made exercise. That's not to say everyone can jump into the pool as much as they want, though. Patients with severe cervical spondylosis still have to listen to the doctor's words obediently and carry out it under the professional guidance of the doctor, and cannot blindly follow the trend.
As a member of the low-headed group, I also went out of my way to find out how often and when to swim. 30 to 60 minutes 3 to 4 times a week for 3 months. It may not sound like a difficult thing to do, but it does take some perseverance and determination to really stick to it.
If we can make swimming a habit, not only can we relieve the pain caused by cervical spondylosis, but also enjoy the feeling of being free in the water, why not? Perhaps, we can meet some like-minded friends in the swimming pool, and everyone will exchange ideas while swimming, and the picture must be very interesting.
In short, swimming relieves cervical spondylosis, and I eat it with relish. I also hope that more people can understand this method and let health embrace us in the water.
