In the first part of this post, I described the causes of poor posture and the intervertebral disc problems that arise as a result. Now I'll describe how to avoid these problems. I'll do this step by step, depending on the cause of the problem.
If your back was fine before, but then it started to get worse because you changed your career (a prime example is someone who "got into" IT and started sitting and staring at the monitor more)—then you need to do two things:
a) Swimming (3 times a week; Correct! Float a lot on your back; No throwing your head back over the water, as girls usually do )
b) Do flobility exercises. I'll stop here and describe them in detail. This technique was developed by some guys from the States. I'll leave a link to their profile below the post. I'll say right away that they don't give me any kickbacks; I recommend them out of respect . In my opinion, unlike many pseudo-specialist trainers and realityologists, they are the only ones who have a good understanding of spinal biomechanics.
Of course, they train for money, even over Zoom, but if you're really feeling it, you can figure it out yourself using the materials on their Instagram profile. I figured it out in about a month.
Also, if you have the resources for a specialized gym, take a look at the Functional Patterns technique . It's a company run by a guy from Spain. He developed a method for proper exercises and decided to make a business out of it, but I'll say right away that his exercises require specialized equipment. I also approve of this method and consider it correct. I'll leave a link to them below the post.
If you have jaw problems, such as an overbite or missing teeth, be sure to have them addressed by a competent dentist. These problems always lead to posture problems, even if minor, but they can have repercussions in old age. For anyone in Kyiv who needs help, I can recommend excellent (but unfortunately expensive
) dentists who will provide a complete solution.
If you've been diagnosed with peripheral nervous system problems , it's more difficult to advise. However, I will say that, in addition to injuries, herpes viruses are a common problem. In some people, they don't manifest as a rash, as many doctors are accustomed to seeing , but instead present with pain and paresis.
If this is your case, you need to find a specialist who can prescribe Valavir and supplements that stimulate the Th1 immune response . For example, astragalus extract does this; I already wrote about it in my first post about COVID. And yes, it's NOT "some kind of Chinese homeopathy," as some "geniuses" have told me. It's an effective and effective drug against viral replication!
If you have metabolic problems, this is a broad topic, like the previous point. But again, I will say that such problems lead to impaired nutrition of bone and cartilage tissue, and this is usually:
a) Impaired secretion of growth hormone (our doctors are completely unable to diagnose this problem )
b) Low testosterone and high prolactin
c) Gout
d) Chronic vitamin D deficiency
d) Genetic problems
e) Inappropriate use of corticosteroids (hello to the idiots in the hospitals who treated COVID with them )
Some of these conditions can be treated with anabolic hormones, others with specialized medications like bisphosphonates; everything is highly individualized. I'll just point out that these issues shouldn't be ignored, otherwise, after age 40, your physical performance will decline significantly.
