Which 4 types of people are not suitable for yoga?

　　Yoga has always been the preferred form of exercise for white-collar workers. However, medical experts believe that not everyone is suitable for practicing yoga. For people with cervical and lumbar spondylosis, excessive stretching and bending yoga movements can easily cause the vertebrae to oversqueeze the intervertebral discs, damage the intervertebral discs, cause intervertebral disc herniation, or make the original herniated intervertebral discs more prominent, thus aggravating the condition.

　　Why do so many people get spinal injuries from practicing yoga?

　　“exist clinical I met many patients with cervical and lumbar spondylosis caused by practicing yoga. ”Medical experts said, “An important reason is that many white-collar workers often seek results urgently when they go to the gym and cannot do it step by step and persevere. When you are interested, practice vigorously. When you are not interested, you can fish for three days and dry the net for two days. Especially if you show off your talents without permission and practice some difficult movements through comparison, it is indeed easy to cause spinal injury. ”

　　Another reason is that in order to make money, many fitness centers allow students to participate in classes regardless of whether they are suitable for practicing yoga or not, as long as they pay money, so that people who cannot practice yoga also start to pursue yoga. Moreover, most yoga instructors have no medical foundation and know nothing about human anatomy, but in order to pursue "quick results", students are injured. According to reports, a 40-year-old Ms. Lin in Wuxi paid more than 10,000 yuan to learn yoga. After practicing shoulder and elbow handstands, she suffered a cervical spine fracture and intervertebral disc herniation.

　　Who is not suitable for practicing yoga?

　　Yoga originated in India, where many people started practicing it since childhood. Child The sub is very flexible and not easily injured. Most of the people in our country start practicing as adults who have become monks halfway. Their ligaments and bones have aged to a certain extent, and if they practice improperly, injuries are inevitable! Doctors believe that the following four categories of people are not suitable for practicing yoga.

　　First, after entering middle age, ligaments and joints degenerate and muscles become stiffer. Forcibly practicing difficult yoga movements without strong muscle protection and support is undoubtedly a huge "challenge" to the already fragile cervical spine and spine, which can easily lead to muscle strain and vertebral body dislocation. Unless you have been practicing yoga since childhood and have good body flexibility.

　　Second, patients who already have osteoporosis, especially those with more severe osteoporosis female . As bone hardness decreases and fragility increases, compression fractures or vertebral body rupture may occur if you are not careful when practicing yoga.

　　Third, patients with cervical and lumbar spondylosis. If you practice certain yoga movements, such as the plow pose, it is easy to cause disc herniation or make the original condition more serious.

　　Fourth, cardiovascular disease or obese patients. If the movements are strenuous, such as doing handstands, it is likely to increase the load on the heart and cause discomfort. 　Don’t blindly follow the four dangerous yoga moves

　　Yoga is a good exercise for relaxing the body and mind. For the spine, moderate yoga practice can relax and stretch the muscles, enhance the toughness of the muscles and ligaments, thereby stabilizing the spine and joints. In this sense, yoga has a certain spine-protecting effect.

　　It is worth pointing out that there are a large number of yoga postures that bend the spine forward and backward. If these bends exceed a certain degree, the vertebrae will excessively squeeze the intervertebral discs, damaging the intervertebral discs, causing accelerated degeneration or even herniation of the intervertebral discs. Shen Tong said that not everyone is suitable for practicing yoga, especially "rookies" who have never been exposed to yoga and some middle-aged people. elderly , when you start practicing, a little carelessness may cause damage to the spine and aggravate cervical and lumbar spine diseases.
