Arya If you really want to choose a place to correct your posture, the core depends on your problem and its severity. For minor problems caused by daily bad habits, it is enough to go to a qualified sports rehabilitation studio. If you have pain or pathological changes, go to a public tertiary rehabilitation department first. For severe skeletal deformities, go directly to a spine specialist. Don’t choose to be a trap.
I helped my sister find a correctional place a while ago. She was a boarding school student in high school and she was doing homework every day. Her shoulders were a little uneven and she had a slight scoliosis. The X-ray showed it was only 12 degrees. The doctor said she didn’t need to wear a brace and could just go back and practice on her own. She practiced online for half a month and said her shoulders were more sore. I found her a sports rehabilitation studio that has been open in our local area for five or six years. The coach is a graduate of Beijing Sports Rehabilitation. We tested her bilateral muscle strength difference and recorded her walking gait analysis, only to find that she carries her schoolbag on her left side all year round, and is used to using her left leg to exert more force when walking, which is equivalent to the muscle on one side pulling her shoulder to a crooked position for a long time. After adjusting the force generation mode, I also taught her several stretching exercises that she can do before going to bed in the dormitory. I went there twice a week. In two months, the high and low shoulders were basically invisible. The degree of side curvature dropped by 2 degrees during the last review.
But don’t think that all rehabilitation studios are reliable. I met a colleague before who wanted to correct his rounded shoulders, so I found a studio that just opened downstairs. The coach came up and said that his pelvis was also crooked and his legs were long and short. He paid 30,000 yuan for a private training package. After three weeks of training, he was in pain and couldn’t lift his arms. I went to the hospital to find out that it was acromion impingement. It turned out that the coach didn’t even understand basic anatomy knowledge and blindly added weight to him to train his shoulders. Nowadays, industry barriers are indeed uneven, and many people on the Internet complain that "rehabilitation coaches are all IQ tax". In fact, it is not that there is a problem with this profession, but that there are too many bastards. When choosing, don't believe in the gimmicks that can cure everything. Look at the coach's qualifications first. Whether he has NSCA rehabilitation certification and a domestic sports rehabilitation professional academic background are hard indicators. It is best to do an evaluation first. If he sells classes directly without even asking whether you have taken a film or whether you have old injuries, you will just walk away.
If you already have obvious pain symptoms, such as low back pain after sitting for a long time, pain in the neck when you lift your head, or even numbness in your hands and feet sometimes, or if a scoliosis has been found to be more than 20 degrees, lumbar disc herniation, pelvic rotation and discomfort, etc., don’t go to a studio first, go directly to a public rehabilitation department. , the doctor will first check whether you have organic problems. If necessary, he will provide you with physical therapy and manual relaxation, and then teach you the corresponding rehabilitation movements. The safety factor is much higher, and the fees are much more transparent than the studio. The only disadvantage may be that it is difficult to get an appointment, you have to queue up for each treatment, and the time is not as flexible as the studio.
If the scoliosis in adolescents is more than 40 degrees in the advanced stage, or there is obvious skeletal deformity that affects normal life, don't worry about correcting it with massage and training. Go directly to an orthopedic spine specialist and let the doctor evaluate whether to wear a brace or have surgery. This level of problem cannot be reversed by external muscle release, so don't waste time on treatment by looking for folk remedies.
Speaking of posture correction, it's actually similar to adjusting a bicycle wheel. If the spokes are just inconsistent and wobbly, just find a knowledgeable spoke adjuster and pay attention to your riding habits. If the rim is deformed, you have to find a master to repair the rim first. Adjusting the spokes blindly will only destroy the wheel. The same principle applies to choosing the place for correction. You must first understand where your problem is, and then choose the corresponding place, which will save you a lot of pitfalls.
