What to do if a 12-year-old child has a hunchback? How to correct it

Hunchback is not a trivial matter for growing teenagers, and many parents also take it seriously and are troubled by it. When a child has a slight hunchback, is restless, has difficulty concentrating, is hyperactive, and has a loss of appetite, it means that there may be a problem with the spine. If it is not corrected and treated in time, it will lead to hunchback over time. So how do we correct it in our daily lives?

1. Pay attention to correct body posture. Whether you are standing or walking, keep your chest straight and your arms and legs stretched back naturally. Sit with your spine straight. Don't lower your head too much when reading or writing, and don't lie on the table. There is some truth to what people say about “standing like a pine tree and sitting like a bell”.

2. It is best for growing teenagers to sleep on a hard bed without a mattress that is too high so that the spine can remain straight during sleep.

3. Strengthen physical exercise. Take physical education classes seriously, do exercises during breaks, and promote the development of muscle strength.

4. Do corrective gymnastics on the basis of comprehensive exercise. Back muscle exercises, especially back extension exercises, can help slow down the progression of hunchback.

5. Every morning and evening, lie on the bed with your shoulders on the edge, lying on your back with your head hanging in the air, and use your hands to touch the ground backwards (pay attention to safety). You can also do this during the day when you are resting. Things will improve slowly.

6. Understand the essentials of fighting posture. You can use the ballet body training method, with your heels together and your feet open 180 degrees to form a "one". The easiest way to correct a hunchback is to stand with your back against a wall, which is a daily training method for fashion models. In short, as long as the center of gravity is on the heel, the hunchback can be corrected. You can also raise your front foot, for example, by putting your foot on a book (more than 20 mm thick). By practicing this standing posture frequently, you can gradually correct your hunchback.

7. Use body correction shoes. Body correction shoes are also called body training shoes. This type of shoe is higher in the front and lower in the back. It is the same as the method of raising the front foot to correct hunchback mentioned above. It is also the same as the principle of walking backwards to correct hunchback. The only difference is that this method is simpler, more lifelike and more regular, making it easier to stick to it for a long time. Such shoes are very common abroad. They are called "earth shoes" in Europe and the United States and "slimming and fitness shoes" in Hong Kong. Body training shoes are basically the same as ordinary shoes in appearance and can be used as daily shoes.
