Your baby's back muscle tension is high, know the symptoms first

Parents of their babies are extremely concerned about their health. In recent years, high muscle tension in the baby's back is a very common disease, which has a great impact on the child's health. For this reason, parents must know more about the symptoms of high muscle tension in the baby's back, so that they can discover it as early as possible and treat it in time.

Increased muscle tone in the neck and back of infants is one of the early manifestations of abnormal posture and muscle tone caused by brain damage or brain development defects. If it can be discovered in time, it can not only effectively inhibit its development, but also remind us to pay attention to whether there are other abnormalities as the development progresses.

If a 1-2 month old baby's head often tilts back, and when being lifted from a supine position to a side-lying position the head tilts back more than 20°, and when being pulled to a sitting position the head tilts back more significantly, the baby often has increased tension in the neck and back muscles. When these children are supported in a prone position with elbows, they can lift their heads higher, and sometimes parents mistakenly believe that their children are able to lift their heads better. When they are held upright, their heads are generally unstable and they often lean backwards.

The main intervention methods are:

① Swinging in a suspended sheet: It can not only reduce increased muscle tension by stretching the neck and back muscles, but also enhance the child's balance function.

② Turn the hanging sheet inside out: In addition to the above functions, it can also promote the child to turn over.

③Head flexion stretching exercise: It can also reduce the increased tension in the neck and back muscles.

④ Support and fix the head to sit training: fix the wrong posture of not letting the head lean back, and train head control and sitting position. After the head control is good, remove the support and fixation, and only pull

Sit training.

⑤ Desensitization tapping on the back: first tap lightly through the clothes, then use warm hands to touch the skin and tap lightly.

⑥ Hold the child upright with the head of the child facing forward, and use one hand to support the head in the correct position; when the child is facing forward, use your chest to support the child's head and prevent it from tilting backward.

The above measures should be carried out several times a day, each time for about 5 minutes.
