How to correct children's hunchbacks? Parents need to pay attention

If a child has a hunchback, parents should promptly learn some methods to correct the hunchback and help the child have the correct posture, especially when walking, with the head held high and the chest out. Let the child exercise more, sleep on a harder bed, and do not let the child's schoolbag be too heavy.

1. How to correct a child's hunchback

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.

2. Backpacks are the culprit for hunchbacks among teenagers

Nowadays, more and more students go to the hospital for hunched back and hunchback. The reason for this phenomenon is not malnutrition, lack of calcium and vitamin D as generally believed, but the backpacks that students carry every day. Students have been using an abnormal posture to overcome and bear the weight for a long time, which causes back bending. In fact, backpacks became popular to solve the problem of "sloping shoulders". Before this, most students carried a single-shoulder bag, using one shoulder to bear all the weight. Carrying a heavy shoulder bag for a long time can easily cause the two shoulders to gradually become uneven, with one shoulder leaning towards the other, which is called "occlusal shoulder syndrome." At that time, society's concern about "cross shoulder syndrome" called for a backpack that could bear the weight of both shoulders at the same time, and the backpack thus came into being. But now, the problem of carrying a backpack has become prominent. Because the backpacks the students carried were too heavy, they had to bend over to carry them. It is estimated that the school bag of an average middle school student weighs about 10 kilograms, including 6 main course textbooks and a large number of corresponding exercise books, supplementary course textbooks and various exercise books, pencil cases, etc. A middle school student, especially a junior high school student, who carries such weight around every day is undoubtedly overweight.
