What are the causes of hunchback in children?

Children's physical development is the issue that parents are most concerned about, especially bone development, which parents pay special attention to. However, some children still have problems with bone development, such as hunchback, which is a relatively common phenomenon. So what are the causes of hunchback in children? I think this is a question that many parents want to know. We can prevent hunchbacks in children. So, finding the cause allows you to take preventive measures. Hunchback will affect a child's health throughout his life, so we parents must pay special attention to it.

There are many reasons that affect children's hunchbacks. Various bad postures not only destroy people's self-confidence, but also pose a threat to their physical health. In fact, each person's posture, bone structure and lifestyle will cause different conditions of hunchback and the way to correct them. Here we only discuss one factor, rock climbing.

The pectoral muscles are weaker, and in order to stretch to match the contraction of the pectoral muscles, the muscle fibers become thinner and longer. Over time, this movement style with the shoulders pulled inward and the chest muscles contracted is one of the reasons for the hunchback shape. In order to have a straight back, the back muscles need to be contracted, and it is precisely the teres major and minor muscles that seem strong in rock climbers that are relied upon. This makes one wonder, why are the seemingly stronger teres major and teres minor muscles unable to contract? On the other hand, if the pectoral muscles are really stronger, why do they appear underdeveloped? Isn't this a contradiction? This is precisely because of the problem of force application pattern.

Muscles adjust the way they exert force to suit the body's movement. That is to say, when the body needs to exert force in a certain posture, the muscles will be particularly strong in that particular state. When rock climbing, the movements are mostly about contracting the chest and pushing the shoulders forward. The chest muscles become particularly strong when the body is arched backward. When you pull your body close to the rock wall or do a locking motion while rock climbing, your teres major and minor muscles also contract strongly. You can even clearly see the distinct back muscle lines of other climbers.

The above are the reasons for children's hunchbacks. We know that there are many reasons, such as frequent standing or sitting postures. Not having the correct standing or sitting posture can lead to hunchback. Especially for some school children, they often have to sit in the classroom to study and do homework after school. Therefore, they often have the habit of sitting. If it is not correct, it will result in hunchback.
