How to prevent hunchback in children?

Childhood is a critical period of growth and development. Any habits developed during this period will have lifelong effects on the person. Some children do not have the correct sitting posture when they are young, which gradually leads to hunchback. By the time they grow up, it is already very serious and difficult to correct. How can we prevent hunchback in children? Let’s take a look together below.

1: Hands on the wall to press the chest and waist exercise

Stand one step away from the wall, raise your arms, hold the wall, lean your upper body forward as much as possible, straighten your chest and bend your waist, but do not move your feet forward, keep your chest against the wall, hold for 4 beats and then return to the starting position. This exercise should be practiced regularly so that children can gradually develop a posture with their chests and backs straightened.

2: Arm grip and chest and waist training

Stand with your back facing the wall, one step away from the wall. Rotate your arms inward and then raise them to grip the bar. Then raise your head and chest as high as possible. Bring your arms inward and close together as much as possible and keep your legs straight. Hold for 4 beats and then return to the starting position. Do this 6 to 8 times, paying attention to breathing naturally.

3. Hands behind the back and chest out exercise

Stand with your legs apart, cross your fingers and clench your hands behind your body, then lock your shoulder blades behind your back, raise your arms as high as possible, straighten your chest and waist, and then return to the original position. 1 move for 2 beats, do 16 times.

4. Sit with your back straight

Tie an object (not too hard), such as a small ball, to the back of the chair. Sit on chair L with your buttocks as close to the inside as possible and your back against the object. Hold the back of the chair with both hands, then tuck your arms in as much as possible and keep your head up and chest out. Complete one repetition in 4 beats, and do 6 to 8 times.

Hunchbacks in children can cause serious deformities of the spine, which has a great impact on the entire respiratory and nervous systems. However, children are not aware of this and usually do not pay attention to it. This requires parents to urge their children more often, set a good example in front of their children, and accompany their children to do correction and prevention together.
