What should I do if my five-year-old child has a hunchback?

How to correct children's hunchback has become a headache for many parents. Children aged 5-12 are most likely to have hunchbacks. You must pay more attention to your children during this period, which is also the peak period of hunchbacks. Children gradually enter elementary school. Whether they are reading, writing, or sleeping, they will form incorrect sitting postures. So what should we do if a 5-year-old child has a little hunchback? Can anyone introduce it to us?

How to Correct a Hunchback

Children aged 5 to 12 are most likely to have hunchbacks. Paying attention during this period can effectively prevent hunchbacks. By the time they reach high school, it will be difficult for children to correct the habit. Therefore, if there are symptoms of postural hunchback, they should be corrected as soon as possible.

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.

Since the child is in the developmental stage, what should we do if a 5-year-old child has a hunchback? Parents should first relax, let the child maintain a good posture when reading and writing, do more exercises during class breaks to effectively exercise the child's muscle development, give the child calcium supplements to allow the bones to take shape as soon as possible, do not let the child overwork, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
