What should I do if my 14-year-old child has a hunchback?

The peak period of adolescent hunchback is from 9 to 15 years old. Generally, during this period, children are under too much study pressure. It is the tense time for elementary school students to enter junior high school. Children are exhausted from piles of homework and even have to carry heavy schoolbags to and from school every day. Over time, the spine is compressed and bent, which leads to hunchback. It is not only unsightly, but also the heart cannot breathe and the lung function is compressed. What should we do for children with hunchback at the age of 14? How to correct it?

Adolescent kyphosis, that is, the habitual spinal curvature of adolescents, is divided into scoliosis (curvature to the left and right) and kyphosis. Spinal curvature not only affects the body shape and fitness, but also squeezes the cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and visceral nerves related to the brain and spinal cord, causing neurological disorders, leading to memory loss, slow reaction, and low IQ in adolescents. It can be said that hunchback, like myopia, is a major public hazard that endangers the healthy growth of young people. If teenagers find that they have a "hunchback" phenomenon, in addition to strengthening general physical exercise, they can also use the following methods to correct it.

1. Push-up method. Touch the ground with both hands and feet at the same time, and support your head, neck and body. When practicing, bend your elbows and push your arms, keeping your body straight and moving up and down without touching the ground, repeat 15 to 30 times.

2. Anti-support legislation. It is also known as the "scorpion climbing the wall upside down method" among the people. First stand facing the wall about 1 meter away, then place your hands on the ground 30 to 50 centimeters away from the wall with shoulder width, and straighten your legs and flip them backwards over the wall, with your feet on top and your head on the bottom, forming an inverted arch shape. It is best to persist for 1 to 2 minutes each time.

3. Standing against the wall. Bring your heels together and align them, squeeze your legs together, push your knees back with a little force, tighten your hip muscles, slightly pull in your abdomen, naturally lift your chest, keep your shoulders level and slightly stretched back, let your arms hang naturally against the sides of your body, straighten your neck against the collar, slightly retract your chin, and push your head up. When practicing, keep your heels, calves, buttocks, shoulders and the back of your head close to the wall. You can stand against the wall 1-2 times a day, each time for no less than 30 minutes.

4. Lean back and swing your arms. Sit upright on a chair, stretch your arms out and raise them from the front to the back while tilting your head back. Or stretch your arms out and raise them horizontally on both sides of your body, moving from front to back while tilting your head back. 10 to 20 minutes each time.

5. Lateral arm swing. Sit upright or stand with legs apart, raise your hands straight to the sides of your head with your palms facing each other, and use appropriate force to swing the body above the waist back and forth left and right. Repeat 30 to 40 times.

6. Horizontal bar suspension method. Stand under a horizontal bar about 2.5 meters high, grab the bar with your hands shoulder-width apart, straighten your body naturally and hang it in the air, then swing it up and down slightly. 1 to 2 minutes each time is appropriate.
