The reason of Tai Chi knee pain is that Tai Chi is a disease-free exercise. More and more friends like Tai Chi. We all know that the knee is very important in Tai Ji Chuan. Many friends hurt their knees when playing Tai Chi. The following are the causes of knee pain in Tai Chi.
The reason of Tai Ji Chuan's knee pain is 1 1, and the joint activity is insufficient before practice.
Some people practice Tai Ji Chuan without doing warm-up exercises, but directly practice routines, hoping to practice boxing more in limited time. If you don't have enough activity, you start practicing boxing, and the muscle ligaments around your knee are still stiff. Inadvertent movements can cause a sprained knee joint, which will hurt in future practice.
2. Do not pay attention to rest and maintenance after practice.
Because Tai Ji Chuan's hips are relaxed and knees are bent, it requires a lot of leg strength. After a long period of practice, the leg muscles will be tense due to fatigue. At this point, after stopping practicing, we should pay attention to the relaxation of muscles. If you don't do enough rest activities, it will make the leg muscles stiff and lead to knee joint strain.
3. The boxing posture is too low.
The lower the Tai Ji Chuan posture, the greater the pressure on the knee joint, and more muscle fibers must be mobilized to participate in the work, so as to support the knee joint. Therefore, we say, for the purpose of fitness, it is best to practice Tai Ji Chuan's posture a little higher, don't squat too low, and try to avoid bearing on one foot. The load-bearing of both feet in an imaginary step can be divided into three parts, namely, three points on the front foot and seven points on the back foot.
4. The foot is not in the right position
Tai Ji Chuan has different requirements for feet. For example, Tai Ji Chuan of lunge and Yang requires that the front foot should be straight, that is, the toes should be forward and the back foot should be about 45 degrees to the left. Wu-style Tai Ji Chuan demanded the so-called "Sichuan word step", with two toes forward, and so did the imaginary step. If you do it wrong, it will cause knee joint injury.
5. It turns out that the pain is obvious after practicing boxing.
Some people have been injured in their knees, or they have arthritis due to rheumatism and cold. Because there is not much exercise at ordinary times and the pressure on the legs is not great, the performance is not obvious. However, when practicing Tai Ji Chuan in Guangzhou, due to relaxation and sinking, one leg supports the center of gravity, which leads to the overload of leg pressure, leading to arthritis and joint pain.
Reasons for tai chi 2's knee pain: First, his knees stand on tiptoe.
In Tai Ji Chuan's routine practice, that is, in the process of walking boxing, there are many essentials that practitioners need to master and skillfully apply to walking boxing.
For example, it is necessary to distinguish between virtual reality and knees rather than toes. Take Yang Tai's "Left Knee Jump" as an example. The left leg bends into a lunge and the right leg straightens (not forcibly, but slightly). It is required that the left knee and the left toe are on the same vertical line, that is, the toes can't be reached. At this time, the center of gravity is behind the left hip root, and the legs swing left and right.
If the practitioner does not pay attention, the left knee will lean forward beyond the toe, which will inevitably lead to the center of gravity moving forward and increase the stress on the knee and calf. If the body loses balance for a long time and the knee is stressed too much, resulting in knee pain, it can be avoided as long as the practitioner pays a little attention to this aspect.
Second, the knees and toes are not in the same direction.
On the one hand, the knee distortion caused by this aspect should not be underestimated. It can be said that more than 80% of Tai Ji Chuan practitioners have knee pain caused by this.
In the process of boxing, because the practitioner can't distinguish between reality and reality, the action conversion effect is not good, and it is often the waist and buttocks that drive the thighs and knees to rotate, but the calves and feet don't rotate in place in time, which leads to the direction of the toes and knees not reaching one, resulting in the distortion and pain of the knees.
For example, Yang Tai Ji Chuan's "chasing the monkey backwards" action, also called "rolling his arms backwards", is most likely to happen when he turns around at the waist, hips and knees, but his feet don't turn up in time, resulting in the toes and knees twisting in different directions.
Practitioners just feel that the movements are not smooth at first, and they will feel knee pain after practicing for a while. On the one hand, practitioners should not punch too fast, so they must distinguish between reality and reality, and strive to coordinate their movements, with toes in the same direction as knees.
Third, the pelvis leans forward
For female Tai Ji Chuan practitioners, this should be paid special attention to. Whether standing piles or boxing, if the pelvis leans forward, it will inevitably lead to the protrusion of the lower abdomen, resulting in hip drooping and lateral displacement development. If the pelvis leans forward, it will inevitably lead to lumbar curvature and incorrect posture, which will lead to back and shoulder pain over time.
At the same time, we all know that the six internal organs are supported by the pelvis. Imagine that the pelvis leans forward and the six zang-fu organs tilt, resulting in local compression, and then the qi and blood flow is not smooth. Therefore, Tai Ji Chuan practitioners will inevitably suffer from low back pain when standing on piles or boxing. In this regard, practitioners should adjust their posture, vertically stretch the spine, and avoid the harm of pelvic forward tilt.
