Hitting a tree is a kind of collision movement, which has certain stimulation to the muscles and bones of the back. If the method is proper, hitting the tree with the back to stimulate the meridians can mobilize the whole body's defense and disease-resistant mechanism, promote blood circulation and relieve pain in some parts of the body. But for the elderly, the "tree-hitting" movement is risky.
With the increase of age, the bone mass of the elderly decreases, and some even have osteoporosis. Some elderly people also have problems such as muscle atrophy and decreased exercise ability, and their ability to control body balance and strength has also declined. When doing the "tree-bumping" movement, if the action is incorrect, the impact force is too large and the protection is insufficient, it may cause physical injury, ranging from skin injury to visceral injury.
Extended data
Improper methods when hitting trees can easily lead to sudden imbalance of qi and blood. It is scientific to hit a tree for fitness. By hitting trees and tapping back acupoints, you can strengthen your body, dredge meridians and regulate viscera. This method is very similar to the massage method of tapping points in traditional Chinese medicine.
Although it is convenient to hit a tree for fitness, it should not be too casual. It is best for the public to know the acupuncture points on the back first. Also pay attention to choose a smooth trunk, and it is best to wrap cotton cloth on the tree to avoid excessive stimulation and discomfort to acupuncture points. In addition, the intensity and time of the impact should be gradual according to their own situation.
It is unscientific for some citizens to hit a tree for 20 to 30 minutes for the first time. It is suggested that the initial impact will take one or two minutes, and after a period of time, the time can be extended to about twenty minutes. The better effect is to have a red back fever. Once you feel pain, you should stop immediately.
If you hit the tree too hard or for too long, it may cause congestion or qi and blood imbalance, which is harmful to your health. This exercise method is not recommended for patients with heart disease, cervical spondylosis, mental illness or fasting.
