Flying a kite: a good way to relax muscles and bones.
When flying a kite, people will unconsciously hold their heads high and look around. Therefore, flying kites often can increase the volume of muscle fibers around the cervical spine, maintain the elasticity of ligaments and the flexibility of cervical joints, enhance the compensatory ability of cervical spine and spine, and prevent the degeneration of vertebrae and ligaments without damaging the vertebral body. In addition, flying kites in sunny and fresh nature can enhance heart and lung function. When flying a kite, people run, stop, sit or stand, and all the bones and muscles are involved, so it can promote metabolism and delay the aging of tissues and organs.
It is particularly important to point out that people with insufficient blood supply to vertebral artery should try to avoid turning their heads suddenly when participating in this sport to prevent sudden contraction of cerebral vessels. At the same time, people should adjust the length of exercise time according to their physical condition. Moreover, athletes with respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases are not suitable for flying kites in noisy venues for a long time.
Taiji: the slow motion of harmony between man and nature
Tai Ji Chuan is a necessary exercise for people who are concerned about cervical health. Because Tai Ji Chuan attaches great importance to the coordination of hands, eyes, head, neck and limbs in standing posture and movements, regular practice of Tai Ji Chuan not only exercises the flexibility of limbs, but also keeps the spine (including cervical vertebrae) active, which helps to keep the flexibility and health of bones and joint systems, prevent bone degeneration and joint stiffness, and even gradually restore the elasticity of damaged spine, tendons and ligaments.
Tai Ji Chuan's movements are mostly slow and comfortable. When practicing boxing, he needs to straighten his waist, close his chin, straighten his back and hang his shoulders. These all have the effects of relaxing channels and activating collaterals, harmonizing qi and blood, nourishing viscera, and strengthening tendons and bones. Therefore, you can choose Chen Taijichuan, Yang Taijichuan or other schools to study and practice in your spare time according to your actual situation.
In addition, you can also refer to the following methods for exercise:
A. Stand upright naturally, feet apart, shoulder width apart, and arms naturally placed at the sides of the body;
B. Slowly move your arm forward, then lift it up (and take a deep breath at the same time), straighten your arm and palm forward;
C slowly move your arm down to your abdomen (exhale at the same time, being careful not to bend your arm). When you reach shoulder height, start squatting with your legs and push your arms forward again.

Instructions for high-risk groups of cervical spondylosis
? Swan beauty? Trouble
Some girls are tall and beautiful with long necks. As everyone knows, such girls are prone to neck diseases. Although their necks are slender and beautiful, they need to pay the price for this beauty.
Unlike office white-collar workers who work at their desks for a long time, these girls often have neck pain and midline pain. What's wrong with this group of people? The slender neck is stressed too much because of the lever, and the muscles of these girls are relatively weak, so they often unconsciously take a posture, that is, they often bow their heads too much and hand over most of the weight of their heads to the ligaments behind the cervical vertebrae. We call it interspinous ligament and supraspinous ligament. Over time, these ligaments will be strained. There is really no good way to solve this problem, only long-term physical therapy. In addition, some high-level acupuncturists will have some good treatments, you can try them. I suggest that if girls belong to the category with long necks, it is best to try to avoid working long hours and often do some exercise.
In addition, such people can often practice neck muscle exercises to relieve neck discomfort.
Car owners should be alert to neck injuries.
Nowadays, there are more and more car owners in the city, and driving can easily lead to neck disease. Let me start with an impressive case. The patient is a woman in her thirties. She works in a government agency and belongs to a middle-level leading cadre. When she went out to check her work, she had a little accident on the road ―― a car rear-ended. She was taken to the hospital after the rear-end collision. There was nothing wrong, and the doctor didn't say anything. However, the patient's neck was very painful, and he didn't recover after seeing it for half a year. The doctor said it's all right. It may be soft tissue injury. You'll be fine after a rest. But the pain lasted for a long time without getting better. She felt very depressed.
Later, she came to see me. I saw it and told her that this situation was called? Whip wound? When your car is hit from behind by another car, your body is protected by a seat belt, but your head is like a whip thrown out. Dad? It was thrown to the front. Because the neck is in a very relaxed state at this time, this huge throwing force suddenly acts on the cervical ligament, and the ligament can't bear such a big force, so it is strained. More seriously, the intervertebral disc between the two vertebral bodies will also be strained.
Here's another anecdote. I read in the media that there are many insurance fraudsters in the United States who will seek compensation from insurance companies in the event of a car accident. What is the reason? Whip wound? . So once the insurance company sets a trap, They got a bus, parked on the side of the road, pretended to be the scene of the accident, but secretly installed a camera. Later, many passers-by saw it and went up and sat in the car. After a while, a disguised traffic policeman will come and ask about the situation. These people all said that the car was hit just now, and then they felt a pain in their necks. In the United States, it is the common sense of ordinary people that a car accident will lead to? Whip wound? , causing neck pain. This kind of injury is often misdiagnosed, because the bones look good when filming, and there is nothing wrong in other places, so many people may still think that you are pretending to be sick and very wronged.
What should such a patient do? My suggestion is to exercise the back and neck muscles, which can be cured. Some friends have similar experiences. One is very painful, and the other is not understood by others. I think it's a car accident. Actually, it's not. It does cause injuries and can be cured by exercise training.
