There are generally two reasons for a child's hunchback. First, the child's usual posture is incorrect, which will lead to spinal deformation after a long time; Second, children may lack trace elements. There are many organic components in the bones of teenagers, so the bones have good toughness and plasticity. If you don't pay attention to the posture of sitting and walking, the skeleton is easily deformed. The skeleton is the support of the human body, and the spine is the central axis, which is formed by overlapping and connecting more than 30 vertebrae according to laws. Normally, it has four physiological bends. Cervical lordosis, thoracic lordosis, lumbar lordosis, and sacrococcygeal lordosis, resulting in excessive lordosis of the spine, which is a hunchback.

corrective measure

The main methods to correct hunchback are strengthening back muscles, straightening trunk and expanding chest.

1. Sit in an armchair, grasp the chair surface on both sides behind the hip with both hands, hold your head up and chest out, and stretch your shoulders back, every time 10 ~ 15 minutes, 3 ~ 4 times a day.

2, back against the wall, about 30 cm away from the wall, feet shoulder width apart, arms up and back, and then look up, touch the wall to restore, repeat 10 times, 2 ~ 3 times a day. Keep your arms straight naturally, palms up and shoulders back, so keep lying on your back for more than 5 minutes, 2 ~ 3 times a day.

Matters needing attention

① Pay attention to the correct posture of the body. Under normal circumstances, no matter whether the child walks or stands, the chest should be straight and the shoulders should naturally stretch backwards. Sit up straight on your spine. Don't bow your head too much when reading and writing, and don't lie prone on the table. People say that "standing like a pine and sitting like a bell" has some truth.

Developing children had better sleep on a hard bed to keep their spine straight during sleep. ③ Strengthen physical exercise. Do physical education class and recess exercises seriously, promote the development of muscle strength, and do corrective gymnastics on the basis of comprehensive exercise.
