Looking down at the mobile phone, I walked straight ahead without looking up, as if I had a pair of eyes on my head. With the popularization of science and technology, everything can be handled by mobile phones, and low-headed people have become a common phenomenon. Many people will have a sore neck when they slide their phones for a long time.
Dr. Zhong Peizhen from the Department of Rehabilitation of Tai 'an Hospital explained that there are seven cervical vertebrae from top to bottom. When you slide the phone with your head down, the downward force of your head will spread the cervical vertebrae, and the pressure will mainly be applied to the fifth, sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae, which will cause muscle pain and discomfort here for a long time.
Low-headed people should change their postures frequently to give the trapezius muscles a rest.
When you slide the mobile phone with your head down, you will use the trapezius muscle in the back of your head. The trapezius muscle extends from the lower edge of the skull at the back of your head to the muscles near the vertebrae in the medial and central parts of your shoulder blades, so as to keep these neck muscles working and keep your head looking at the screen hard to prevent it from falling off. When the duration exceeds the muscle load, there will be symptoms of soreness and muscle inflammation. Symptoms of chronic pain may have a chain reaction of emotional instability, difficulty in concentration, easy fatigue and poor sleep quality, which affects daily work and rest.
Dr. Zhong Peizhen called for changing posture every 65,438+05 minutes when using all 3C products to avoid using the same muscle for a long time. When changing posture, muscles can be rested and recharged, so there will be no symptoms of pain and discomfort.
Hot compress can also relieve the back neck through two groups of simple yoga.
In addition to changing posture, the shoulder and neck pain of low-headed people can be relieved by hot compress on the back of the neck with a towel or simple yoga movements, which is also suitable for office workers. Zheng Hongying, a teacher from the Yoga Association of the Republic of China, said that the chin should be squeezed backwards, and the cervical spine should be restored to its original angle through the reverse extension of the bow posture. Expand your shoulders and chest, and then let the two shoulder blades slowly approach the middle behind your shoulders, which can relieve the pressure on the whole back muscle behind our trapezius muscle.
First, the tortoise works
As long as the front and back of the neck are extended, the head turns left again, then the right shoulder is pressed down, and then the other side is changed to repeat the action. Each movement stays for 5 seconds, and the joints between movements are slowed down, which can relieve the muscles of the back neck.
Second, chair yoga.
If there is a chair next to you, you can also try this action: sit on the edge of the chair, put your hands behind your back or stick them on the edge of the chair to stretch your shoulders and chest 10 second, then slowly relax your hands, let your neck droop naturally, put your stomach on your thighs, relax your back and neck 10 second, and repeat the action according to your personal situation.
As long as you change your posture in time, have time to do simple stretching and keep the good habit of using 3C, you can relieve the problem of shoulder and neck pain.
