Square dance has now become the most common fitness activity in our lives. We can often see a group of aunts dancing in the square, but it is easy to hurt us. Therefore, for middle-aged and elderly people, dancing square dance needs to pay attention to some problems to avoid improper and injury.

1, cervical spondylosis

If our head and neck are in a fixed and single posture for a long time, like bowing our heads for a long time, it will easily lead to neck muscle strain and then induce cervical spondylosis. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to dancing slowly in the square dance to prevent syncope; At the same time, do less bow movements to reduce the pressure on the neck.

2, shoulder pain

If the shoulder is stressed for a long time, or sprained during exercise, causing soft tissue injuries such as muscles and ligaments around the shoulder joint, there will be pain, adhesion and limited movement. In the process of lifting the arm, the rotator cuff tissue above the joint is squeezed below the acromion, and repeated friction may trigger inflammatory reaction and lead to pain. Raise your arm slowly, don't be in a hurry. The action of turning the arm over the shoulder should be avoided, because it is easy to cause acromion impact and rotator cuff injury.

3. Lumbar disc herniation

Lumbar disc herniation is mostly due to the cause of the disease and the degenerative changes of the disc, so frequent bending activities should be avoided. Therefore, everyone should properly control the waist bending when dancing square dance, especially when bending forward, and control the speed, strength and amplitude, otherwise they should not do it at all.

4. Knee arthritis

The occurrence of knee arthritis is generally caused by degenerative diseases of the knee joint, trauma, overwork and other factors. If you bear the weight blindly and bend and stretch your knee repeatedly, it will worsen your condition. Knee flexion is the most vulnerable time of the knee joint, and the knee joint rotates at a small angle from left to right, so it bends sideways at the same time, which increases the load of the tissues in the joint and makes the knee joint most vulnerable to injury. In addition, most bone and joint diseases are closely related to catching cold. Therefore, you must pay attention to the warmth and coldness of the above joints before dancing in the square dance, and you can wear knee pads.

Although square dance is very popular, it can also help to adjust the body and exercise well, but we also need to pay attention to some problems to avoid some problems when dancing square dance. I hope everyone can understand the above well, so that our bodies can be healthier.
