有良好的坐姿和站姿

經過 Caroline RhodesMay 20, 2018暫無評論

What is one thing you can do right now to look up to 10 years younger in a matter of seconds?

Look at the difference in these two pictures, taken seconds apart. Observe the way the tissue changes in the face and neck. In the first photo, you see a face ageing as gravity pulls down the soft tissue that has no support structure, resulting in jowls, while in the second photo the soft tissue is balanced on the facial bone structure, helping to redefine the loose jaw line.

Slouching when sitting also causes the abdominal organs to push forward, simply because when you slouch, your rib cage and pelvis are closer together and the intestines have to move out – in some cases onto our laps.

駝背和肩膀也會使我們看起來更老，因為這種情況通常與患有心臟病或肺病的老年人有關。

Sadly, we are now seeing younger and younger people coming to us with poor posture. Contributing factors include heavy school bags and sitting with the hips too low while doing homework on a laptop or other device. I recently saw a girl under the age of 8 who had both scoliosis and a rib hump due to her poor sitting posture while watching YouTube cartoons much of the day.

不良姿勢會導致許多內部變化，包括：

- 脊髓受壓（體內最大的神經束）
- 頭部前傾姿勢會减少流向大腦的血液流量，導致腦霧
- 頭痛
- Arthritic changes in the joints of the entire spine
- 脊椎的剪切，使一個脊椎開始向前滑動（脊椎病）
- Compression of the roots of the nerves that run from the spinal cord to all areas of the body, resulting in loss of muscle strength, loss of sensation and impaired bodily functions
- Compression of the blood vessels and nerves in front of the shoulders and in the armpit areas. This can create thoracic inlet and outlet dysfunction (i.e. arm and hand weakness, or symptoms such as burning, tingling, numbness and pins and needles).
- Poor digestion and elimination
- 背部和頸部疼痛和運動障礙
