bad lifestyle makes “muscle contraction” come earlier
what is muscle contraction
In ancient medical books, the ancients divided tendon disorders into broken tendons, tendon walking, tendon relaxation, tendon strength, tendon contracture, tendon atrophy, tendon expansion, tendon turnover and tendon contraction. Tendon contraction is one of them, but its meaning and explanation are not clear. There are not many clinical records of these diseases, and it is difficult to find detailed discussions in Chinese and foreign medical books. Tendon is the old name of traditional Chinese medicine, and is collectively called tendon, ligament and aponeurosis in western medicine; Contraction means contraction and spasm. To put it simply, the contraction of tendons is the shortening of tendons, which limits their activities. Everyone has a large tendon, which leads from the neck to the back, through the waist, thighs, calves, heels to the center of the foot. Anatomy does not mention this large tendon. It is like meridians and acupoints, and has no tangible position. But when you receive treatment, you will realize the existence of this tendon.
Why do people shrink
Man is an animal, and if he does not move for too long, he will easily shrink. When the tendon is injured, it will produce reflex contraction and spasm; Sitting for a long time can also cause constriction. Advances in science and technology have made life much more comfortable. Most people use elevators and cars, which greatly reduce the amount of exercise and increase muscle contraction. Those white-collar workers who have been sitting for a long time, especially the boss, have to have a glass of water delivered to them by the staff, so the possibility of constriction increases greatly.
In the past, most of the cramps occurred in the elderly, but in the past decade or so, computers have become popular. Children as young as a few years old play video games. Older people play computers. They sit for a long time, their posture is incorrect, the placement of computers is inappropriate, and there is not enough space under the computer table for their feet to stretch. The muscles in the back and legs gradually contract, which will cause leg cramps over time. For example, an eight year old child, whose whole body was in the wrong position, often told his mother that his hands and feet were paralyzed, his whole body was uncomfortable, and he cried and quarreled sometimes. The parents also did not know why. Professional drivers are also a high-risk group, because they sit in narrow carriages with their knees bent all day. It is difficult to stretch their muscles and bones, and the muscles of their backs and legs are easy to contract, resulting in muscle contraction.
Why do people who love sports shrink
some people don’t understand why they often play ball and swim for decades. Why do they have cramps
First of all, do you do warm-up exercises before doing exercises? Secondly, how do you do warm-up exercises? Have you done stretching exercise seriously? Most people said they didn’t do any warm-up exercises, but just moved their hands and feet and waved their arms casually. It took a few minutes to get things done. In fact, this is not bad. Many people don’t do warm-up exercises at all. Athletes have already done all the necessary joints, muscles, tendons and other warm-up exercises before the competition, and they just relax again when they arrive at the stadium. Third, some sports movements are too monotonous and repetitive, and some parts move frequently, while other parts cannot balance, such as golf and tennis; In addition, if the water temperature is too low when swimming, it is easy to cause muscle contraction.
symptoms of “muscle contraction” are most easily ignored
Even if adults have cramps, they generally don’t have much impact on life in a short time, so they don’t care too much when they feel waist and back pain. In fact, this is the precursor of cramps and the preview of physical function problems. Often, many signs of serious illness lurk in this way.
What are the main symptoms of muscle contraction? The most common are low back pain, leg pain and paralysis, and the feeling of long and short feet. Sometimes it will lead to radiation traction pain in the tendon of the heel, and the pace is not developed well. If you want to walk in close steps, the ligament of the hip joint is strained, and the thigh can neither be lifted nor spread horizontally. The standing posture of people with constricted tendons is very special. They bend their knees, hips, and chest slightly forward, while their hips slightly backward. They can’t stand straight, and their steps can’t be carried out when walking.
the symptoms of “muscle contraction” can be summarized as follows
1. Neck tightness pain; 2. Lumbago rigidity and pain; 3. Do not bend down; 4. Back tightness pain; 5. Leg pain and paralysis; 6. Do not squat down; 7. Long and short feet; 8. The tendon of the heel has radioactive traction pain; 9. The footwork is not developed very well, and walking in close steps; 10. The ligaments of the hip joint feel taut; 11. The thighs can neither be lifted nor spread horizontally; 12. Inflexible turning; 13. Muscle contraction / atrophy; 14. The hand cannot be extended or bent (the tendon is shortened); 15. The hands, feet, elbows and knees are swollen, numb and painful, and the movement is not smooth.
“stretching”: a health care method learned in one minute
The treatment for muscle contraction has always existed in Qigong and yoga exercises, which is called “stretching”. There is a Taoist saying that a tendon is one inch long, and the life span is ten years. People who live long usually have a pair of soft muscles and bones. Facts have proved that many people who suffer from cramps walk briskly, and their back aches are reduced or even disappeared after they persist in stretching. “Stretching”, an easy-to-learn and easy-to-do health care method, has become a magic weapon for many people to stay away from sub-health.
The direct effect of tendon pulling is to dispel pain, detoxify and enhance physical function. What is the principle? First of all, the direction of the twelve meridians is the same as that of the twelve meridians, so the meridians and collaterals at the place where the tendons are contracted are also blocked, and if they are blocked, they will be painful. In the process of stretching, there will be pain in the crotch, inner thigh, popliteal fossa, etc., which means that the muscles in these parts are contracted, and the corresponding meridians are not smooth. Pulling the tendons softens the tendons and resets the dislocation on the spine. As a result, “the bones are healthy and the tendons are soft, and the blood flows naturally”. The pain, numbness, swelling and other diseases in the waist, knees, limbs and the whole body are eliminated and alleviated.
Secondly, stretching tendons can open the Du and bladder channels on the back, which is of great significance to health, because the Du channel is the meeting of various Yang and the channel of vitality. This channel strengthens the kidney function, and the kidney is the innate foundation and the source of essence. People’s energy and sexual ability depend on the strong function of the kidney. The Du Meridian is on the spine, and the spinal cord leads directly to the brain marrow, so the spine is inextricably linked to brain diseases. The bladder meridian is the largest detoxification system of the human body and also an important barrier against wind cold. If the bladder meridian is unblocked, wind cold is difficult to invade, internal toxins are discharged at any time, and obesity, constipation, acne, color spots and other symptoms are naturally eliminated and alleviated. According to Western medical theory, the main nerves and blood vessels connecting the brain and viscera are attached to the spine and the bones on both sides. Unblocking the spine will naturally clear many visible health “mines”.
If the knee hurts and can’t stretch straight when stretching, there will be muscle contraction. Muscle contraction first shows that the liver channel is not smooth, because the liver controls the muscle, and the spleen and stomach will not be good if the liver channel is not smooth. For example, pain in the crotch and popliteal fossa (the opposite side of the knee) indicates that the bladder meridian is blocked, and the kidney meridian of those with obstructed bladder will not be unblocked. Edema, obesity, frequent urination and diabetes are all related to this. If the arm raised after lying down can’t stick to the bench surface, it indicates that there is periarthritis of shoulder. Some people can’t stretch their legs when they are lifted up, and their falling legs can’t land when they are suspended in the air, which indicates that their tendons shrink seriously. They not only have lumbago and leg pain, but also may have many problems with their internal organs.
Stretching is not only a kind of treatment but also a kind of diagnosis. Regular stretching exercise can make everyone understand their current physical condition more clearly and improve in time.
Four “stretching” exercises
reinforcement method 1: horizontal reinforcement method
Place two safe, stable and flat chairs near the wall or door frame; Sit on the edge of the chair against the wall or door frame, and move your hips to the edge of the chair as far as possible; Lie down and lie on your back, with your right foot stretched straight against the wall column or door frame, and your left foot bent to the ground, touching the ground as far as possible. Put your hands flat on the chair and do it for ten minutes. During this period, the left foot can also swing in the cycling posture, which is conducive to relaxing the hip joints; Move the chair to the other side, and then switch the left and right feet according to the above method, and do it for another 10 minutes.
reinforcement method 2: vertical reinforcement method
Find a door frame, hold the door frames on both sides with both hands, and stretch out both arms as far as possible; One foot in front, stand in lunge, the other foot in the back, and stretch your legs as straight as possible; The body is just parallel to the door frame, the head is upright, and the eyes are straight forward; Stand in this position for three minutes, and then stand on the lunge with another leg for three minutes.
lacing method 3: neck lacing method
Lie face up on the bed or stool, stretch your head out of the edge of the bed or stool, stretch your hands backward as far as possible, and let the weight of your head pull your head down for 3 minutes. Sleep without pillow, lying on your back or on your side.
reinforcement method 4: squatting reinforcement method
The whole person squats down slowly, squatting to the end as far as possible, with both feet together, the palms of both feet touching the ground as far as possible, holding his legs with both hands and burying his head hard.
