When a car has locked brakes and you accelerate, the risk of the engine burning out is very high. The same goes for yoga without warming up.
Current work pressure is forcing office workers into a work cycle of 8 hours a day, often having to sit glued to the computer for 8 hours.
Many office workers rush home after work to take care of their families.
So many people choose lunch break to exercise.
And yoga is one of those options.
However, not everyone who practices yoga is healthy. Practicing yoga or sitting in the office in the wrong position can sometimes cause pain.
Here are some shares from Master, Traditional Medicine Physician Vo Anh Tuan sent to Tuoi Tre Online.
No matter how rushed, don't forget the warm-up step.
When a car has locked brakes and you accelerate, the risk of the engine burning out is very high. The same goes for yoga without warming up.
Office workers spend their afternoons practicing yoga together. Some days after practicing, they feel very refreshed and comfortable, but other days they have neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, and even back pain without knowing why.
Practicing yoga has many benefits. Physically, it helps increase flexibility, muscle strength, improve posture and boost cardiovascular health…
Mentally, it helps reduce stress, improve sleep, increase concentration, balance emotions...
If you feel refreshed and comfortable after your workout, you are doing it right. Otherwise, you are obviously doing something wrong.
The biggest mistake is not warming up properly or skipping the warm up.
It is understandable that because the practice is at noon, I cannot always arrive on time. On the days I am late, I just join the class. I start practicing from where everyone is practicing.
The consequence is that after the workout, I have neck, shoulder, arm, back pain...
So, when practicing yoga, don't skip the warm-up part because of rush or delay.
X-rays can't find the disease, why?
Working in an office, using computers a lot and sitting in an incorrect posture for a long time will cause the cervical vertebrae to degenerate and the neck muscles to become fibrotic. This degenerative condition will cause blockage of the flow of "qi".
In Oriental medicine, there is a principle that "when Qi moves, blood moves, when blood moves, Qi moves."
During sudden vigorous exercise, blood is forced to operate at a higher intensity to distribute energy, causing the qi to also operate at a higher intensity.
When the gas is operating at a higher intensity and is blocked, it creates a reaction. It is this reaction that causes the feeling of pain.
This is similar to the situation where a car's brakes are locked and if you increase the speed, there is a risk of the engine catching fire.
First is neck, shoulder and arm pain, followed by back pain. This may be accompanied by temporary hypertension, migraine or vestibular disorders.
What confuses many doctors during clinical examination is that the X-ray shows no abnormalities, even though the patient is in pain. The reason is because X-rays cannot capture air.
Initially there is pain. Then these painful points are accompanied by swelling. If not treated promptly, it can become inflamed with full symptoms of swelling, heat, redness and pain.
Yoga warm-up exercises are designed to soften and loosen the muscles, which helps to clear out any blockages.
Then, the next formal exercises will help the practitioner achieve the results as described above.
