Seven bad movements that hurt women's waist the most

Many women experience back pain, especially during menstruation. For women, the waist is a very important part of the body, so everyone should pay attention to the maintenance of the waist in daily life, and we should avoid some avoidable injuries to the waist. The following seven bad movements are most harmful to women's waists and we must correct them as soon as possible.

1. Sitting in a stiff posture

When the human body sits forward 20 degrees, the pressure inside the lumbar intervertebral disc is the greatest. This is exactly the posture we often maintain when working in front of a computer, surfing the Internet, or playing games. If you sit in this position for a long time, the lumbar spine will be compressed and shrink as a whole, and the central axis of the body will move backward, causing the intervertebral disc to protrude backwards.

2. Excessive fatigue

In our daily activities, the lumbar spine is mostly in a flexed state. Excessive work is equivalent to increasing the time of lumbar flexion. Statistics show that some people flex their lumbar spine as often as 3,000 to 5,000 times a day. This excessive, repetitive flexion is the most common cause of low back pain.

3. Squat

Squatting too hard or using an incorrect squatting posture can easily strain your waist. The correct squatting posture is that when squatting, both legs work together to support the body, and the head, chest and knee joints are at the same angle. The high-low squat posture is most beneficial to the health of the waist. The right foot is in front, the left foot is behind, and the legs are close together and squatted down. The right foot is completely on the ground, the calf is perpendicular to the ground, the left heel is lifted, and the sole of the foot is on the ground.

4. Mention

Many people like to carry heavy objects with one hand, which can easily damage the lumbar muscles on one side and cause pain. The correct way is to share the weight with both hands so that the lumbar spine is evenly stressed. The things you lift should not be too heavy. Brute force will hurt your waist. It is best to use tools to move heavy objects.

5. Sit

In a person's life, he spends more time sitting than walking. Sitting crookedly with your back hunched forward can cause lumbar muscle strain, spinal curvature, myopia and other problems. The correct sitting posture is to keep your back straight, with your thighs at a 90-degree angle, and sit in the middle of the chair. You can also lean forward slightly, but don't let your upper body lean to the left or right. If you feel tired of sitting in this position, you can lean back a little. It is best to put a cushion on the chair.

6. Station

Common incorrect standing postures include hunching the chest, flexing the neck, and drooping shoulders, which can easily compress the spine and peripheral nerves, affect cardiopulmonary function, and over time can lead to cervical and lumbar diseases such as cervical bone hyperplasia and intervertebral disc degeneration. Therefore, the waist should be kept straight when standing. When viewed from the side, the ears, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles should be in a straight line, and the pelvis should be slightly tilted forward.

7. Carry

When carrying things, some people are accustomed to throwing everything onto their shoulders all at once and carrying it with the strength of one shoulder. This process may also cause strain to the waist. The strength used to carry things is overall, requiring not only the strength of the arms, but also the strength of the waist and legs. It is best to half squat first, then slowly lift the weight to the waist position, and then put it on your shoulders, just like weightlifting, with a buffer. Also pay attention to alternating between your left and right shoulders. It is recommended that people who often carry things should strengthen their regular exercise, such as doing push-ups, sit-ups, weighted squats, etc.
