Yoga, “lumbar disc herniation” why can’t do lumbar flexion action?

When practicing yoga, Jiaren often asks about the taboo of lumbar disc herniation

.

Many teachers will tell him not to do lumbar flexion as much as possible

.

So, many Jiaren will ask, why? In fact, those who know something about lumbar anatomy all know that the answer to this question is not complicated

.

In short, it is because the lumbar flexion, will squeeze the nucleus pulposus backward protrusion, for people with lumbar disc backward protrusion, such practice, will aggravate the disease

.

From the following anatomy, you can see: under normal condition, the nucleus pulposus in the lumbar spine is in the middle of the intervertebral disc, evenly stressed

.

When the lumbar spine flexes, the front side of the intervertebral disc is close to each other, which will squeeze the nucleus pulposus and move backward

.

When the lumbar spine stretches, the back sides of the intervertebral discs move closer to each other, squeezing the nucleus pulposus and moving forward

.

Therefore, for the most common people with disc herniation in daily life, yoga teachers will recommend not to do yoga forward bending, and some will recommend not to do supine leg lifting

.

Because these movements, if not done well, will not only cause pressure on the lumbar spine, there is no therapeutic effect, but will cause more serious problems of nucleus pulposus backward protrusion in patients with intervertebral disc herniation

.

In addition, yoga teachers will also suggest that people with lumbar disc herniation must adjust their sitting posture, because in this arched back bending posture, the lumbar spine will squeeze the nucleus pulposus backward, which will aggravate the problem of lumbar disc herniation

.

In fact, in real life, many people’s lumbar disc backward protrusion problems, are due to this incorrect posture, the accumulation of sedentary

.

When I write about this, some Jiaren may say, then why do I see that some teachers give people with lumbar disc herniation Yoga forward bending? In fact, on this issue, Jia people do not need to be too tangled, because in real life, there are many types of lumbar disc herniation, this paper discusses the common people with lumbar disc herniation

.

Secondly, it is very important that the lumbar flexion is not equal to the Yoga forward flexion

.

Although it is strictly required to keep the extension and alignment of the lumbar spine in the Yoga forward bending movement, in real life, practitioners, especially beginners, are easy to do the lumbar flexion in the Yoga forward bending movement due to the limitation of physical conditions

.

Therefore, in order to put an end to the incorrect practice of the practitioners in the Yoga forward bending, the yoga teacher told the practitioners not to do this kind of action

.

The above is today’s sharing

.

I hope it can help you

.

In addition, Jiaren with lumbar disc herniation also needs to avoid excessive twisting

.

If Jiaren are interested, please leave me a message and share it with you another day
