Therapeutic gymnastics for cervical spine osteochondrosis

But it is a special therapeutic gymnastics that promotes cervical osteochondrosis. Check your own experience. If you want to defeat this unpleasant disease, there is simply no other way. Thanks to the gymnastics, the muscles that are surrounded by the cervical spine, which results in the proper support of the joints and spine.

With regular implementation, positive changes are observed. Normal blood vessels have been restored, causing the disappearance of pain, general improvement of well -being, restoring normal brain function, and therefore the psyche. Those who want to get rid of all kinds of mental problems, such as panic attacks, depression, phobias, also do not forget the cause of their diseases. And cervical osteochondrosis is just one of the causes.

Gymnastics confirms the fact that for the normal functioning of the spine it is necessary to strengthen the muscles associated with it. There are dynamic gymnastics as well as static exercises. Which exercises should be used depends on the severity, the characteristics of the disease. But as practice shows to achieve a positive effect, both types need to practice.

Dynamic exercises

Dynamic exercises for the treatment of cervical spine osteochondrosis are simple movements and head rotation. But this obvious simplicity contains the keys to the release of cervical osteochondrosis. This practice with regular implementation helps to strengthen muscles, restore cartilage tissue, that is, intervertebral discs. Also, without certain conditions we talk about slightly below, the effect of practice will not only be minor, but it can simply be harmful.

1. He closed his head down, burning his chin chest. Raise yourself and throw it back.
2. We are on your left, right. The ear is on the shoulder of the same name.
3. Turn right to the right, left, vertically neck neck. That is, we go to the right to the right and look at our right, as well as to the left.
4. Rotate the head clockwise and clockwise. (This exercise is careful, not for everyone).

Often a person simply cannot turn his neck, says he is painful or not comfortable. Scripts, cracks on the neck as if there is sand. Over time, "sand is smaller", the exercises are easier and easier, and after a while the person forgets that there were problems with the neck. Of course, this does not happen immediately. Someone in a few weeks, a month, for someone six months, a year. Yes, there is no other solution. You have to do exercises for a long time and regularly, only then will have a positive effect on time. There are no miracles in order for the neck to recover and naive. After the pain is quickly removed, you will not get rid of cervical osteochondrosis. To prevent the disease, you will have to work.

But using special conditions, you want to perform exercises, they will not be burdened. Exercises should be performed slowly, connecting the consciousness. Only in this case will there be a positive effect and you will not hurt yourself. You need to start with a dozen repetitions in each direction and make it slowly, without careful pain and unpleasant sensations. It is important at this time not to destroy extraordinary thoughts, but to pay attention to the feelings in the body. The neck is relaxed, you feel its muscles, they are not tense. During movement, you feel how the neck is cut, but it does not cause a contract. So you will turn on the consciousness and not hurt the neck.

During consciousness, you will simply relax from the daily fuss, as your attention is destroyed by fuss and neck sensations. By itself, consciousness can cure miracles. You have to perform the exercises in the chair, gradually adding one, two movements a day, which indicates fifty in each direction. In some cases, when there is no pain, you can increase the pace. Also remember that you do not need to pay attention to the exercise. So you can't feel your neck and you will not get a positive effect. In this case, the number of repetitions should be estimated.

It happens that as a result of exercise, you have lost consciousness, breaking caution, the principle of nonviolence in your body, and injured in the neck. For example, residual pain appeared. It is necessary to stop performing the complex until the pain goes away and also wait a few days for the neck to recover. Only then can you return to practice again. Also, many do not recommend a coup in the chapters. If you have strong and old osteochondrosis, it is best to exclude the last exercise.

Static exercises

As practice shows that successfully treated cervical osteochondrosis, there can also be static exercises and often help them. People who perform them, as well as a few weeks, months, six months later, have relieved problems such as dizziness, headache, and mental disorders. Static loading is the easiest way to strengthen the neck muscles without movements. Indeed, often with major cervical spine problems, any movement causes pain and subsequent trauma. But if you can't move your neck, you can strengthen your muscles, passively use its weight and it's very easy. So what exercises are useful and effective. They are simple:

We leaned back, rest. We stand on top of it, and we drink about the back of the floor about a centimeter. We weight the neck muscles of the neck until there is obvious fatigue. We only watch. We reduce ourselves. Usually, the first exposure is a few seconds, increasing over time. In any case, time should be selected individually. We do the same on the belly. We put our hands together, putting the heads on our hands. We closed ourselves from the floor. We reduce ourselves. We do the same on the right side and on the left side. To begin with, one repetition is enough, over time, the exercise can be repeated 5 times.

It is also important to raise awareness here. When pressing the head, we pay attention not to the neck and imagine how it rests, even though the muscles are tense. This is very important. When we reduce ourselves, do not hurry to perform the following repetition. Wait for a few seconds, as well as relax your neck, imagine how pleasant energy is spread inside it. The exposure time is first small, in a few seconds. Over time, it can grow up to minutes and even more. Also, to get rid of cervical osteochondrosis, static exercises are used for sitting or standing when we hold our hand and try to resist this cutter with the neck muscles.

So, in order to forget about cervical osteochondrosis and get rid of many unpleasant symptoms that will significantly worsen our lives, you need to open your neck with dynamic exercise and strengthen the neck muscles static. Do this regularly for some time. At the same time, do not forget the neck rest, consciousness, sense of proportion. With the exercise of the neck muscles, we reduce the load on the intervertebral discs, strengthen blood flow, restore their normal work. It should also be remembered that cervical osteochondrosis exercises are used not only for treatment but also for prevention.

Effective strength exercises

A well -known Dr. Bubnovsky, who successfully treats osteochondrosis, recommend that the spine spine problems perform strength exercises that strengthen the neck muscles, such as bars, on the horizontal strip. He personally says that those who periodically catch the horizontal strip will not hurt cervical osteochondrosis. Of course, forces exercises are not suitable for weakened, older, very sick people. But to prevent cervical osteochondrosis as an additional method, such people can perform them at least with full force, not fully. If you do not have bars, place two chairs or other furniture from the furniture and develop the neck muscles by pressing a small size.
