Posture correction copywriting

90% of ordinary people’s common bad postures (rounded shoulders, forward head, mild anterior pelvic tilt, functional high and low shoulders) do not need to spend thousands of dollars to sign up for correction classes, nor do they need to frequently adjust their bones. Find the right daily strength habits + do targeted relaxation training for 1 hour a week, and you will see significant improvements in 2-3 months. The remaining 10% are already accompanied by pain, numbness or organic lesions. Go directly to the rehabilitation department of a regular hospital, and don’t blindly look for Internet celebrity institutions.

A while ago, I received a consultation from a girl who works as an e-commerce operator. She is 23 years old and stares at the computer for 12 hours a day. The last time she took her employment ID photo, the retoucher worked on her head for ten minutes. She was so anxious that she turned around and signed up for a 21-day posture correction camp at 4299. She came to me crying after four days, saying that she couldn't lift her arms after stretching every day, and she didn't have the energy to go after get off work. I changed her daily adjustment plan, and she didn’t even need to buy any equipment. Two months later, she sent me new photos. Her shoulder line was so smooth, and even the cervical pain she had suffered every day was mostly cured.

There are quite a lot of correction methods on the market now, and there is no absolute right or wrong. You have to choose the right one for yourself. The sports rehabilitation group focuses on "tension balance". To put it bluntly, if you keep your head down for a long time, the muscles in front of your neck will be as tight as a fully stretched bow, and the muscles behind your neck will be too weak to lift. If you loosen the tight ones and strengthen the weak ones, your posture will naturally become correct. This is most effective for long-term accumulation of functional problems. There are also groups that do neuromodulation, and feel that the problem is not in the muscles at all, but in your brain's poor perception of the body - - Even if you practice shoulder and back training for half an hour every day, you will still unconsciously slump your waist and shrug your shoulders while sitting for the remaining 10 hours. No matter how much you practice, it is useless. You must first establish proprioception and let the brain remember the "correct" position of exerting force. I actually agree with this. Many people say that they cannot sit in a straight posture. In fact, the brain has become accustomed to the slumped state. If you suddenly change it, it will feel tired. Just slowly adapt to it. As for bone correction, which has become very popular recently, I do not deny its role. If you suddenly have a stiff neck, or a small joint is dislocated so painful that you can't move, going to a regular doctor for a click can indeed provide immediate relief. However, if you have been suffering from rounded shoulders and hunchback for five or six years, and expect to get rid of it once, you will never have it again. That is purely overthinking. I have seen too many people who spent three days after bone correction, and then returned to the original shape when they went back to sit in front of the computer. It was a waste of money.

Many people try to increase their intensity as soon as they start. They follow internet celebrities and practice things like "correcting forward head extension in 7 days" or "building right-angled shoulders in 10 days". Don't mess around. Last month, a male programmer came to me and said that after practicing Yan Fei for a week, his waist hurt so much that he couldn't straighten up. When I asked, I found out that his core was weak. There is really no need to pursue any difficult movements. In the plan I gave the operation girl, there are only two movements: one is to deliberately tuck the chin when sitting, so that it feels like "a thread is pulling up on the back of the neck". Hold it for 10 seconds each time and do it as soon as you think about it; the other is to go home at night and put your back against the wall to do wall angels, 15 times each time, just do two sets a day, and you don't even need to sweat much.

Oh yes, there is another point that many people struggle with: Should they buy that kind of corrective brace? To be honest, it can be used as a temporary rescue. For example, if you are going to take wedding photos or participate in an important event, it is okay to wear it for two hours to support the scene, but don't wear it every day. If you wear it for a long time, your muscles will become dependent. It can exert its own strength, but in the end it will become weaker and weaker, and the gain is not worth the loss. I once bought an imported orthodontic belt costing more than RMB 300. I wore it for three days and then threw it away in a drawer. Every time I put it on, it stood straight, but when I took it off, it immediately collapsed. It is not as effective as putting a small tomato doll next to the monitor. Every time I glance at it, I subconsciously lower my jaw and sink my shoulders. It is better than any smart reminder.

Before, there was a lot of quarrel on the Internet. Some people said that "poor posture is all due to laziness", while others said that "posture is born and cannot be changed." I think both of these statements are quite extreme. Last year, I met a 12-year-old child with idiopathic scoliosis. The scoliosis degree was 24 degrees. After practicing with our rehabilitation specialist for a year, the degree dropped to 11 degrees after taking X-rays. Even the doctor praised him for having good control. Is there anything that can't be changed? But it’s really not a matter of laziness. Many people are so exhausted at work every day that they just want to slump after get off work. It’s really unrealistic to ask them to spend an hour in the gym every day, so it’s important to find a method that can be integrated into daily life. For example, when I am in a meeting, I will deliberately put my feet flat on the ground without crossing my legs, and I don’t have to spend extra time. I just get used to it.

To be honest, after almost 7 years of rehabilitation, the most common thing I tell people I consult is: don’t pursue a perfect body. The shoulders of two normal people cannot be exactly the same height. If you stand for a long time, you will unconsciously put your weight on one leg. As long as you don't have uncomfortable symptoms such as pain, numbness, etc., you really don't have to worry about the one or two millimeter error. To put it bluntly, posture is the trace of how you use your body. How you treat it will be how it feeds back to you. Taking your time will be more effective than any quick fix.
