Does the back not improve with just the back muscles?

Does the back not improve with just the back muscles?

When it comes to stooping, we tend to think that if you train your back, it will get better.

But in fact,

* head comes forward

* Shoulders roll forward

* Rounded thoracic spine

* Stiff chest and shoulders

* The trunk is difficult to stabilize

It occurs due to multiple factors overlapping, etc.

Therefore, instead of looking at only one muscle,

It is important to connect the whole body to the neck, thoracic spine, scapula, pelvis, hip joint 🌿

The flow introduced this time,

① Cat & Cow

Make it easier to move the thoracic vertebrae

② Chest stretch

Loosen the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles

③ Open book

pull out the rotation of the thoracic vertebrae

④ Chintack

Position the head that came forward

There are four.

There is no need to force your chest or bend your hips.

Continuing carefully for 5 to 10 minutes every day as far as you can move is the first step to preparing your posture.

Please save it and use it for daily posture care.

... Read more私自身も長時間のデスクワークで猫背に悩んでいましたが、背筋を鍛えれば猫背が治ると信じていた頃はなかなか改善しませんでした。この記事で紹介されているように、猫背は『頭が前に出る』『肩が前へ巻く』『胸椎が丸くなる』という多要因によって起こるため、ひとつの筋肉だけで解決しないことに納得できました。 特に、胸椎の柔軟性を意識することが重要だと感じます。毎日、キャット&カウで背中を丸めたり開いたりすると、胸椎の動きがスムーズになり、肩こりも軽減しました。また、胸のストレッチで大胸筋・小胸筋をほぐすことで、肩甲骨の可動域が広がり、自然に姿勢が整うようになりました。 さらに、オープンブックで胸椎の回旋を促すエクササイズは、肩周りの硬さも改善できるのでおすすめです。私が最初に試したときは上手く動かせず骨盤が倒れがちでしたが、鏡を見ながら意識して行い徐々にフォームが安定しました。 最後にチンタックで首の位置を正しい位置に戻すことで、前に出ていた頭が引っ込み、首や肩の負担が減ったのを感じます。無理に胸を張ったり腰を反らせたりする必要がないので、毎日5〜10分で無理なく続けられることも続いたポイントです。 この4つの動きを継続することで、体幹の安定性も高まり、猫背だけでなく巻き肩や慢性的な肩こり対策にもつながりました。姿勢が良くなると見た目の印象も変わるので、日々のケアとしておすすめしたいです。皆さんもぜひ自分の体の感覚を大切に、無理のない範囲で続けてみてください。
