Why "train" the spine? The health of the spine

Above all a few words about the spine, just to make it easier to understand why it is worth paying close attention and supporting your health in every way possible.

Our spinal column is the foundation of our skeletal system, the central pillar of our body, the supporting column. It stretches between the skull and the pelvis, holding the trunk, to which the head and limbs are connected, making up our whole body. It also protects the spinal cord, nerves and blood vessels that run through it ( So it has plenty to do:) ).

Anatomically, it is composed of a succession of hard (vertebral bodies) and soft, soft parts (discs, tendons, ligaments and muscles) that provide flexibility. The discs that connect the vertebrae act as shock absorbers to prevent external loads (impacts, pressures, etc.) from causing them to friction (and thus wear) and to prevent them from pushing against each other, thus supporting the weight of the body.

The spine consists of 7 cervical, 12 dorsal, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 3-5 caudal vertebrae. In lateral view, it has a double "S" shaped curvature, which is the result of the uprighting of the human body.

To perform your tasks optimally, it is essential that your health is also optimal!

To put it another way: our lives, our GOOD TO LEAVE, from A healthy spine is the foundation of OUR HEALTH (would be)!

 

Due to the sedentary lifestyle of today's modern and fast-paced world, our bodies, among other things our stabilising muscles that support and protect the spinal column are weakened, and ergonomically unfavourable muscle-nerve relationships are fixed and locked in place during our daily routine activities. (sitting at the computer, desk, in front of the TV, in the car, on public transport - we slowly forget how to walk:), using ever smarter and smaller technical and comfort devices, etc.) All this leads to long-term body imbalances, and later to musculoskeletal and other health complaints, which worsen our general well-being, and in the worst case, can make our everyday life miserable. In the long term, the pain, reduced mobility, visits to the doctor, forced cancellations, etc., in turn reduce our quality of life.

 

So what can we do to keep our spines healthy?

A With GERINCTRENING, we can support the central pillar of our body in a targeted and effective way from the movement side.

What does the term spinal training mean? Why should you exercise regularly?

Spinal gymnastics is a complex form of exercise that goes well beyond a health maintenance workout. It works on the whole body and, through it, the mind, and when practised regularly can make a positive difference in many areas of our lives, significantly improving our quality of life.

Spinal core exercises strengthen the muscles responsible for spinal stability and help to maintain and restore spinal mobility. As such, it primarily involves the development, strengthening and stretching of the muscles of the trunk, with particular emphasis on the deep back muscles adjacent to the spine, which receive less attention in other traditional aerobic, functional or other workouts. However, properly composed exercises train not only the muscles of the back and abdomen, but also the muscles of the hips, shoulders, arms and legs, and thus the whole body.

The effects of regular back training:

  • Makes you stronger, more enduring and more agile
  • It can reduce or even eliminate neck, shoulder, back and lower back pain caused by poor lifestyle and exercise patterns and
  • Helps restore muscle balance to the body
  • Improves muscle tone
  • Shapes the figure
  • Improves posture and coordination of movements,
  • Increases body awareness
  • The body is almost reborn 🙂

 

Who is it for?

The foregoing may dispel the possible misconception, that spinal training is an exercise programme for the elderly and people with spinalm.

In addition, it is recommended to mindazoknak, who spend more than two hours a day in the same posture(sedentary work, standing work, "relaxing" at home in front of the TV on the sofa, sitting in front of the computer, etc.) or are regularly subjected to unilateral strain. Awho need to find the best place to sleep at night so they don't wake up feeling groggy, who even a shrug or a turn of the head is uncomfortable. Awho have once uttered the words "my neck is stiff", "my back is stiff, "my waist is falling off" etc.  Afor those whoto difficulties causes them to bend over to tie their shoelaces and those who already know what it feels like when you make a wrong move they can barely Straighten up.

For young people, even from childhood or adolescence, in a more playful way, to get the right posture and correct movement patterns are established, making it more likely to prevent later body imbalances. For athletes as a supplement, for older people for daily exercise. For people who have already developed a musculoskeletal problem and who, with the cooperation of a doctor, need rehabilitation. For those who prefer safe, low-intensity forms of exercise that shape their body, develop their movement culture and body awareness, and improve their body image.

 

In summary: a vertebrateregardless of age, gender Recommendationthere all, born with spina bifida, walking upright on two legs, who for a long time you want to use the support column of your body as intended, without pain, while enjoying the pleasant side effects of flexible, toned muscles, a nice posture and the praise they earn:)

 

What happens in a gerinctraining, what kind of exercises can we expect, how is a lesson put together?

 

The 55-minute session starts with a warm-up to prepare the body (joints, muscles, cardio system) for the workload. We then work the whole body in a targeted way, focusing on the deep and superficial muscles responsible for the stability of the spine. The exercises are simple and easy to follow, yet complex in their effects. The transition between each exercise is an active or more passive mobilisation, whereby the muscles and muscle groups under stress are relaxed and rested, while still maintaining their state of readiness for the rest of the class. A spinal workout can include more dynamic exercises with a pulse increase, as well as stabilisation or static exercises and stretching.

The class is made even more enjoyable by the use of various equipment (fitball, softball, dyner pads, roller, etc.).

 

Spinal training is recommended 2-3 times a week to establish and routine correct postures and movement patterns that can be transferred into everyday activities (how to sit, how to bend, how to lift, how to hold your head, how to hold your pelvis, etc.) to achieve truly life-changing HEALTH results:)
