Halb tuju võib teie kehahoiakut rikkuda. Kuidas emotsioonid mõjutavad selgroogu

When someone says that he “broke under the weight of problems” or “feels the weight of problems on his shoulders,” he is probably not lying. Emotions are material and are reflected in the state of the body. Especially strongly they give away their posture – a little something wrong, and the back resembles a question mark.

Posture and the health of the spine largely depend on our emotions. Due to constant stress, people begin to slouch.

Emotions can ruin your posture?

For example, because of constant stress and bad moods, people most often start slouching. Lowered head, bent back, shuffling gait – by such signs you can easily read the emotional status of an adult.

Why does this happen? The fact is that the muscles gradually get used to the curved posture, and slouching in a sitting position or walking is fixed. Over time, it becomes more and more difficult to correct it. In this case, the constant displacement of the center of gravity often causes pathological changes in the spine. Even an excessive tilt of the head creates an additional load on the spinal axis, because it leads to reflexive bending of the entire torso.

Elena: Slouching can “originate” from childhood, because correct posture is also the right education. Parents, coaches and teachers need to remember that a young child or teenager is an emerging personality. Children should never be humiliated, insulted, even when there is a desire to strongly scold or something to achieve from them. Excessive pressure leads to a decrease in emotional status and self-esteem. As a result, children withdraw into themselves, “clamp down”. Outwardly, it manifests itself as follows: the head is lowered, the shoulders are reduced, there is the so-called “social” slouch. It often appears in adulthood.

Oluline! Seeon often difficult to determine whether stress has caused problems with the spine or, conversely, incorrect posture was the cause of stress. Emotional stress in some cases appears on the background of problems with the musculoskeletal system. This is especially true for office workers who spend most of the day at the computer, but do not watch their posture.

Elena: If a person sits for a long time, strongly tilting his head forward, the blood circulation of the cervical region worsens. This can cause headaches and irritability. Lowered shoulders, bent back puts pressure on the chest. This interferes with the respiratory system, which leads to oxygen starvation of the brain. As a consequence, there is drowsiness, fatigue, general well-being deteriorates. In addition, constant slouching negatively affects the work of internal organs.
