What is the "debt of pain" Ko Matsudaira, or How to remove the discomfort in the back 3 seconds

With pain in the back in our days many. Lately, because of the quarantine and transition to remote work, this problem became even more urgent. The struggle with pain and discomfort requires a lot of energy and money — we buy special chairs do massage and complex of exercises, but at best get only partial relief. Japanese Professor To Matsudaira (Matsudaira Ko) helps to get rid of back pain in just 3 seconds.

The majority of Japanese people about the pain in your shoulders and back I know firsthand. Moreover, some live with them for years and put up with this unpleasant condition. Professor Ko Matsudaira says that getting rid of the painful symptoms only need from time to time "to give back back pain" with elementary and, most importantly, very short exercises.

So simply and clearly explains the mechanism of occurrence of pains Professor Matsudaira in their seminars. The researcher clarifies that the reasons for discomfort in the back can be more serious causes, for example, intervertebral hernia, malignant and benign tumors, trauma and inflammation of the sciatic nerve. In such cases, you should not rely on gymnastics, so as to help the patient can only doctors.

The vertebrae forming the spine are separated by intervertebral discs, acting as shock absorbers. Are these discs from the nucleus pulposus and the surrounding annulus fibrosus. By changing the position of the body purposee the core is shifted, and if the person slouches, it tilts backwards. Between the fourth and fifth spine, a point load is 200 kg.

If you properly raise the child, weighing only 20 kg, this place may be voltage up to 400 kg! American researchers from the National Institute of labour found that at a load of about 340 kg, it is already possible to get a serious spinal injury. Professor Matsudaira believes that the injury is not even necessary to lift the load — enough to stoop and to sneeze to pulpose nucleus torn fibrous ring.

The load between the fourth and fifth spine, which presses on the years working, sitting, a Japanese Professor called "the duty of back pain". Accumulated "debt" causes of disc displacement or slipped disc. It is therefore important to keep your back working while sitting and not create unnecessary extreme effects on the spine.

But Dr. Matsudaira adds that no matter how you try, the debt is still accumulating, sometimes while performing various household chores, exercising, uncomfortable position during sleep or while driving. Therefore, for the treatment of pain associated with the impact loads on the intervertebral discs, the scientist has developed a short set of exercises, which he called "Elementary gymnastics":

1. Get on the floor, placing the feet parallel to each other wider than shoulders and relax;

2. Put your hands on your back just above the buttocks, and on the exhale, slowly arch your back;

3. Survive in this arched position for three seconds and then slowly return to starting position.

Japanese Professor argues that to relieve chronic back pain due to "debt in the lower back", it is enough to do gymnastics three times a day. To Matsudaira said that it's important to listen to their feelings during the exercise. A little pain in the process of subsidence is a normal phenomenon. Cheerleaders have pain, does not pass within 10 seconds after returning to its original position.

In long-term pain can be different reasons. Most often its appearance means that you overdid it and next time should lean back at a lower angle and less intense. Pain, accompanied by numbness of thighs and calves — an alarming symptom which should be as soon as possible to inform the podiatrist.

Not everyone needs to pay "the debt of lower back pain" by leaning back. Women, for most of the day using high heels, pregnant women and those who work standing up, on the contrary, all day, bend at the waist. For them "Basic gymnastics" will be somewhat different. The Professor advises such people to do the exercises sitting on a chair and lean forward.

Such exercises are very effective for those who have back pain associated with an uncomfortable position during work. Professor Matsudaira recommended the complex to people who care for heavy patients as they spend a lot of time, leaning forward. Most of them, having a gym at himself, recognized that it is valid helps.

Pain in the shoulders and neck often caused by phenomena in the spine and muscle tension. Dr. Matsudaira knows how to deal with this scourge. The so-called "posture with your smartphone", is typical of working sitting down, makes the hard work of the sympathetic nerve and there is heaviness and pain in the muscles of the shoulder girdle. Here is a set of exercises for getting rid of this problem:

1. Sit on a chair with your back straight and your feet shoulder-width apart. No need to lean back and strain — relax, keep your head straight, and shoulders straighten;

2. Bend your arms and touch fingers to shoulders. Try to work only with his hands without straining your chest muscles;

3. Start slowly rotate your elbows back, gradually increasing the amplitude. At the same time continue to look straight ahead and try not to move your abdomen. Need to do 5 to 10 rotations.

But most importantly, according to the Professor, try not to accumulate "debt of pain", that is to take the right position. The chair needs to sit so that the pelvis was shifted slightly forward, and the spine took the form of the letter "S". For those who automatically begins to slouch in the process of the computer, you need to put under the lower back, a small pillow or cushion twisted towels.

If you have to spend a lot of time working with your smartphone, try to sit with straight back, not crossing legs. If it is difficult to control, Matsudaira advised to put on my knees briefcase and lean on his elbows. In this position, to work more comfortably and cross your legs randomly will not work.

There are other useful recommendations on how to relieve back, working on udalenke. In conjunction with the "Basic gymnastics" they probably will show the highest efficiency.
