Compatible scoliosis and sports

Scoliosis, and sports, fitness and Pilates, gymnastics and throwing the core is how to optimally choose a combination of both? This question is of interest to athletes, which as a result of non-compliance safety training acquired lateral curvature of the spine.

The Topic is also relevant for people with scoliosis, trying to find a quick way of getting rid of pathology using gymnastics, fitness, Pilates and other therapeutic exercise.

The mainstay of treatment of deformation in some rehabilitation centers are gymnastic exercises of Pilates. They are based on studying the state of the muscular frame of the back at each individual and identify the optimum scheme of gymnastics.

Fitness offers quality movement to strengthen individual muscle groups of the back.

Scoliosis, and sports – opposed things. In this article, we will describe only those sports participation, which may return the vertical axis of the body in a physiological position at obligatory observance of recommendations.

Useful sports when there is a sideways curvature of the spine

for scoliosis useful the following sports:

1. Swimming helps to strengthen the muscle corset back. It is even recommended by doctors not only when the lateral deformation of the spine, but when reinforced kittah and lordosis. Style "brass", "Krol", "Dolphin" contribute to strengthening skeletal muscles of the back. If scoliosis is observed asymmetrical muscle tone on both sides of the body. This requires relaxation of individual muscle fibers and improve the tone of the other. As a consequence, in professional rehabilitation centers instructor use only separate swimming exercises from each style in conjunction with a personal choice of exercise therapy fitness or Pilates. Good effect to relieve muscle "clamping" the back has a football
2. Power (weightlifting, lifting weights) is especially dangerous in diseases of the spine due to the high likelihood of trauma ligament-muscular system of the back. Scoliosis they are best avoided;
3. Artistic gymnastics with the use of rail helps to increase the size of the intervertebral joints and thus relieve pain cider. It is correct if the scheme of movements is similar to therapeutic stretching in which a person needs a few weeks to lie still in bed with weights attached to the limbs
4. an exercise ball is a wonderful sport for scoliosis. It prevents deformation of the thorax, respiratory and cardiovascular failure. Fitball subconsciously forms the athlete stereotype of correct breathing. Of course, when there is a sideways curvature of the spine should not choose too active rhythm;
5. Fitness and Pilates is useful for the vertebral column, so as strengthen the upper part of the muscle corset back and prevents dislocation of the spine;
6. shot put and wrestling – these sports absolutely contraindicated for lateral bending of the vertebral column. They lead to numerous injuries in the soft tissues that does not correct the deformation. A similar attitude should be in regard to martial arts, Boxing and other similar sports.

General principles of the therapeutic effect of Pilates and fitness

Sports therapy using the principles of fitness or Pilates will be effective only upon compliance with the following principles:

• People with scoliosis should own the principles of relaxation and tension of individual muscle groups when performing physical activity. These skills can be obtained with Pilates classes
• to Achieve the significant effect in the correction of spinal deformities only after careful "study" of individual muscle groups using the exercise equipment in a state of hypertonicity. The fitness instructor will choose for you an optimal scheme of gymnastics
• When performing exercise it is necessary to monitor the posture and the development of proper coordination of movements under the guidance of an instructor. For these purposes optimally combine dancing and scoliosis. Anticipating readers ' questions: can I run for scoliosis, answer that need, but it is necessary to measure the load;
• Strain the back requires careful treatment. Consequently, for men when lifting weights it is recommended to restrict weight more than 30 kg
• exercise Intensity should be selected so as to avoid any shortness of breath and breathing difficulties;
• of fitness required to perform push-UPS daily. They create opportunities to prevent pain. To strengthen the muscles thus it is necessary in every approach to perform the same number of push-UPS (10-20). Between them it is better to do intervals than to increase the load.

In conclusion, recall that any professional sport is characterized by excessive loads on the spine. People with scoliosis can repeat physical exerciseathletes according to the principles of fitness or Pilates (deep and uniform breathing, flowing movements), but to perform exercises with moderate strength and intensity. Can not hurt the house to have a horizontal bar and the Swedish wall, but to use them efficiently.
