Chapter 89: Scoliosis

The spine is the pillar of the body, which is composed of 33 vertebrae (7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, and 9 sacrum and coccygeal bones) connected by ligaments, joints and intervertebral discs. Inside, a longitudinal spinal canal is formed from top to bottom, and the spinal cord is contained inside.

From the front and back, the spine is straight from top to bottom, and from the side, the spine has four curvatures: the cervical and lumbar curvatures that are convex, and the thoracic and sacral flexes that are kyphosis.

Scoliosis refers to the curvature of the spine to the left or right when viewed from the front and back, and more complex is the S-curve, in which the upper and lower ends of the spine are bent to the left and right, respectively.

There are various causes of scoliosis, including congenital factors, neuromuscular factors, lower limb joint pain, body inflammation factors, spinal joint pathology factors, acquired sitting posture, accidents, surgery factors and many other reasons.

Some of these factors can be improved through external intervention, so that the body can show a more harmonious and natural posture, while others can only regret for life, such as polio and other diseases with huge sequelae.

Qian Rui's scoliosis was caused by hysteria, which is a mental disorder, which may also be the reason why Qian Rui finally chose to be a counselor as a career. From the perspective of the cause alone, Qian Rui's scoliosis can be cured in the early stage, but after so many years, it is difficult for the bones to be shaped and the body to change after forming a memory, of course, for ordinary people.

"I'll relax your muscles first, and you must first relax the relevant muscle groups to minimize the strain of the muscles on the bones. Ji Ke carefully relaxed the muscle groups near each vertebra from the bottom to the top, while explaining.

Poor posture, if there is no structural change in the bones, can actually be corrected. Because in this case, the cause of poor posture is muscle imbalance, and muscle strength imbalance can be changed through manual exercises, training, etc.

The muscles around the spine are quite complex, and each vertebra stretches out transverse processes to the sides and posterior spinous processes, and the vertebrae rely on the transverse processes and spinous processes to provide attachment points for the muscles:

The muscles near the spine are transverse spinous muscles (hemispinosus, circumflex, multifidus), erector spinae, and splints (cephalic splints, neck splints), superior and inferior posterior serratus muscles in the middle layer, levator scapulae and rhomboids in the superficial layer, and trapezius muscles and latissimus dorsi in the outermost layer.

If you want to relax so many muscles one by one, it is definitely not only physical work, but also a test of technique! Because these muscles are all in the transverse process, spinous process, and articular process of the vertebrae, and if the force is slightly wrong, it will deviate to other muscles.

"Sister Qian, how do you feel?" Ji Ke had to ask about his feelings almost every half a minute, and the cooperation between the member and the coach was very important in the muscle relaxation session.

"Yes, it just feels like my back is numb and numb, and it's a little sore, like being bitten by ants. Lying on the specially configured massage table, Qian Rui relaxed her whole body and enjoyed Ji Ke's muscle release service.

"Yes, how do you know what it feels like to be bitten by ants? Did you taste ants when you were a child?"

Many people think that the muscle release of personal training is the same thing as massage and massage, but it is not.

Formal massage and massage are based on the theory of viscera and meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, combined with the anatomy and pathological diagnosis of Western medicine, along the meridian acupoints to specific parts of the human body, with pushing, pressing, pinching, kneading techniques to open up the meridians, increase blood circulation, regulate nerve function, so as to achieve the purpose of physiotherapy.

Muscle release is to follow the starting and ending points of the muscles, along the direction of the muscles, through the technique of pressing, relax the muscles, activate the muscle function, so as to achieve the purpose of posture correction and strengthening the training of muscles.

Through the 3D real-time image and data analysis provided by the system, Ji Ke constantly adjusted the technique, strength, and internal power output, and perfectly loosened the muscles, even with the help of the system, he was tired and sweaty, and he didn't have time to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.

"Okay, Sister Qian, the muscles and ligaments of the sacral vertebrae and caudal vertebrae are almost loose, so I'll adjust them for you. "There are many ligaments near the sacral vertebrae and caudal vertebrae, which are not as easy to adjust as the bones in other positions, and are generally corrected quickly and accurately according to the physiological structure through relatively large movements.

Ji Ke has internal strength in his hands, so naturally he doesn't need so much movement, I saw him put his hands on both sides of Qian Rui's buttocks, and before Qian Rui had time to react, he squeezed into the middle. Qian Rui suddenly heard a "crunch" crunch sound at her buttocks, and her whole body froze on the bed and didn't dare to speak.

"It's okay, Sister Qian, the sound you heard just now was made when the sacral vertebrae and tail vertebrae returned to their normal positions, and you will know after adjusting them in a while. Ji Ke also heard the crisp sound, and also felt the stiffness of Qian Rui's whole body, and explained to Qian Rui slowly and softly.

Judging from the 3D image, the position of the sacral vertebrae and caudal vertebrae has not completely returned to the normal physiological position, but there is no way, Qian Rui's scoliosis has been too long, even if he has internal strength, he can't adjust it in place at one time.

Next, Ji Ke concocted the same method, and successfully adjusted the vertebrae of the lumbar spine, thoracic spine, and cervical spine one by one, and when the adjustment was completed, more than two hours had passed.

"It's over, Sister Qian, you stand up and feel the effect. Wiping his sweat with the towel handed over by Li Jiang halfway, Ji Ke stood aside and asked Qian Rui to get down from the massage table to feel the results of these two hours.

"Huh, it just feels different!" Qian Rui slowly got off the massage table, listened to Ji Ke's advice, slowly twisted her body, and felt the changes in her body, "The breathing is smoother, and there is no chest tightness like before, the whole person feels a lot more relaxed, as if he has grown a little taller?"

Qian Rui gestured at Ji Ke a few times, and finally determined that she had really grown a few centimeters taller!

"Alas, I really can't imagine that I can grow taller at such an age!" Qian Rui pulled Ji Ke excitedly, sharing the joy of growing taller, living like a girl in her twenties.

Growing from 162 to 165, this kind of huge surprise is probably overflowing for Qian Rui, and it is difficult to restrain herself!

"Don't get excited, Sister Qian, let's take a photo first, and compare it with the photos we took before, so that we can see the effect more intuitively, and it is more convincing for you to send it to the circle of friends, don't you say?!" Ji Ke pulled Qian Rui to the side of the pillar marked with the height line, took out his mobile phone, and lined up a few photos.

"Sister Qian, if your friend asks, remember to help me publicize it!"

"Okay, no problem, it's on me! When your own store opens, I'll go over to cheer you on! Don't worry!" Although Qian Rui was excited, she still keenly noticed that Ji Ke was talking about promoting him, not promoting this gym.

"It seems that this guy has made up his mind to start a business!But that's right, with such good technology, who would want to work for others?" Qian Rui thought to herself, in her opinion, it is normal for talented people to do it alone, because she is such a person!

"That's right, Sister Qian, because your previous scoliosis was too long, if you want to completely restore the spine to its normal position, it will take a period of adjustment, and once you don't adjust it for a long time, the spine is likely to return to its original state, so the time interval between the two adjustments cannot exceed one week at most, and it is best to adjust it once every 4 days, which is about the same in a month. ”

Ji Ke finally added that what he said did not lie to Qian Rui, the body has a certain memory function for muscles, bones, body composition, etc., whether it is good or bad, so it must be adjusted regularly again until the body forms a memory.

"Okay, don't worry! I don't have anything important to do in the province recently, by the way, how much will I adjust in the future? I'll give you the money now!" Qian Rui suddenly remembered that private lessons are not free! She also does one-on-one service, and she doesn't want to take advantage of this kind of advantage.

"Sister Qian, didn't you slap your face, didn't we say okay, I won't charge money for your private lessons!" Ji Ke held Qian Rui's hand holding the bank card, and his tone was firm.

Qian Rui was stunned for a few moments, looked at Ji Ke and didn't speak, and took back the bank card for a while, "That's okay, I'll take care of it, if you have anything to do in the future, call my sister, if you can help, my sister will definitely help!"
