A few days ago, I treated a 7-year-old child. Because he is obsessed with electronic products, he has been sitting on the sofa watching mobile phones and playing with tablets for a long time. He even likes to hide in the closet and play. The last time I sat on the sofa and watched the phone, my child couldn't get off the ground to walk anymore! This frightened the parents, so they immediately brought him to the outpatient clinic for treatment.
After examination and evaluation, it was found that the child had gluteal muscle damage resulting in the inability to walk. After 2 treatments, he could walk freely.
Through this case, I want to tell all parents that neither adults nor children can sleep on the bed/sofa, let alone sleep on the sofa. Let me tell you in detail the harm of "sitting down" to our :
The most directly injured when sitting down is the " gluteal muscles"
The gluteal muscles are what we often call the muscles on the buttocks. The gluteal muscles are divided into gluteus maximus , gluteus medius gluteus minimus , and 6 small muscles , namely: superior gallbladder muscle, inferior gallbladder muscle, obturator internus, obturator externus, piriformis muscle , quadratus femoris muscle.
The main function of the gluteal muscles is hip extension, which is the action when we stand up from a sitting position.
When we sit on the sofa/bed for a long time, the gluteal muscles will be passively in a stretched position. Coupled with long-term pressure, local blood circulation will become poor , and long-term accumulation will cause muscle loss. Inflammation, causing pain, limited movement.
Sitting in the crotch is prone to back pain and cervical stiffness.
Under normal circumstances, when we observe the spine from the side, the spine has 4 physiological curves. Vertebra is convex backward.
When we sit in a crouched position and observe the spine from the back side, the back arch will be aggravated and the neck will lean forward, causing chest hunchback and cervical spine arching , which will destabilize the cervical spine.
Affects breathing and emotions
Under normal circumstances, when we breathe, the chest can be opened forward. When we sit down, the thoracolumbar spine is in a flexion state , breathing will be restricted and breathing will become shallow. After long-term breathing becomes shallow, It will affect our sympathetic nerves , prone to irritable emotions, and affect learning and life.
Long-term head and neck traction can easily cause dizziness and headache
because when we sit down, our sternocleidomastoid muscle will be tense, which in turn causes us dizziness and headache.
The above four hazards should not be underestimated. After understanding so many hazards, do you and your children still dare to sit around?
