In the modern world, cervical osteochondrosis is particularly common, as most of us work in an office in a seated position all day. Gradually, we acquire neck pain, migraines, dizziness, and high blood pressure.
In some cases, cervical osteochondrosis leads to impaired vision and impaired coordination of movement.
We decided to make a selection of three simple exercises for the treatment and prevention of cervical osteochondrosis.
1. Child’s Pose
- step. Kneel down: bring your feet and knees together, your big toes touching.
- step. Lower your pelvis to your heels and relax. As you exhale, lower your torso to your knees, your forehead to the floor.
- step. Hands can be placed in two ways, as shown in the image.
- step. Your neck is completely relaxed, your arms are relaxed. Feel how your relaxed shoulders and arms stretch towards the floor under their own weight.
- step. Stay in the pose for 5-6 breathing cycles (Even deep breath and exhale).
2. Fish Pose
- step. Lie on your back, bend your legs slightly at the knees. Inhale, slightly lift your pelvis off the floor and place your hands palms down under your buttocks. Make sure you press your forearms and elbows against the sides of your body.
- step. As you inhale, lift the upper part of your torso (shoulder blades and lower back) off the floor. Lower your head to the floor.
- step. Try to shift all the weight to the support points below the head, as the head should bear minimal weight to avoid excessive strain on the neck.
- step. Breathe calmly and evenly. Hold the pose for 30 seconds-2 minutes.
