Practice yoga, after practice if you feel refreshed then you practiced correctly, otherwise...

Accelerating while the brakes are locked can increase the risk of the engine catching fire. The same goes for yoga without warming up.

Current work pressure is forcing office workers into a 8-hour work day, often having to sit glued to the computer for 8 hours a day.

Many office workers rush home after work to take care of their families.

So many people choose lunch break to exercise.

And yoga is one of those options.

However, not everyone who practices yoga is healthy. Practicing yoga or sitting in the office with the wrong posture can sometimes cause pain.

Here are some shares from Master, Traditional Medicine Physician Vo Anh Tuan sent to Tuoi Tre Online.

No matter what the hurry, don't forget the warm-up step.

Accelerating while the brakes are locked can increase the risk of the engine catching fire. The same goes for yoga without warming up.

Office workers spend their lunchtime together going to yoga. Some days after practice, they feel refreshed and comfortable, but other days they have neck, shoulder, arm, or even back pain without knowing why.

Practicing yoga has many benefits. Physically, it helps increase flexibility, muscle strength, improve posture and boost cardiovascular health…

Mentally, it helps reduce stress, improve sleep, increase concentration, balance emotions...

If you feel refreshed and comfortable after your workout, you are doing it right. Otherwise, you are obviously doing something wrong.

The biggest mistake is not warming up properly or skipping the warm up.

It is understandable that since practice is at noon, I cannot always arrive on time. On the days I am late, I just join the class. I start from where everyone else is practicing.

The consequence is that after the workout, I have neck, shoulder, arm, back pain...

So, when practicing yoga, do not skip the warm-up part because of rush or delay.

X-ray also can not find the disease, why?

Working in an office, using computers a lot and sitting in an incorrect posture for a long time will cause the cervical vertebrae to degenerate and the neck muscles to become fibrotic. This degenerative condition will block the flow of "qi".

In Oriental medicine there is the principle that "when Qi moves, blood moves, when blood moves, Qi moves."

During sudden vigorous exercise, blood is forced to operate at a higher intensity to distribute energy, causing the qi to also operate at a higher intensity.

When the air is circulating at a higher intensity and is blocked, it creates a reaction. It is this reaction that causes the feeling of pain.

This is similar to the situation where a car's brakes are locked and if you increase the speed, there is a risk of the engine burning out.

First comes neck, shoulder, and arm pain, followed by back pain. This may be accompanied by a temporary increase in blood pressure, migraines, or vestibular disorders.

What confuses many physicians during clinical examination is that the X-ray shows no abnormalities, even though the patient is in pain. The reason is because X-rays cannot capture air.

Initially there is pain. Later these painful points are accompanied by swelling. If not treated promptly, inflammation may develop with full symptoms of swelling, heat, redness and pain.

Yoga warm-up exercises are designed to loosen and loosen the muscles, which helps to clear out any blockages.

Then the next formal exercises will help the practitioner achieve the results as described above.
