With the growth of age and the influence of bad living habits, many people’s shoulder joints become more and more stiff, and the shoulder and back become thicker and thicker.
What follows is that the posture is getting worse and worse, and the whole person looks mentally poor, especially old.
Serious will also cause cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, dizziness, arm numbness and so on.
For yoga practitioners, stiff shoulders are difficult to open and become a barrier when practicing yoga.
Many middle and advanced asanas are not done well, such as inverted three-dimensional asana, backward bending asana, etc.
The reason why the shoulder joint is so important is that it is the joint with the largest range of motion in the whole body of the human body, and all activities of the upper limbs are inseparable from it.
The flexibility and stability of the shoulder joint are mainly maintained by the surrounding tendons, muscles and connective tissue.
The stiffness and pain of the shoulder joint are mostly due to the decline of the flexibility and stability of the joint.
To improve these problems, we have to reactivate these joint tissues.
Therefore, shoulder opening has become a must for us.
Shoulder opening is mainly aimed at the connection between the shoulder and the boom.
Through certain exercise, it is flexible and tough.
So, what are the benefits of opening the shoulder correctly? 1.
The shoulder and neck are more flexible.
Through some shoulder opening exercises, the stiff and tense muscles of the shoulder and neck can be relaxed and the relaxed and weak muscles can be activated at the same time.
When the muscle problem is solved, the shoulder and neck problem will naturally be solved.
2.
The lumbar spine is healthier.
In many yoga poses, the degree of shoulder opening is closely related to the degree of reaching the posture.
For example, in the practice of backward bending posture, if the practitioner does not have good shoulder and back control ability, he needs lumbar compensation.
The more obvious is the low back pain after practice.
Shoulder opening exercises can greatly strengthen the shoulder and back, so as to reduce the injury to the lumbar spine.
3.
The posture is more elegant, and the stiffness and tension of shoulder joints will lead to the tension of pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles, and the chest curve is not obvious.
At the same time, it may also be accompanied by the problem of chest sagging, resulting in bad posture such as round shoulder hunchback and neck extension.
By opening the shoulder, we can exercise the chest muscles, open the thorax and improve the bad posture.
4.
Breathe more smoothly.
The size of lung space is closely related to the opening and closing degree of shoulder joint.
If you feel difficult to breathe during practice, it is often because the lung activity space is small.
When the shoulder is open, you will feel relaxed and smooth breathing, happy and positive mood, feel relaxed and better! Today, Xiaobian introduced 13 shoulder opening yoga postures to the people.
