Using Yoga As a Means To Aid Rehabilitation From Injury and/or PainPosted by Aaliawilliam on December 26th, 2019 The human body is extremely adaptable.Backhero Posture Corrector ReviewOne only has to look at body-builders to see how the body can adapt to regular strength training. However, our daily work routine and lifestyle is similarly conditioning our bodies in different ways, albeit at a lower intensity than body-builders. Whether we do heavy physical work or do light work in a office, we all follow the same routine for 8 hours a day, 360 days a year. Our bodies structurally adapt to the physical stress from our lifestyles. It make no difference whether the lifestyle is physical demanding or not. It may surprise you to know that light work such as sitting at a desk is taxing for the body as our bodies have to use muscles to hold us in a fixed position for a long period of time. It also an unfortunate circumstance that as we get older, our strength and flexibility decreases. If you look at the spine of a 3 year old child, you will observe an almost perfect 'C' shape whereby all vertebrae in their spine move in perfect synchronisation with maximum flexibility. In a 7 year old child, some of this innate flexibility is already lost. By the time adulthood is reached, the spine has become significantly more rigid. This decrease in flexibility applies to the whole body - not just the spine. Most people's lifestyle have become more sedentary, which accelerates a decline in our flexibility. In addition, the work routine stresses our bodies in the same way every day. This causes our bodies to change its structure to adapt to the demands placed on it every day. Like it? Share it!
