The speaker discusses the importance of maintaining proper posture and body alignment, particularly for those who experience scoliosis and stooping. They explain that research from the Civil Institute of Urology suggests that several muscles play a significant role in the development of these conditions, including the balance muscles that provide scapular balance.
The speaker then guides the audience through a series of exercises to help improve posture and reduce the risk of developing these conditions. The exercises focus on strengthening the trapezius muscles, stretching the pectoral muscles, and improving shoulder blade mobility.
The exercises include:
1. Using an elastic band to train the trapezius muscles, starting with small efforts and gradually increasing the intensity.
2. Stretching the pectoral muscles by placing hands on a door frame or corner and pushing forward while standing on the toes.
3. Controlling the position of the hand to automatically adjust the scapula and maintain proper posture.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of consistent practice and encourages the audience to take photos of themselves before and after practicing the exercises to track their progress. They also invite feedback and suggestions from the audience.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The Civil Institute of Urology has conducted research on the development of scoliosis and stoop.
2. Several muscles play a large part in the development of scoliosis and stoop, including the balance muscles that provide balance of the scapula.
3. The abdominal muscles, rectus muscle, oblique muscle, muscles of the lower back, extensors of the back, diaphragm, and muscles of the leg are all in good condition when the body is in a healthy position.
4. The gluteal muscle is also in good condition when the body is in a healthy position.
5. The extensor of the neck can weaken and shorten, leading to problems such as dizziness, headaches, and pain.
6. The vertebral artery can be affected by disturbances, leading to problems such as dizziness and headaches.
7. The development of a double chin can be related to a lack of mobility in the thoracic spine.
8. The pectoralis minor muscle, pectoralis major muscle, and trapezius muscle are all used during exercises to improve posture.
9. The rhomboid muscles are also used during exercises to improve posture.
10. Elastic bands can be used as a tool for exercising and improving posture.
11. A door can be used as a tool for exercising and improving posture.
12. The position of the hand can affect the position of the shoulder and scapula.
13. The anterior superior ilium bone is located in the hip area and can be used as a reference point for improving posture.
14. The position of the hand can be used to control the position of the scapula and improve posture.
15. Taking photos of oneself can be a helpful way to track progress and identify areas for improvement in posture.
