Posture Correction Chen Meng

If you have non-pathological posture problems caused by daily bad habits, the cost-effectiveness of asking Chen Meng for correction is much higher than practicing with an internet celebrity video for half a year and getting a personal training card worth tens of thousands - he does not have universal corrective actions, nor does he advocate 7 It works instantly. For 80% of ordinary rounded shoulders, high and low shoulders, and anterior pelvic tilt problems, as long as you can follow his personalized plan combined with your daily habits, you will see improvements without rebound in about 3 months. This is the conclusion that I personally tested with four or five people around me.

To be honest, I was skeptical about this kind of "private orthodontist" at first. Last year, because I was squatting in front of the editing table every day to edit films, my right trapezius muscle bulged like a small steamed bun, and my shoulders were so crooked that even the neckline of a T-shirt would go wrong. While I was skating, I went to the bone-setter to straighten it three times. Just after the straightening, it was straight again. Three days later, it returned to its original shape. I also practiced shoulder-sinking and back-locking with a fitness coach for a month. The practice made my back hurt so much that I couldn't sleep, and my trapezius muscles became even more bulging. Later, an athlete friend of the provincial team pushed Chen Meng's WeChat account and said that he had been a rehabilitation trainer for the sprint event in the team for 6 years, specializing in this kind of power generation problem that "doesn't look like a disease but it hurts like hell".

I was particularly impressed by my first consultation. He didn’t let me stand and take comparison pictures, and he didn’t even come up to touch my bones. He squatted at the door of the studio and watched me walk slowly for three minutes. I was stunned at the time. I had never noticed this habit myself. He said directly, "The crooked shoulder of yours is not a shoulder problem at all. It is the muscles in the right waist and abdomen that are stiff all year round and causing the pelvis to tilt, causing the upper body to fall to one side. What's the use of just practicing your back?"

Nowadays, there is a lot of quarrel in the posture correction circle. One group is "structure first" and believes that all posture problems are caused by crooked bones. Bone setting and chiropractic arrangements should be made before talking about muscles after adjusting the structure. The other group is "muscle is king" and believes that it is all about imbalanced muscle tone. Building enough muscle mass will naturally correct it. Chen Meng is one of those who doesn't take sides. He often says, "How can ordinary people have so many congenital structural abnormalities in their posture problems? They are all caused by using the wrong body every day." When he encounters clients with scoliosis of more than 20 degrees or intervertebral disc herniation that compresses nerves, he directly sends them to the orthopedics department of a regular hospital for the first consultation, without even providing a plan, saying that he does not have the qualifications to fix pathological problems, so don't delay their treatment.

Many people criticized him on the Internet, saying that his courses were "unsystematic" and did not have a unified action library. Others who bought the courses got different plans, and there was no way to learn them in batches. I think this is his most reliable feature - he also has round shoulders. My best friend carries babies all the time. Her pectoralis major is tight but her back muscles are strong. The plan he gave was to lie down on a foam roller and roll her chest for 3 minutes every day. When sitting at work, put her arms behind her back for 30 seconds every hour. She didn't even decide on the number of sets. He said, "Do it when you have time, do it when you think about it, it is better than failing to complete the KPI if you set it." However, another programmer friend of mine has rounded shoulders and weak back muscles. Instead, he does not allow chest rolling. He first asks him to clamp his shoulder blades 10 times when he squats against the wall when he comes home from get off work every day, for 15 seconds each time. He practices for two weeks and then adjusts the plan. The last time I went to his studio, what was posted on the wall was not the kind of exaggerated before and after correction pictures, but a wall full of notes, all of which were notes about the daily habits of customers: The delivery boy Lao Zhang always climbs the stairs with his left leg first, as his left shoulder is high. It is recommended that he deliberately switch to the right leg first every three floors; middle school The teacher, Sister Li, puts her weight on her right foot while giving lectures and tilts her pelvis forward. It is recommended to wear soft-soled shoes and stand for 20 minutes before resting against the podium for 30 seconds. The little girl who has just finished the college entrance examination lowers her head to answer questions, which causes her neck to tilt forward. The plan even states that she "deliberately raises her head and chews 3 mouthfuls every day when eating."

Of course, not everyone agrees with him. One of my colleagues felt that his plan was too fragmentary and he kept forgetting it. After practicing for half a month with no results, he turned around and called him a "liar" on the Internet. He said that it would be better to just give him 10 movements to follow every day for peace of mind. Chen Meng himself was not angry when he saw it. The last time I had sex with him, he still laughed and said, "How can ordinary people find so much time to spend an hour a day doing corrective exercises? Being able to correct small mistakes in daily habits is better than anything else. If you insist on pursuing a quick program that will show results in 7 days, it is really useless for me, and I can't adjust it."

Speaking of which, last week I met the little girl who had finished the college entrance examination for a follow-up consultation. Her neck had straightened a lot. She held up milk tea and said to him, "I always tilt my head when eating. My mother thought I had something stuck in my chin." He squatted on the ground and adjusted the new plan for the little girl. The notebook at hand also said that he would go to the community next month to perform free posture screening for sedentary elderly people. The writing was crooked, which was not at all different from the meticulous energy he used when correcting people.
