Posture correction training Suzhou

First go to a public tertiary-level rehabilitation department for a professional evaluation to rule out pathological problems, and then choose a sports rehabilitation studio with formal qualifications or a yoga/Pilates private class with a rehabilitation background based on your own needs. Don’t just follow the trend and sign up for a group class of unified correction by Internet celebrities that costs hundreds of dollars for a dozen classes. It is highly likely to be useless and may cause harm to the body.

I have been working in posture-related work in Suzhou for almost 6 years. I have helped dozens of friends avoid pitfalls, and I have also seen too many examples of mistakes. Last month, a young man who worked as a designer in Xiangcheng came to me and said that he spent 1,200 to sign up for the "Round Shoulder Correction Crash Course" at a fitness studio in a business district. After 4 classes, his shoulder and neck hurt so much that he couldn't lift it. After going to the municipal hospital for a X-ray, he found out that he had a mild cervical disc herniation. The large head shakes and weight-bearing chest expansion movements required in group classes were completely counterproductive to him.

In the current posture correction circle in Suzhou, there is actually no unified "standard answer", and the ideas of different schools are quite different. For example, institutions that follow the clinical rehabilitation route generally put "pain relief + joint alignment" as the first priority. If you already have long-term neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain, or have had problems such as scoliosis or pelvic rotation after taking X-rays, it is right to give priority to this type of machine. Suzhou now has this kind of machine. The most popular ones are in the Structural District and New District, and the price of a single class ranges from 300 to 800. The disadvantage is that most of the training is targeted muscle activation, which is relatively boring, and most of them do not include muscle building or shaping. If you want to practice some lines at the same time, you may not be able to satisfy it.

For example, many girls now like to choose posture classes in yoga and Pilates studios. They do have advantages. For example, the class atmosphere is good, and they can adjust the core with breathing. After pregnancy, mothers can adjust their hip width and rectus abdominis separation, or if they just sit for a long time and want to improve their temperament, this kind of class is suitable. But be careful to avoid pitfalls. I know a teacher who opened a clinic in Suzhou. He said that many teachers who have just passed the junior Pilates certification exam dare to give "posture correction classes" to clients without even doing an evaluation. They just ask people to lie on the core bed and add resistance. I met a client who had lumbar spondylolisthesis before and was forced to do abdominal crunches, which almost caused an accident. If you choose this type of class, first ask the teacher if he or she has NSCA or rehabilitation-related certifications. Don’t listen to self-proclaimed titles like “senior posture manager.”

Some people also ask whether the rehabilitation departments of public tertiary hospitals can provide training? Of course you can. The Rehabilitation Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University, and the Municipal Hospital all have related projects. The assessment plus a single training is about 100 to 300, and you can also get medical insurance. It is very cost-effective, but it is troublesome to queue up. Basically, you have to make an appointment a week in advance, and the doctor will not talk to you about aesthetic adjustments. They are all aimed at solving functional problems. If you just want to adjust the "right-angle shoulder" or something, the doctor may directly advise you not to mess around.

By the way, there are still people on the Internet who say that posture correction is all an IQ tax. This statement is too extreme. I met a 16-year-old girl before. The difference between height and shoulder was almost 3 centimeters, and she walked crookedly. She went to the First Affiliated Hospital to find out that she had idiopathic scoliosis of 18 degrees. The doctor asked her to cooperate with rehabilitation training. After more than half a year of adjustment, the difference is now less than half a centimeter, and her back no longer hurts. How can this be an IQ tax? But if you don’t have any problems yourself, but you just look at the “standard body chart” on the Internet and feel that your collarbone is not flat enough and your legs are not straight enough, and you insist on making yourself look like an Internet celebrity, then all the money you spend will be in vain. The normal human body is not completely symmetrical, and you have to recognize this everywhere.

One more practical reminder: when looking for this kind of course in Suzhou, if you see any advertisements such as "correcting round shoulders in 7 days" or "curing scoliosis in 10 days", just turn around and leave. Structural scoliosis can basically only improve the degree and relieve the symptoms in adulthood, but cannot be completely "cured". If the rounded shoulders have been accompanied by bone changes, it is impossible to break them back in a week. Those who say they can do it are just trying to make quick money.

Finally, to be honest, Suzhou now has quite comprehensive posture correction resources, ranging from public medical institutions to commercial institutions. There is no need to be anxious when you come up, and there is no need to follow the trend and choose the most expensive one. You need to figure out what your problem is first, whether you want to solve pain, improve function, or simply adjust your temperament, and choose accordingly. After all, posture correction is still a matter of long-term persistence. Once you find the right direction, the rest is to practice slowly.
