The disc is a pad that sits between each vertebra and is responsible for receiving movements from the vertebrae.
What attitudes can affect our spinal mechanics?
In the first place, we find SEDENTARISM, which consists of the human habit of not exercising and lying down all day. This causes the lumbar muscles to atrophy. In addition, all the daily activities you perform fall on the disc constantly, crushing the disc, dehydrating it and potentially causing a herniated disc.
When we run we are pumping the disc, massaging it. By making it work alternately we will be able to rehydrate the disc. When we are in an acute phase, with a herniation, physical exercise can harm us, but in the recovery phase we will promote the recovery of the disc through this exercise.
Secondly, we find VISCERAL DYSFUNCTION, in this case reflexes are generated in the muscles that control the disc when a viscera or organ malfunctions. This will cause the muscles to be permanently relaxed on one side and permanently tense on the other. This visceral dysfunction can lead to a herniated disc.
Finally, we find the BIOTYPE, which affects tall and thin people who have less lumbar curvature. A sedentary lifestyle and stress cause this curvature to be lost, causing pressure on the disc.
How can you avoid this?
-EXERCISE (in the recovery phase).
-CORRECT NUTRITION.
-CORRECT REST.
-CONTROL YOUR STRESS AND EMOTIONS.
