C Ge Posture Correction

C Ge's posture correction system is essentially a "functional movement guidance + daily behavior pattern modification" program for the general public. It has a clear effect on improving non-pathological bad posture, but it definitely does not have the magical effect of "Correcting XO Legs in One Week" and "Wealth Package in Seven Days" spread online, and it is by no means suitable for everyone. Follow the trend without thinking and may cause joint and muscle damage.

In the past two years, because I was working at a desk all the time writing plans, my rounded shoulders and forward head almost became a standard feature. When I wear a suit, my shoulder line is always slumped by half. Occasionally, when I work overtime, my shoulders and neck hurt so much that I feel numb even to the back of my head. At the beginning, I followed the practice with the mentality of giving it a try. I didn’t dare to rush into those “quick-start” tutorials. I first watched his long video explaining the basics of exerting force. Every day when I was fishing, I did the wall angel + clavicle slide for 10 minutes against the wall next to the work station.

Speaking of which, I have been in trouble before. I browsed short videos and found a C Ge fake hip width training that was cut to only 15 seconds. I followed it for three days, but my hips didn’t feel and my waist hurt first. Later, I checked his original video and found out that he said at the beginning that you should tighten your core first before moving. I just followed the movements without any preparation. I just did it by myself.

When I was browsing on fitness forums, I saw the two groups of people who were the most quarrelsome. One group praised C Ge as a figure master, saying that after practicing for two months, he easily solved the problem of breast enlargement in the public physical examination. The other group criticized him for his IQ tax, saying that after practicing for half a month, his knees hurt and he had to struggle to go up and down stairs. In fact, there is nothing wrong with what both sides say, but they are applicable to different groups of people.

The ones that are effective are mostly sedentary office workers and students like me. They have gone to the hospital to take X-rays. They have no organic bone disease, no scoliosis of more than 20 degrees, and no congenital joint development abnormalities. They are just minor problems caused by crossing their legs, looking down at mobile phones, and slumping down at their desks all year round. When practicing, they are willing to spend two minutes to find the feeling of strength. It is not just about the appearance of the movements, but you can basically feel the changes after practicing for a few months. There is a buddy in the programmer group I joined before. He works at his desk for 12 hours a day and stretches his head forward almost 40 degrees. After practicing for 4 months, the physiological curvature of the cervical spine has returned a little when taking a cervical spine X-ray.

Scolding is useless or even harmful to the body, or it has pathological problems. For example, my best friend was born with hip dysplasia, and she also has fake hip width. She practiced blindly for half a month and her knees hurt so bad. When she went to the doctor, she was scolded, saying that she couldn't do abductions in this condition.； Either you practice with fragmented editing videos, missing all the basic requirements such as tightening the core and sinking the shoulders, and rely entirely on compensatory force to avoid injury. There are also many veterans in the fitness circle who find fault. They think that many of his movements look simple, but in fact the requirements for force perception are not low. It is easy for novices to find the wrong feeling if there is no one to guide them. It is better to build some basic muscle mass first and then adjust the posture. This is correct. Different schools have different ideas. Traditional fitness is more about "having enough muscle mass and your body will be naturally straight". The idea of rehabilitation department is to adjust the bone structure first and then do functional training. C Ge's method is actually a compromise, simplifying the professional rehabilitation movements and making it suitable for ordinary people who don't want to spend a lot of money to hire a personal trainer and don't have serious problems. It is really cost-effective.

Anyway, when I recommend it to friends around me, the first thing I say is to ask if you have ever gone to the hospital to take a X-ray. Make sure there are no structural problems before practicing slowly. If you are eager for quick success, don’t waste time. After all, you can’t expect to change your bad habits in ten days after ten years of accumulated bad habits, right? If the pain is so severe that it affects your normal life, don't hold on to the video and see a doctor first.
