Posture Correction Course Tianjin

Courses offered by the rehabilitation department of local public hospitals in Tianjin, independent studio courses with a professional background in sports rehabilitation, and comprehensive correction courses with regular bone-setting institutions and muscle training - the premise is to first check whether you have pathological bone problems, and don't practice blindly.

In the first half of the year, I helped my sister who went to the Nankai laboratory every day to find classes, and I ran into a lot of pitfalls. At first, I signed up for the 99912-session "Exclusive Round Shoulder Correction Class" at an internet celebrity gym on Binjiang Road. The coach came up and pushed her to practice YTWL and horizontal bar hanging. After practicing for half a month, my shoulders hurt so much that I couldn’t lift them up. I went to Tianjin Hospital to take a X-ray and found out that her high and low shoulders and rounded shoulders were not a problem with her upper body at all, but a pelvic tilt caused by crossing her legs and sitting crookedly all the time.

There is actually no unified standard in the current posture correction circle in Tianjin. Teachers with different backgrounds have very different ideas. There is no absolute right or wrong. The key is to match your situation. For example, in the rehabilitation studio next to Tianjin Hospital that my sister went to later, the teacher graduated from Beijing Sports Rehabilitation School with a bachelor's degree and a clinical degree. Their logic was "evaluate first and then correct". In the first class, they only measured her foot arch, measured the length of her lower limbs, and checked the mobility of her spine. It only took two hours, and we asked for the X-rays of the cervical spine that we had taken before. The final plan did not touch the shoulders at all. First, adjust the pelvis, and then practice core breathing twice a week. After two months of practice, now the height difference between shoulders is no longer noticeable, and the neck pain is gone. This kind of course is suitable for people who already have pain, or have mild scoliosis/physiological curvature straightening. The disadvantage is that it is a bit expensive, a single class costs about 300, but it is very targeted and will not cause problems by practicing blindly. Oh, by the way, the last time I accompanied my sister to class, I met a young man who worked as a chauffeur. He leaned on his waist while driving every day. I signed up for a fitness class before, which made my lumbar protrusion aggravated. I stopped all strength training and did three weeks of breathing and core adjustment, and the pain symptoms basically disappeared.

There are also many people who think fitness classes are enough, which are body posture classes offered by chain gyms or small group class studios. I have a friend who is an Internet operator. His shoulders are a bit rounded when he checks his mobile phone every day, but he has no other pain symptoms. He signed up for small group classes at a studio near Joy City. The instructor holds an NSCA-CSCS certificate. Every class takes them to practice shoulder and back strength and adjust their sitting and standing habits. After three months, their shoulders have opened up a lot, and their whole temperament has changed. This kind of class is cost-effective, with a single class costing almost over 100, but the premise is that you must first confirm that the coach really understands evaluation, and is not giving everyone a general template to practice, otherwise it will be easy to get more injured with practice like my sister did at the beginning.

There is also a type of correction course offered by many old bone-setting clinics in Tianjin, which is a method of bone-setting + training. My colleague used to have a stiff neck and high and low shoulders caused by working crookedly for many years. He went to an bone-setting clinic in Hongqiao District that has been open for more than 20 years. However, the probability of getting into trouble in this type of class is high. If you have osteoporosis or spinal spondylolisthesis, don’t just have your bones straightened. Failure to do so can lead to serious problems.

To be honest, if you are not sure about your condition, I suggest you first go to the rehabilitation department of Tianjin Hospital or TEDA Hospital to register and ask the doctor to check whether you have any pathological problems. They sometimes offer public posture correction classes, which cost more than ten yuan per class. They are all taught by regular rehabilitation practitioners, and they are very cost-effective. If you are in Xiqing University Town or Haihe Education Park, you can also look for studios run by students from Tianjin Institute of Physical Education or newly graduated teachers. There are many discounts for students, and the evaluation is careful. Several college students around me have been trained there, and the feedback is good.

Don’t believe the propaganda that “corrects XO-shaped legs in 7 days” and “cures scoliosis in 10 days”. It’s purely IQ. Postural problems are accumulated over several years. How can it be cured in just ten days? Now that my sister has adjusted it, she still practices core movements for 10 minutes at home every day. This kind of thing depends on class for 30% and daily habits for 70%. Otherwise, even if she has adjusted it temporarily, she will still have to sit crookedly and cross her legs every day.
