"Hitting a tree can improve your health"? Wrong! Be careful of serious problems

In the park in the morning

Have you ever seen such an old man?

They stood in front of a tree

It can be pine, cypress, poplar, sycamore

Relax and be still, and let your mind merge with the tree

As if people and trees are one

After a while

They rammed their backs or limbs into trees

They think

I have a bad back when I am old.

Hitting a tree with your body can stimulate acupuncture points and meridians

“Ancient method of hitting a tree”? Not reliable!

Recent

There are many short videos on social platforms teaching the elderly how to stay healthy by hitting trees

It is claimed that hitting a tree can clear the meridians and strengthen the body.

The topic of hitting trees to maintain health remains popular on social platforms

Many middle-aged and elderly people believe that the back meridians are more

Hitting a tree can stimulate the meridians

Achieve the effect of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation

A health blogger demonstrates in front of a tree

Teach you the "Ancient Tree-Bumping Exercise"

She raised her hands

Keep banging your back against the tree trunk rhythmically.

"We have many acupuncture points on our backs.

Hit it like this every day,

It can dredge the meridians and make the body more comfortable.”

The shirtless middle-aged man said

I hit the tree 200 times every day for 5 years

No cold in 5 years

But does this exercise really work?

Doctor Sun Jianfeng's analysis

Many elderly people suffer from back pain, frozen shoulder, osteoporosis pain, thoracolumbar degenerative pain, etc.

The appropriate treatment method should be selected according to the different causes

To achieve better treatment results

Blindly hitting a tree may turn a protrusion into a dislocation, or a loosening into a fracture.

Leading to more serious bodily harm

Hitting a tree and causing retinal detachment

Some elderly people think

I cured my frozen shoulder by hitting the tree

Sun Jianfeng pointed out

"It's actually just the spontaneous healing of frozen shoulder, and has nothing to do with the tree-hitting exercise."

Shoulder periarthritis is self-limiting or will heal over time

Some elderly people even hit themselves harder and harder.

This move is "very likely to damage the rotator cuff"

Diseases that can be cured with conservative treatment

Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery is required

There are precedents of injuries caused by "hitting a tree"

Previously

A 70-year-old man in Wuhan was injured in a morning exercise because he "hit a tree"

Caused retinal detachment

70-year-old Mr. Zhang relieves back and leg pain

Tried the morning exercise of hitting the tree with the body

after

He felt "mosquitoes flying" in his right eye

The color of the objects has changed.

Green leaves turn reddish purple

The sun at noon doesn't seem to be glaring

After a doctor's examination

It turned out that the retina had detached

Experts say

Uncle Zhang felt as if mosquitoes were flying in his eyes

It's actually the vitreous body pulling on the retina.

Symptoms of hiatus formation

When the elderly get older

Degeneration of the vitreous body in the eye

Once a severe collision occurs

Retinal detachment may occur

Why is the scientific validity of hitting trees to maintain health still questionable?

Often, you only need to make a simple inference to understand

If you tap the meridian acupoints, you can maintain your health

Isn't it a small hammer?

Just tap it anytime, anywhere.

The bump was bruised and purple

This tastes bad

The most feared thing is that fitness fails but hurts the body

Don’t be too wild in your fitness routine

How “wild” are the fitness methods of today’s elderly people?

Except hitting the tree

Fitness in the park is no longer a new thing

360-degree loop, tree climbing, push-ups, hanging upside down

Each of them has unique skills

Convincing

The human sun chariot

360 degree rotation

Absolutely king level

Many people feel that there are many experts among the people

These stunts

Not everyone can learn it.

Acrobatic moves

Most young people can't handle it.

People get older

More fragile bones

Strenuous exercise is not recommended

Weird ways increase the risk factor

Take "hanging neck" for example

There is a possibility of direct damage to the nerves and spinal cord

Severe cases may even lead to high paraplegia

When the wild road is refreshing

The call for scientific fitness is endless

Strengthen the supply of fitness equipment

Widespread dissemination of scientific knowledge

Relatives and children should also explain

As the saying goes, "old child"

Many elderly people have some childish behaviors

From a medical perspective, science is important

Irregular movements not only fail to achieve the effect of exercise

And it will damage the body

Reminder again

Don't easily believe in the so-called folk fitness "prescriptions"

Avoid physical harm
