Sitting in the office every day, stiff shoulders and neck? This set of Ba Duan Jin movements is specially designed to cure “computer people”
“My shoulders feel like they are being pressed by a stone”, “The back of my neck feels like it’s burning”, “Sometimes my head even feels stuffy” – If you are also an office worker who spends more than 6 hours in front of a computer every day, you must be familiar with these symptoms.
People who sit for long periods of time are quietly being dragged down by “chronic tension”
The upper body keeps leaning forward, causing the thoracic spine to lock, the shoulders to move forward, and the cervical spine to be compressed. Breathing becomes shallow, blood supply decreases, and lymphatic circulation slows down… The result is: not only tired, but also “unable to recover.”
There are several movements in Ba Duan Jin that are designed specifically for this type of high-pressure office workers:
1. Draw the bow left and right like shooting an eagle: stretch the shoulders and back, expand the chest, and improve the “chest-holding and round-shoulder” posture;
2. Lift the three energizers with both hands: relieve stiffness in the shoulders and neck, and improve the blood circulation in the upper energizer;
3. Look back to relieve the five labors and seven injuries: enhance the rotation force of the neck and improve the dizziness and fatigue caused by “cervical stiffness”.
Just practice 10 to 15 minutes during lunch break every day to achieve the effect of quick “reset” and relaxation.
It’s not that you are exhausted, it’s that you are not “adjusted”
It’s not that you can’t stick to work, but that you haven’t established a rhythm for self-repair.
Ba Duan Jin is that rhythm. It is not the “ultimate solution” for curing diseases, but it is a gentle way for you to “save yourself” under high-pressure life.
