There are various internal problems occur in the body which deteriorate the health and cause physical problems. To overcome through these deformities and not allow deformities in our body we have to concentrate on various physical activities. Physical activities may be easy or rigorous but we should involve ourselves in some or the other physical activity because physical activities are good source of correcting various deformities.
The General influence of physical activities is as follows:
1. Effect on chest.
2. Effect on organs of movement
3. Effect on muscular pressure
4. Effect on digestion
5. Effect on respiration
6. Effect on heart and blood.
The worst condition of this position is the compression, resulting in contraction, or atleast imperfect development of the upper part of the chest. This kind of deformity may be classed as a more exaggerated, of the various species of spinal curvature, often due to weakness of the dorsal muscle or to inordinate or unregulated growth. The true cause of these displacement is often, if not always, to be found in neglect of proper exercise for the muscles which hold the parts, in their due relationship with each other.
Following are some of the corrective measures:
(1) To minimize or correct kyphosis, some corrective exercise should be done with the help of physical activity. These activities and exercises, should be done under expert medical advice, to improve muscular tone of the stretched muscles. Care should be taken to see that the muscle group that is lacking in tone, should never be too stretched.
(2) For correcting functional flat foot one should exercise by rising on the toes, by climbing stairs on the toes, by rope skipping and by cycling. The foot should be through extreme range of **** motion by voluntary contraction to stretch the shortened soft structures. The emphasis should be upon the physical activities and exercises involving toe flexion, foot an ankle flexion and supination.
(3) Breathing and general coordination physical activities are useful in removing scoliosis deformity.
(4) Swimming with breast stroke style is most useful for correcting scoliosis deformity.
(5) The head carriage and round back may be improved by physical activity and exercise to strength and shorten the extension or back muscles of the neck and upper part of the spine at the same time lengthen the muscles that bend the neck forward. The round shoulder can be corrected by strengthening the shoulder muscles and lengthening the chest muscles.
(6) Physical activity like picking up objects with toes and bending of the toes downwards round a point of resistance can minimize defect of flat foot.
(7) Beam hanging exercises help the spine a lot. Therefore beam hanging with sideward bending to the opposite side of the curve or concavity is recommended.
(8) During physical activities general spinal exercise of flexion, extension, rotation and sideward flexion of the spine should be done.
