Chengdu Posture Correction Training Course

Priority is given to institutions with rehabilitation therapist qualifications and 500+ practical cases in Nanmen High-tech and Dongmen Chenghua Sports and Health Park. Institutions with pure fitness instructor background are more suitable for pure posture adjustment needs without pain symptoms; common problems of forward head extension, high and low shoulders, and forward pelvic tilt for ordinary people can be seen with the naked eye in 4-8 weeks of systematic training. Anyone who claims a 7-day quick fix and promises to radically cure scoliosis above 20 degrees is IQ tax and does not need to be considered.

In the past two months, I visited nearly 8 institutions with my patient who has been sitting for a long time, from a small community studio opened by the provincial team doctor to an Internet celebrity chain on Chunxi Road. I don’t know how deep the water is.

Nowadays, Chengdu’s posture correction institutions basically take two approaches. There is no right or wrong, it’s just that the people they adapt to are different. The first type is prescribed by the rehabilitation department of the hospital or the doctor of the sports team. The logic is more medical. When you go there, you will first take an X-ray of the whole spine. You must also ask clearly which shoe you usually wear and which leg is used to cross your legs. The training first relaxes the tight contracted muscles, then adjusts the force mode, and finally strengthens the strength of the weak side. The fee is about 200-400 per class. It is suitable for people who already have back pain or even mild scoliosis. When I was a child, I finally chose the one on Tianfu Third Street. He had pain in his waist after standing for an hour before. After 6 classes, I accompanied him to Chunxi Road to grab limited-edition milk tea last week, and he didn’t even complain of pain after shopping for three hours.

The other type is those who are certified fitness instructors who turn to correction. Their logic is more sports performance-oriented and they will not take pictures right away. It mainly depends on your standing and walking movement patterns. Adjustment relies more on muscle activation + targeted strength training. The fee is 150-300 per session.

It’s no wonder that many people say that posture correction is all about cutting leeks. I have been through this trap myself the year before last. The salesperson at the Internet celebrity store on Chunxi Road took me and looked in the mirror for two minutes and then said that my shoulders were too high and my shoulders would be compressed if I kept dragging them. If I signed up for the 7-day crash course, they could help me figure it out. I had a right-angled shoulder. During class, the teacher pushed my shoulder hard and pulled it away. It was so painful that I burst into tears on the spot. It was difficult to lift my arm the next day. Later, I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with a slight rotator cuff strain. A mechanism that relies on violence to straighten it can really hide as far away as possible.

Don’t be led away by sales when you go to a trial class. First look at the teacher’s certificate hanging on the wall, such as the rehabilitation therapist qualification certificate and the American NASM’s CES correction certification. These are hard thresholds. Self-proclaimed titles such as “senior posture manager” and “senior posture consultant” are worthless. During the trial class, you can deliberately say that you usually cross your legs. If the teacher comes up and asks you to practice glute bridge, it will probably be half-hearted. A reliable teacher will first feel the tension of your quadratus lumborum muscles on both sides, loosen the shortened side, and then adjust your center of gravity for standing force, and finally arrange strength training for you. Oh, yes, there is a well-hidden store on Yulin West Road. The owner used to be the team doctor for the provincial badminton team. The studio is located in a commercial building at the bottom of an old neighborhood. The charges are one-third cheaper than in the business district. You just need to make an appointment a week in advance. Friends who live west of the South Gate can try their luck.

Actually, to be honest, registering for classes is just a help. I found that now that the class is over, I still set the alarm to stand up for five minutes every hour. If you happen to be looking for a related class recently and are not sure whether it is reliable, you can also leave a message and I will help you refer to it. After all, I have not traveled in vain for more than half a month.
