Posture correction training class Guangzhou

Paid/charitable small classes set up by the rehabilitation department of public hospitals, correction courses directly operated by professional sports rehabilitation institutions, and special posture adjustment courses launched by fitness studios. The three types of adaptable groups are different. The risk of failure from low to high is public hospital

I just helped my sister who has been sedentary for a long time to pick up a round. She has rounded shoulders that are 4 centimeters forward, and she also has idiopathic scoliosis of 17 degrees. I have been through the pitfalls of Internet celebrity studios, and also followed the provincial medical rehabilitation class for two months, and I am familiar with this kind of local training classes in Guangzhou.

In fact, there are two ideas about posture correction in the industry now. There is no absolute right or wrong, it just suits different people. One group is the "pathology first" principle that hospitals and regular rehabilitation institutions believe in. The doctors from the Provincial Medical Rehabilitation Department that I contacted said that organic diseases must first be ruled out for postural problems, such as whether there is a lumbar disc herniation or whether the scoliosis exceeds 20 degrees. If it has reached a pathological level, the first thing to do is medical intervention, and then cooperate with targeted rehabilitation training. It cannot be solved by just practicing a few shoulder-opening movements. The rehabilitation departments of Zhongshan First Hospital, Provincial People's Hospital, and Nanfang Hospital in Guangzhou now have regular small classes, with 10 classes per cycle, each lasting 45 minutes. The people in the class are all patients with similar problems. There are doctors and rehabilitation therapists watching the movements. The price is about 300 per session, which is cheaper and more reliable than outside institutions. The only drawback is that it is difficult to make an appointment, and sometimes you have to wait in line for more than half a month. There are also chain rehabilitation institutions such as Longji Kang and Chili Power, which also have corresponding correction classes. Their assessments are more detailed, and they can also arrange 1-on-1 classes. They are suitable for people who are short on time and don’t want to wait for a hospital number. However, the price is a bit more expensive, 500-800 per session.

Of course, this does not mean that all non-hospital classes are unreliable. If your problem is not serious enough to call a doctor, fitness studio classes are more cost-effective. The other school of thought is the popular "muscle compensatory adjustment" idea in the fitness circle. It is believed that most postural problems that are not pathological are caused by imbalanced muscle tension caused by long-term bad habits. Tense muscles pull the bones out of shape, and weak muscles cannot exert force. As long as the tense muscles are relaxed and the weak muscles are strengthened, the posture will naturally be correct. Nowadays, fitness studios of all sizes in Guangzhou are basically offering this type of class, including large Pilates equipment and functional training on mats. If you just sit for a long time and have rounded shoulders, and you always feel that your breasts are not good-looking when taking photos, and you don’t have obvious pain or numbness in your hands and feet, it is enough to take this type of class. Several girls working in new media around me took Pilates classes for a month in order to look good on camera when shooting short videos, and they looked really tall and straight. If you have a limited budget, the group classes of Super Orangutan and LeKe also have thematic classes on posture correction. Each session only costs fifty or sixty yuan. It is suitable to test the waters first and see if you can persist. Don’t buy tens of thousands of private lessons in a hurry and end up gathering dust.

To be honest, I went through many pitfalls when I helped my sister find classes, and I also heard from many friends in the industry how deep the water is. Don't believe those hyped advertisements, such as "Build right-angled shoulders in 7 days" and "Cure scoliosis in 10 sessions". They are just cutting leeks. The bones of adults have long been fixed. Even if it is mild scoliosis, the muscles on both sides can only be balanced through training to prevent the degree from deepening. It is impossible to completely return it to a completely straight state. If it were so amazing, the hospital's rehabilitation department would have been closed long ago. Also, when you go to consult for the first time, if the other party does not even conduct a basic posture assessment, nor does he ask you if you have a history of pain, nor does he measure the difference between your height and low shoulders, or the tilt angle of your pelvis, and urges you to buy a course, then turn around and leave. For a formal institution, no matter what school it is, the first step is to figure out what your problem is, and it is impossible to prescribe medicine for you right away.

I also met a young girl who just graduated last week. In order to take a good-looking graduation photo, she spent 20,000 yuan to sign up for a posture class at an Internet celebrity studio. As a result, her waist twisted after a week of training. After going to the hospital for a checkup, she found out that she had a problem with the straightening of the lumbar spine. The coach asked her to do planks and deadlifts every day, which directly aggravated the problem. In fact, if someone like her just wants to look good in photos, she can find a Pilates instructor with ACE rehabilitation certification or a national rehabilitation therapist certificate, take four or five classes, and learn how to lower her shoulders and tighten her core, so that she will naturally stand up when taking pictures. It doesn't cost that much money at all.

In general, there are really many choices for posture correction training classes in Guangzhou, and it depends on the person. The key is that you must first figure out what your needs are, whether you want to solve pain, control pathological problems, or just want to adjust minor problems in appearance. If you find the corresponding class, you will basically not step into too big a trap. If you are really not sure, just spend a few dozen yuan to take a trial class first to feel the professionalism of the coach, which is more useful than reading hundreds of Internet celebrity recommendations on the Internet.
