At the center of the chin, neck and clavicle, the body will not be crooked at 3 o'clock on the 1 line.
I believe many people will feel their faces crooked when they see their photos.
People who usually have a headache or neck pain are likely to be in a skewed state between the front end of the mandible and the central axis of the neck.
Patients who often feel pain or dizziness, but their feet are unstable and have problems above the neck, if they observe their body shape from the side, they will find that their jaws are raised; From the front, you will find that the nose and neck are not in a straight line. In other words, their heads are not directly above their necks.
If you keep this state for a long time, the suboccipital muscle and sternocleidomastoid muscle, which are responsible for controlling the head movement, will become stiff, causing dizziness, headache, out-of-focus eyes, fatigue, mental retardation and other problems. Stiffness of these two muscles may also lead to symptoms similar to autonomic nervous disorder.
In addition, due to the uneven growth of long and short feet and left and right abdominal muscles, the chin (head) will be skewed, so it is not only necessary to correct the position of the chin to improve all discomfort symptoms.
When the pelvis and spine are skewed, people will subconsciously tilt their heads (faces) in order to keep their sight level. At this time, the neck joints and muscles will play a role in correcting the body skew angle. In order to solve the problem fundamentally, it is necessary to keep the pelvis and the left and right shoulders (the front end of the clavicle) level.
↑ People who usually have headaches or neck pains are likely to have the front end of the mandible and the central axis of the neck skewed. When viewed from the side, they will find that the chin is rising. Next, please stand in front of the mirror and observe the following three places:
1. The depression in the center of clavicle 2. The anterior end of mandible 3. The central axis of the neck
The central axis of the mandible and neck should be in a straight line with the central point of the clavicle, so that the body can maintain the correct position and support the weight of the head evenly. Being in an oblique state for a long time will not only lead to muscle stiffness around the neck and shoulders, but also accelerate the deformation of cervical intervertebral discs and joints, which will seriously endanger health. When looking in the mirror, if you feel that these three points are not in a straight line, it means that one side of your body or your head is in a skewed state, which has become a "normal state".
↑ The depression of the central axis of the jaw, neck and clavicle should be in a straight line to keep the body in the correct position. The weight balancer of the whole body-mandible, weighing about 1 kg, is fixed by the lateral muscles of the head. When malocclusion and jaw position deviate due to injury, it will cause asymmetric pressure on temporomandibular joint and the first cervical vertebra, which will lead to systemic disorder.
The mandible plays an important role in sensing gravity changes. Once the body is skewed, the lower jaw will feel it immediately, and then provide the necessary information to the brain to control the body posture and adjust the body balance.
The front teeth of the lower jaw also help to keep the body balanced. In fact, it is more difficult for people with missing front teeth to control their head position. In other words, the mandible plays the role of "hidden center of gravity balancer" and keeps the correct body posture at all times.
When the jaw retracts inward, the switch will be turned on, and the pelvis will tilt forward to adjust the body posture.
When the jaw is pushed outward, the switch will be turned off, and the pelvis will lean back, forming a hunchback posture. The chin is a switch to adjust posture. Do you know there is a "switch" in the body?
The switch of the body is the chin.
When the jaw retracts inward, the switch will open and be in the "on" state; When the jaw is pushed out, the switch will be closed and be in the "off" state.
As soon as the switch is turned on, the body will start to adjust its posture. "Adjusting posture" means adjusting the spine, that is, adjusting the function of the spinal cord.
Improving spinal cord function can promote the systemic functions of neuromuscular system, respiratory and circulatory system, digestive system, urinary system and reproductive system.
The mandible can make the heavy head directly above the trunk, make the spine in the most stable state (neutral position), and use the "bone" to support the weight of the upper body. This can greatly reduce the burden on the neck and waist and effectively prevent and improve the symptoms of shoulder pain and low back pain.
In recent years, the importance of breathing has surfaced again, and the necessary condition for good breathing is to breathe through the nose. Nasal breathing can activate nasal mucosa and brain. Contraction of the lower jaw and keeping the tongue close to the inside of the maxillary teeth can naturally promote nasal breathing.
Pelvic recession, backache and backache are all due to mandibular extrapolation! When the switch is turned off by pushing the lower jaw outward, the pelvis will lean backwards, forming a hunchback posture. At this time, the spine is extremely unstable, and the body can only rely on "muscles" and "ligaments" to support the weight of the upper body. Different from the characteristics of bones, muscles and ligaments can not bear long-term sustained loads, and gradually accumulate injuries and pressures, resulting in various pains and physical dysfunction. Skewness of the spine will lead to spinal cord skew, which will lead to the decline of systemic function.
What's more, when the jaw is pushed out, the mouth will be half open and the nose can't breathe in. In order to maintain life activities, the human body will use the muscles of the shoulders and neck to help breathing. This is the cause of chronic shoulder pain.
Almost everyone has experienced shoulder pain and low back pain. The posture of these people in daily life is that their jaws are pushed out and they are in a "closed" state.
If you want to know the "switch function" of the chin, you can try to do the following actions: push the wall hard and lift and retract the chin at the same time. So you can feel that the way of force transmission is very different.
Anyone who has played golf knows that if the chin is raised when swinging, the upper body will be unstable, which will also affect the speed of twisting; Lower your chin, not only will your upper body not move like a mountain, but you can also twist your waist quickly and improve your swing speed.
When I was watching the marathon on TV, I heard the anchor say, "The runners' chins are tilted, and it looks quite painful. Lifting the mandible will cause the pelvis to lean backward, and the spine will not maintain an S-shape, thus reducing the force of forward movement.
When a person is physically weak, he can't keep his chin contracted during strenuous exercise. Even if you know how important it is to shrink your chin, as long as you can't hold your breath, your chin will naturally rise and your head will lean forward. In this way, the center of gravity of the body will move backwards, greatly reducing the propulsion. Try to lift your chin and move forward. I believe there will be a feeling that your walking speed will obviously slow down.
If you observe the movement patterns of people who are not good at sports, you will find that they often raise their jaws and deviate from the neutral position. If you want to improve, you must consciously change chin lifting to chin shrinking according to your living conditions and health status, and switch the "off" mode to "on" mode.
↑ Put your forefinger on your chin and gently press inward. The pelvis will naturally lean forward and straighten your waist at the same time. Do it now! A relaxed and healthy sitting posture-"The sitting posture of the general" In a series of works about the Warring States period in Japan, I have never seen a general sitting with his back bowed and his head depressed. As soon as the general sits down, he will spread his legs and straighten his back muscles, showing a majestic momentum. I call this posture "general sitting posture". Stretching your legs can stabilize your posture and make you sit longer.
Let's have a try. Sit in a chair with your legs 40 degrees apart, chin down and nod. This posture can make the sole stick to the ground and stabilize the waist posture; On the contrary, when you sit with your legs together, you can't straighten your waist even if you shrink your chin, and you will bow when you sit up.
Sitting with your legs open can not only spread your weight to the ground, but also control your posture with your chin.
It is believed that the ancestors did not sit with their legs open in order to improve their health, but just adopted a "general sitting posture" according to their own feelings. From the biomechanical point of view, this sitting posture is very beneficial to the body.
Shoulders are sore and the waist is not straight, so more and more people are troubled by it for a long time! However, many people stick it wherever they feel pain. Although it is immediate, it recurs from time to time, even causing chronic pain and long-term harm. "Chin, shoulders, neck and waist don't hurt! Ito and Ma, authors of Headache and Insomnia, pointed out that if you want to fundamentally improve soreness, you must start with lifestyle. The key is the chin! Adjust your posture from shrinking your chin, and your body will naturally be energetic!

Focus 1. Head back to the right position, so that the shoulders, neck and waist will not hurt! Studies have confirmed that when the head deviates from the correct position, every 2.5 cm forward protrusion will increase the muscle load extending from the head to the neck and shoulders by 4 kg.
Suppose a person weighing 70kg has a protruding head 10cm, and the original weight of the head, there is a load of 2 1 ~ 25kg hanging on the neck muscles and ligaments, which is equivalent to hanging 1 bucket around his neck at work and pouring 2 1 ~ 25l of water into the bucket for 6 ~ 8 hours every day.
In the medical field, this posture that looks like the head sliding forward is called "head dislocation (HFP)". Once suffering from HFP, the vertebral artery that transports blood to the bottom of the brain will be pulled, narrowing the blood vessels, making the brain unable to receive enough blood and oxygen, which may lead to cerebral anemia.
On the other hand, the height of desks used by almost all enterprises does not meet the height of employees, so employees have to work in incorrect postures. Such a working environment will not only cause shoulder pain, but also cause low back pain. Many people regard shoulder pain and low back pain as two different symptoms. In fact, these two symptoms often appear at the same time.
In addition, when the muscles responsible for the retraction of the tongue and mandible are overstressed and hardened, the mandible will be pushed forward and the mouth will be slightly opened. Being in this state for a long time will increase the risk of temporomandibular joint deformation and cephalic pain.
The correct position of the head. When the head deviates from the correct position, every 2.5 cm forward, the muscles extending from the head to the neck and shoulders will increase the load by 4 kg. Causes the superficial temporal artery to be compressed, which in turn causes headaches. Key point 2. Shrink your chin and naturally develop the habit of breathing through your nose! Breathing is affected by posture. If you don't improve your posture, you can't improve your breathing quality. As mentioned above, once suffering from HFP, the tension of hyoid muscles will make the tongue droop and the mouth open. When the tongue hangs down and the mouth is open, you can't breathe through your nose. Try breathing through your nose when you open your mouth. You will find it difficult to breathe in this position, so you must breathe through your mouth. The disadvantage of oral breathing is that the amount of oxygen inhaled each time is insufficient, so it is necessary to increase the number of breaths. As soon as the number of breaths increases, the sympathetic nerve will be activated. In this way, it will lead to anxiety, tension, anger and other negative emotions.
In addition, in this state, breathing through the nose cannot act on the main muscle (diaphragm), but the shoulder and neck muscles help to inhale, which is also the cause of chronic shoulder pain. In fact, all patients with chronic shoulder pain suffer from HFP, and they all breathe through their mouths.
Inhalation through the nose and oxygen inhalation through the mucosa is helpful to promote brain function.
Breathing through the mouth will reduce head function. When you have a stuffy nose, you usually feel uncomfortable and dizzy near your eyebrows. I believe many people have had this experience. Although oxygen can be inhaled through the nose or mouth, it will make people feel sluggish if it is blocked.
Although there are few top athletes who breathe through their mouths. However, if they can be taught to keep the correct posture in training, and at the same time keep their tongues close to the upper jaw and breathe through their noses, their sports performance can be further improved. Breathing through the mouth can not only stabilize the trunk, but also reduce the inhalation volume and the limit value of the body.
The easy way to improve the head malocclusion is to put the tongue close to the upper jaw, the upper and lower teeth are not closed, and the gap of tongue thickness is opened. In this state, the mouth will naturally close and the head will not lean forward.
In other words, as long as the tongue is tightly attached to the upper jaw, the lower jaw, which is prone to drooping due to gravity, will be in a horizontal state, and the small muscle group in front of the neck, which is responsible for supporting the head, will start to operate to prevent the head and cervical vertebra from shaking left and right. In addition, drooping tongue will eventually lead to drooping eyelids and decreased vision. As long as the tongue is attached to the upper jaw and the mouth is closed, the corner of the eye will be lifted and the vision will be enhanced.
Shrink your chin and turn on your switch from today!
When the tongue is close to the palate, you can breathe through your nose, which has many benefits. No bow! The neck is stiff and atrophied, and all diseases follow. According to statistics, 70% people have experienced neck pain, and low back pain is a problem. If shoulder pain is added, the annual work injury allowance for neck pain is second only to low back pain, which is the second of all symptoms. Because the recurrence rate of neck pain is quite high, the symptoms of 60% patients last for several years. Even if the pain disappears, the unnatural posture made before to avoid the pain and the narrowing of the range of motion of the neck will continue for some time, which also makes many patients feel uncomfortable.
There are so many patients with neck pain, why didn't they pay attention to it in the past? On the contrary, shoulder pain and back pain attract more attention? The neck and shoulders are closely connected, so it is hard for me to understand why the problem of neck pain has been ignored.
The neck not only supports the weight of the head but also protects the spinal cord. It must maintain a certain fluidity (softness), so its natural structure is quite complex and fragile. Because the neck is a difficult part to treat, the general hospitals or clinics rarely treat neck pain as their main appeal.
In recent years, desks and chairs designed based on ergonomics have become more and more popular, greatly improving the working environment of office workers. It stands to reason that there should be fewer and fewer patients with shoulder pain and low back pain. Unexpectedly, as more and more people use computers, smart phones or play mobile games at home and at work, there are more and more cases of neck pain and low back pain. Even many primary school students have headaches, sore shoulders and low back pain.
What is worrying is that modern people hang their heads all day, regardless of gender or age. From the results, bow posture is the source of all diseases and the cause of neck injury and neck pain.
When the chin is lifted upward, the suboccipital muscles extending from the first to second cervical vertebrae to the occipital bone will shrink and become stiff. ↑ (The three lines from top to bottom are the greater occipital nerve, cervical semi-spinous muscle and capitulum): The capitulum and cervical semi-spinous muscle are compressed, causing headaches. Stiff neck makes your eyesight degenerate and dizzy. In the past, the medical profession always thought that dizziness and vain footsteps were caused by the dysfunction of vestibular system (sense of master-slave balance) and visual system. However, in recent years, some research reports have pointed out that once the suboccipital muscles extending from the first to the second cervical vertebrae to the occipital bone contract and become stiff, they will also cause dizziness, vain footsteps and other symptoms. In order to maintain the balance of the body, the suboccipital muscles will be connected in series with the visual system, vestibular organs, sensory and motor systems to transmit necessary information to the brain. If the suboccipital muscles or peripheral muscles (head pliers and neck semi-spinous muscles) become stiff due to fatigue accumulation or neck trauma, it will not only reduce the amount of blood flowing into the brain, but also make the information collected by other organs wrong, leading to unstable posture, low eye movement function, dizziness and other symptoms.
When the suboccipital muscles are stiff, even if all organs transmit relevant information to the brain, the suboccipital muscles can't process relevant information in real time, so the scenery we see will be divorced from thinking, just like watching movies or walking on clouds, which is unrealistic. I really want to do things, but my brain can't keep up with the rhythm. When I want to talk, I feel that another person is talking, and I have a feeling of split personality. Stiff neck, fear of chronic.
The cervical vertebra consists of seven bone fragments, the upper three are called "upper cervical vertebra" and the lower four are called "lower cervical vertebra". The structure and function of upper cervical vertebra and lower cervical vertebra are different. The main function of the upper cervical vertebra is to support the head weight and control the head movements. The function of the lower cervical spine is to support the weight of the head and control the whole neck movement.
When the muscles, ligaments and joints attached to the lower cervical spine have problems, the arms and hands are prone to pain and paralysis. On the other hand, if there is something wrong with the tissue attached to the upper cervical vertebra, it will not only bring about systemic disorder, but also endanger mental health, and even increase the risk of "cervicogenic headache" caused by stiff neck muscles.
In recent years, more and more young people suffer from chronic headaches, which has attracted the attention of the medical community. Chronic headaches can be divided into three types: migraine, tension headache and group headache. About 70% of headaches are tension headaches, which are caused by muscle tension in the head and contraction of blood vessels and nerves.
It is difficult to find enough information to diagnose the real cause of headache just by examining the head. If you want to explore the root cause of headache, you must check it together with the muscle stiffness of neck, shoulder to back and the movement mode of neck joints.
