Considering our modern way of life: lack of exercise, a long stay at the computer and the lack of regular physical activity, and if you add not always a balanced diet, it is not at all surprising that such a fragile part of the body as the neck suffers one of the first. Indeed, problems with the neck today are found in very young people.
Gymnastics for the neck of Dr. Shishonin developed in the center of Bubnovsky and can be prescribed absolutely to any person who does not even suffer from diseases of the cervical spine. These exercises have no contraindications and are not capable of causing harm, since all movements are natural for our neck and are performed at a very slow, relaxing pace.
After the very exercises for the neck, Shishonin also recommends performing a complex to stretch the neck muscles.
Most exercises for Dr. Shishonin's neck are prescribed for the following patients:
- with hypertension;
- after the transferred traumas;
- insufficient blood supply to the brain;
- frequent dizziness;
- insomnia or vice versa, constant drowsiness;
- increased intracranial pressure;
- regular migraines;
- pain in the neck, problematic movements;
- memory impairment.
Shishonin's exercises not only deprive you of all the above symptoms, but also help you to activate your mental activity, will become a source of new and original ideas, because very often it seems to us that there is not enough freshness in your head. The reason for this condition lies in the weakened blood circulation and lack of brain nutrition.
What causes pain?
Due to the various factors described above, your neck muscles lose their tone, thereby squeezing nerves and blood vessels. At the expense of pinching of nerves and there is pain.
How to perform the exercises?
Shishonin's neck gymnastics at the beginning of the course should be performed daily, and when your neck is already healed, you will be able to perform the complex 3-4 days a week. In addition, when you master exercises, do them in front of the mirror to avoid possible errors. The course of treatment lasts two weeks. Later you can perform gymnastics whenever you want, at work or in front of the computer.
