Dance and gymnastics classes, hiking and cycling – any dynamic activity is good for the body. However, most people spend a lot of time in a sedentary position, and relaxation consists of scrolling through social networks while lying in bed.
Unfortunately, a person is reminded of the need to move by painful sensations in the neck, back, joints. Then we start to turn our heads, stretch, “crunch” the neck. But if you do not take action in time, it will only get worse. As a result of hypodynamia (sedentary lifestyle), osteochondrosis, intervertebral disc protrusions, hemorrhoids, etc. occur.
