exercise therapy exercises for children with impaired posture are the most effective method for the prevention and correction of spinal curvature. Modern preschoolers and younger students spend too much time watching TV screens, in school lessons and doing homework. But from the general physical development not only the beauty and harmony of the figure depends, but also the health of many internal organs.

How is physical education and human posture related?

With accelerated growth of the skeleton (at the age of about 7 years), muscle mass increases slightly. Children at this age are drawn out, seem taller and slimmer. But insufficient muscle development leads to the fact that the weak spine, which does not have muscle support, becomes vulnerable to the formation of curves that are unusual for normal physiology.

It is customary to distinguish 2 types of violations:

• curvature of the spine in the sagittal region (natural curves are increased or decreased, stoop occurs, etc.);
• changes in the frontal plane - scoliosis.

As a result, the child has a decrease in the volume of respiratory movements, disruption of the digestive tract, of cardio-vascular system, myopia often develops.

To prevent postural defects, the spine needs a powerful muscular corset. That's what the people around call it spinal column muscles: they support a flexible bone organ in a vertical position, return the vertebrae to physiological state after work (tilts, weight lifting, etc.), when moving, jumping, running, they also play a shock-absorbing role. With undeveloped back muscles in an adult, there are many diseases associated with displacement of the vertebrae.

For the formation strong muscles, which will keep the spine in the correct position, are developed: they are available to children at the age of 5–7 years.

1. Take the stick so that the hands are in front and below. Raising your arms, take your leg back. Return to ip, repeat with the other leg. Perform 6-8 movements. The parent observes that the child bends back at the waist.
2. Take the stick so that it is behind. Hands down, feet together. Rising on your toes, take your hands back as far as possible. Return to I.P. and repeat 4-6 times. The parent makes sure that the child does not bend the elbows and does not lean forward.
3. Stick in front, below. Raise your hands, lower them to your chest, return to SP. Do the exercise 4-5 times. Make sure the child maintains good posture.

At the end of the lesson, walk at a calm pace for 30 seconds. At the same time, the posture should be preserved, to which the parent draws the attention of the child.

Exercise therapy complex for younger students

In first-graders, most often violations are first determined during a medical examination at school. They are the result of insufficient attention to the development of the child before school. But posture can still be corrected by doing daily exercises at home. Daily morning work-out may also contain elements of exercise therapy.

It is already possible for children to take and maintain a control posture: go up to the wall and lean on it with their heels, shins, buttocks, shoulder blades and the back of the head. Do not raise your shoulders. During the warm-up (walking as above) it is important to maintain the control posture.

After a warm-up, a first-grader can perform simple exercises of therapeutic physical culture with the ball, or without the projectile. Follow up on your own correct execution and posture, he is not capable, therefore, the presence of an older family member who can control the practitioner and correct his mistakes is required.

Physical therapy to correct posture may include the following exercises:

1. From i.p. standing, feet shoulder-width apart, pick up the ball (or stick). When raising your hands, look at the object. Lower it to the chest, return to the I.P. Do 5-6 repetitions.
2. Ball in 1 hand. Bring it behind your back, transfer it to the other hand, return to the sp. Follow the control posture. Perform 5-6 movements.
3. Raise your arms with the ball or stick above your head. Spread your elbows out to the sides, bringing your shoulder blades together. Make 4-6 tilts to the left and right.
4. Accept i.p. lying on your back. Raising your legs, spread them to the sides, and then cross. Perform 7–8 movements, return to I.P.
5. Exercise "Bicycle" trains well abdominal wall. Raise your legs and bend at the knees. Simulate the movements of a cyclist for 20-30 seconds.
6. Use the movements of the exercises "Boxer" and "Swallow". Chest lifts with legs pressed to the floor or only legs can be options. You can use a stick, which must be held at shoulder level behind the neck. Repeat movements 4-6 times.

In addition to exercises aimed at developing the muscles of the back, younger students should perform squats at least 10-15 times in 1 lesson. They can be produced without a projectile by stretching the arms forward while bending the legs. In the presence of a stick, it is either held in front or brought behind the back at shoulder level. The latter option contributes to the control of posture by the child himself.

Conclusion

In addition to performing exercise therapy complexes, it is necessary to provide the child with a maximum of physical activity. It can be on foot or cycling trips, skiing and skating, outdoor games.

Therapeutic gymnastics called a whole system of special exercise, which help relieve pain and get rid of a number of serious diseases. Such gymnastics is based on active movements that the child performs independently. In those cases when he is unable to move any part of the body, the help of a specialist is used. It is he who sets in motion individual muscle groups or joints.

the main objective therapeutic gymnastics for children is to restore and strengthen the psychological and physical health. This system of exercises is also used in cases where there is an irreversible defect (transverse paralysis or amputated limb). With its help, the patient learns to perform movements that will replace the functions of the amputated body parts.

Who appoints

The system of exercises is prescribed by the attending physician, and they are carried out by a specialist, trained in a specialized school (kinesitherapist).

"Air letter"

Lay the child on his back, legs need to be closed and lifted up. Ask him to draw in the air with his feet the objects that the ant carries on its back. Let the baby also indicate the direction and speed of movement, draw even the smallest details. This exercise is enough to perform 1 time.

"Swimmer"

Starting position - lying on your stomach. The child must make movements that imitate swimming, while his hands cannot touch the floor. A specialist or one of the parents can offer several situations that the baby should portray. For example: “The dog went to visit his friend, but a river stood in her way. The dog needs to swim across the river, and then get home from the opposite bank.

Do the exercise until the baby is tired enough.

"Walking"

Starting position - standing, hands on the belt. Ask the child to walk one circle around the room on his heels (“Bunny crosses the puddle”), on toes (“Bunny quietly sneaks past the sleeping Fox”), on the outside and on inside feet (“A bear is walking through the forest”).

Exercises of therapeutic gymnastics should not cause negative emotions in children. To get a good result, conduct classes as often as possible - daily or every other day. Physical exercise increase gradually so that the child can adapt.

Video of therapeutic exercises and physical education for delays from 2 to 7 years:

At the age of 7, the child begins to attend school, spends a long time at the desk. Increasing load on nervous system, spine and joints. Nothing affects the health of the baby so badly as hypodynamia.

Exercise therapy helps to increase immunity, strengthen posture, improve blood circulation and activate mental activity.

Exercise therapy not only allows you to treat the existing pathology, but also performs a preventive function. Through regular practice, positive changes occur:

• increases the body's resistance to viruses and bacteria;
• the body acquires resistance to hypothermia, overheating, jumps in atmospheric pressure;
• the work of the brain is activated;
• hyperactivity decreases, the child becomes more attentive and focused;
• the work of endocrine organs is normalized;
• the emotional background improves;
• aerobic exercise develops the respiratory and cardiac systems, helps reduce sensitivity to allergens;
• the body quickly adapts to school loads.

Important! Exercise therapy for children 7 years old helps to form the correct posture, increases the endurance of the body, improves coordination of movements.

Types of exercises

Exercises for children can be divided into 2 types: general strengthening and corrective. The latter are used to treat scoliosis, flat feet and other pathologies. There are static exercises, during which a certain position is maintained, and dynamic exercises - movements of the limbs and torso.

At the age of 7, a child is not able to perform monotonous physical exercises for a long time - he wants something new, interesting, complex.

Therefore, it is important to avoid monotony: alternate types of movements, change gymnastic apparatus, starting positions. Complexes are used with a stick, a ball, near the gymnastic wall.

Exercises are performed standing, sitting on the floor and a chair, lying on a bench and a rug. During the lesson, game and competitive elements should be used - “who will get the highest apple?”, “Who will keep the ball on his head longer?”

Class rules

If the child has a violation of posture, you should visit an orthopedist, take an x-ray of the spine and get the advice of a doctor. You should also assess the capabilities of the body, find out the absence of pathologies - diseases of the heart, joints, tuberculosis.

Important! Any set of exercises should include a warm-up, the main and the final part. The duration of the lesson with children of the 7th year of life is 20-30 minutes.

The training rules are as follows:

Important! A set of exercises for scoliosis of 2-4 degrees is selected individually.

Stretching exercises for scoliosis are best performed on a fitball, and not on the crossbar. All movements are performed at a moderate pace, combined with muscle tension.

Exercises for flat feet

The cause of flat feet is weakness of the muscles and ligaments of the ankle and foot. With flat feet, there is an uneven distribution of the load on the spine and joints, which further threatens with a violation of posture. The sooner therapeutic exercises are started, the faster the foot will acquire the correct position.

1. Walking on toes and heels.
2. Walking on the outside and inside of the foot.

Output

Exercise therapy for children is not only complexes gymnastic exercises. It is useful to practice in the pool, run, ski. If you are working with a child at home, use the most simple exercises but do it regularly.

Many modern children have problems with the musculoskeletal system, most of these disorders occur due to the wrong lifestyle: using gadgets, watching TV, low mobility. The exercise therapy complex for children is able to correct most problems with the spine. Exercise helps not only to solve a specific problem, but also to strengthen the whole body.

Physiotherapy exercises for posture disorders can be not only a way to get rid of shortcomings, but also one of the methods of prevention. The list of diseases for which exercise therapy can be used is very large, it covers completely different areas of medicine.

Indications for the use of the complex:

• pathologies in the work of the cardiovascular system;
• diseases of the central nervous system;
• curvature of the spine;
• disorders of the musculoskeletal system;
• osteochondrosis;
• scoliosis;
• trauma;
• obesity;
• diabetes;
• tuberculosis;
• asthma.

A properly composed set of exercises, with traumatic and other disorders of the musculoskeletal system, gradually restores muscles and promotes joint movement. Gradually, as the exercise therapy complex is performed, blood circulation improves, which prevents stagnation in the form of bruises and hematomas from forming. Also, such exercises can be used to develop limbs with open and closed fractures.

Important! You can not use sets of exercises on your own, without the supervision of a doctor, since exercise therapy has a large list of contraindications, they must be excluded before treatment.

Varieties of complexes and exercises

Doctors think that physiotherapy exercises can include not only specialized complexes for recovery, but also any outdoor activity, for example, outdoor games with children. The main exercise therapy complexes for children can be divided into two types:

• general- this includes exercises to support the entire muscular frame of the body;
• specialized- gymnastics to restore a certain part of the body or organ system that has violations.

The exercises that are included in these complexes are divided into the following types:

• active- constant changes in posture, cardio - exercises in which the pulse rises above the norm;
• passive- static postures for classes with infants, where movements for the child are performed by a specialist or parents, moving his limbs with their own hands.

By nature, we can distinguish: breathing exercises, relaxation, stretching, coordination and corrective exercises.

Exercise rules

Everything types of exercise therapy for any diseases, they must be performed subject to certain rules, this approach will help achieve faster results and protect the patient from complications.

Rules to be observed when performing exercise therapy:

• the load should be applied gradually, you can not tire the baby;
• avoid pain during exercise therapy;
• immediately after eating, you can not practice;
• practice in a ventilated area, but without a draft.

When exercising with babies, before starting the exercises, the baby should be gently stroked so that he gets used to the hands. Older children should perform breathing exercises before moving on to a complex of physical exercises.

The effectiveness of therapeutic exercises and the recovery of a baby in conditions of severe pathologies depends on the combined work of doctors, parents, the child himself, massage therapists and psychologists. Parents should not shift all responsibility to specialists, a lot depends on them.

First of all, the parent must convey to his little child information about the correct posture, why it is needed, how to sit at the table, etc.

You can’t scold children and offend them with words if there is some kind of curvature or violation in posture.

At home, it is necessary to organize life in such a way that it contributes to the restoration:

• furniture and household items should correspond to the growth of the baby;
• when the child sits on a chair, he should rest on the floor with his feet;
• classes should be held strictly according to the schedule, preferably in the morning;
• the regime of the day should be clear, in compliance with the time of work and rest, exercise therapy should also be included in the regime of the day;

IN childhood the whole body and its backbone are being formed, it is important to carefully monitor the growth of the child and notice the slightest flaws that can be easily corrected. It is difficult for an adult to cope with disorders of the spine or the musculoskeletal system, sometimes it is impossible to cure the disease to the end.

Therapeutic exercise for children is not only a method of treating diseases that have already arisen, but also a way to prevent them with the help of physical exercises.

What are the benefits of exercise therapy?

Physical activity is a necessary condition for the normal development of a growing organism, which, unfortunately, adults often forget about. But children's physical education, in addition to therapeutic and preventive, also has an educational function: the baby acquires hygiene skills, learns the world around him and himself in it. Physical therapy exercises are important for the harmonious development of the musculoskeletal system in children of any age, the formation of posture in children of preschool and school age, as well as strengthening the spine and back muscles, and eliminating postural asymmetry in scoliosis.

Exercises are useful for the prevention and treatment of postural disorders, correction of flat feet, development of strength, agility, endurance, normalization of the endocrine system and strengthening of the immune system. Also, classes will be important to improve the adaptation of the child at school, increase resistance to stress, improve academic performance in school-age children and improve the emotional background, hyposensitization (reduction of sensitivity to allergens), as well as general strengthening organism.

Types of loads

Exercises are divided into general, used to strengthen the body as a whole, and special, affecting a specific system, for example, aimed at strengthening the spine, leg and back muscles with scoliosis and flat feet.

Allocate a large class dynamic exercises, which include active and passive movements, and a class of static exercises aimed at maintaining a certain body position. Passive movements are often included in the gymnastics complex for children of the first year of life.

By nature, they distinguish: breathing, corrective, relaxing, stretching, coordination exercises. In babies up to a year, reflex exercises are used. During the preschool period, it is preferable to use a class of game exercises.

• warm-up and cool-down in the form of passive movements;
• stomping in place;
• assisted walking;
• tilt for a toy;
• overstepping the barrier.

Remember that exercise therapy with early age contribute to uniform muscle strengthening, prevention of spinal curvature and the formation of correct posture from childhood, because the main class of disorders in the preschool period is scoliosis and flat feet.

Exercises for scoliosis and gait disorders

The main task in scoliosis is to strengthen the muscles of the back and create muscle corset to maintain the correct position of the spine. Remember: Your child may need individual complex posture correction, for the development of which you need to contact a specialist! With rapidly progressive scoliosis (with an increase in the angle of curvature of the spine more than 10 degrees during the year), surgery may be required!
