Antigravity muscles are those that work to maintain postures, whether standing, sitting or lying down, supporting the force of gravity. They are located on the front and back of the thighs, legs, abdomen, chest and neck.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The antigravity muscles, our balance axes.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each part balances each other, stretching and contracting. Just to stand or sit we are using some of them that go against the effects of gravity. Therefore, they would be muscles<\/strong> that tend to remain contracted and where more fatigue would accumulate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When all the antigravity muscles are in the optimal state, they balance between the entire set and any distortion of the body is corrected.<\/strong> If one has bad postural habits<\/strong> In your daily life, the antigravity muscles memorize that anatomically incorrect posture and maintain it. Thus, chronic distortions form, such as, for example, abnormal muscle contractions that can cause low back pain or shoulder stiffness.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The implications of a sedentary life.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For example, whether standing or sitting work<\/strong>, when a person is usually in the same posture<\/a> For a long time, the antigravity muscles active to maintain that posture become more fatigued and contract. It turns out that the balance between the entire set is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n

For this reason, those people should perform physical activity such as stretches or small exercises<\/a><\/strong> from time to time to counteract accumulated muscle tension. Above all, people who work sitting for a long time do not use their legs, so the antigravity muscles of the lower extremities weaken and atrophy. As a result, as I said before, the balance of the antigravity muscles of the entire body is lost<\/strong>, and this causes an inability to maintain proper posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid this, you should also do moderate physical exercise such as walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanations about antigravity muscles.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The National Institute of Public Health<\/strong>, an organization affiliated with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Welfare, explains what antigravity muscles are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026In human bipedalism these muscles work to always maintain a correct posture<\/strong> and efficient against<\/strong> the tensions caused by the gravity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When its function is weakened, it hurts us<\/strong> in many ways both physically as well as psychologically.<\/strong> Above all, older people<\/strong> They must maintain the quality of these muscles as prevention<\/strong> of various illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n

Likewise, in the case of young people, most of the problems generated by bad daily habits<\/strong> They cause muscle contraction that can generate low back pain, mobile phone syndrome, shoulder or neck stiffness and even depression, caused by the contraction or shrinkage of the antigravity muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember learning in anatomy that deep muscles provide stability to the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, for severe low back pain or cervical conditions we work with the pressure technique in which it reaches the deep muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would make sense when we consider that The treatment consists of restoring balance to the entire body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, the treatment that focuses on the antigravity muscles is ideal for Shiatsu since in it we guide the body to recover its total balance.<\/p>\n\n\n
