Bad habits causing pelvic deformity

Bad habits causing pelvic deformity

- Putting one leg on the other.

Feeling comfortable when you put a leg on the other leg means that the pelvis is already skewed. The repeated posture is associated with an increased risk of osteoarthritis. When the pressure distribution of the lumbar and thoracic spines becomes heterogeneous, the spine deforms, in some cases, the disc prolapses and can cause chronic back pain.

- Sitting with back bent.

Many people habitually bend their backs and lean against the back of the chair when they sit on a chair. Maintaining this position for a long time will cause the pelvis to tilt backwards. Therefore, when sitting on a chair, you should straighten your back. If it is difficult, the back should be adjusted so that the entire back is leaning against the back of the chair, and the pelvis and spine are in normal position. Supporting cushion on the back of the waist is also a good way to protect the pelvis.

- Standing on one leg.

Standing on one leg will result in the body in a lean position, so maintaining this position for a long time will cause knee arthritis and deformity of the pelvis.

- Wearing shoes that don't fit your feet.

When you wear high heel shoes or tight shoes, it will not only hurt your feet but also cause excessive tension in the back and inside of the thigh, causing your pelvis to tilt forward.
