The analysis of whether the waist circumference movement harms the lumbar spine can be conducted from the following aspects:
1. The impact of the movement itself: If the waist circumference movement is too large or the posture is incorrect, it may indeed have adverse effects on the lumbar spine. This action may cause abnormal shear stress on the intervertebral disc, thereby exacerbating disc wear and even leading to problems such as lumbar disc herniation. Surrounding the waist may also alter the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, which in the long run may lead to a decrease in lumbar stability and increase the risk of lumbar spine damage.
2. Individual differences and physical condition: There are differences in physical condition and lumbar spine health among different individuals. For people who sit for long periods of time, lack exercise, or already have lumbar spine diseases, waist wrap around movements may be more likely to cause injuries. Before performing such actions, one should fully understand their physical condition and follow the guidance of a professional.
3. Correct movement method and protective measures: If the correct movement method is taken and attention is paid to protecting the lumbar spine during exercise, the waist wrapping movement itself may not necessarily cause injury. For example, the impact on the lumbar spine can be reduced by controlling the amplitude of movements, maintaining body balance, and avoiding excessive force. At the same time, doing appropriate warm-up and stretching activities before exercise can also help reduce the risk of injury.
Whether the waist encirclement movement harms the lumbar spine depends on the design of the movement itself, the physical condition of the performer, and whether the correct protective measures have been taken. To avoid unnecessary damage to the lumbar spine, it is recommended to perform such movements under the guidance of a professional, and pay attention to controlling the amplitude of the movements and maintaining the correct posture.
