The handstand machine may seem simple, but if used improperly, it can cause excessive pressure on the neck, shoulders or waist, and even lead to injury. Therefore, it is of vital importance to master the correct handstand techniques and safety measures.
1.Adaptive training for the first time
If you are a novice at handstands, it is recommended to start with a short time (10-15 seconds) and make sure your body is tightly against the support pad of the handstand machine to avoid relying entirely on arm strength. As adaptability improves, the handstand time can be gradually extended to 1 to 3 minutes.
2. The correct handstand posture
When doing a handstand, keep your core tightened, your shoulders lowered, and avoid shrugging your shoulders or tilting your head too high. Your feet can be naturally crossed or stretched out, but do not push hard to avoid increasing the pressure on your cervical vertebrae. If you feel dizzy or unwell, you should stop immediately and slowly return to a standing position.
3. Safety Precautions
Avoid full handstands (head down). Unless under professional guidance, it is recommended to use a half handstand (with the body at a 45° to 60° Angle to the ground) to reduce the burden on the neck.
Patients with hypertension, glaucoma or cervical spondylosis should consult a doctor before use to avoid sudden increase in blood pressure or excessive pressure on the eyes due to handstands.
Make sure the handstand machine is stable and used on a soft ground, such as a yoga mat, to prevent sliding or accidental drops.
4. Training frequency and effect
It is recommended to do handstand training 2 to 3 times a week, each time for 1 to 3 minutes. If persisted in for a long time, it can significantly improve shoulder and back strength, posture and blood circulation.
With the correct usage method, the handstand machine can become a powerful tool for enhancing body control and health.
