        Recently, I find there are quite a few for the morning wash gargle on outpatient suddenly cause lumbar disease patients. Therefore, to remind the old people must be caused take seriously. 
 
        The body after a night of sleep, muscle, ligament, joint capsule and other soft tissue becomes relatively "rigid", at this time, the old friend if immediately face and brushing your teeth, may produce larger pressure to the lumbar spine. To avoid risk, need to pay attention to three links: 
 
        First of all, to the waist. In indoor walk walk two times, for example, walked slowly swing arm, and then stretch and move a couple of the waist. Again back rubs, rubs the waist with both hands, and gently pat lower limbs. The aim, one is to allow the body to adapt to the change from the hypothesis condition, help the whole body blood circulation and body tension, to adapt to the wash gargle. Both to strengthen the waist flexibility, promote around the waist meridian qi and blood running. 
 
        Second, pay attention to the pose when wash a face to brush one's teeth. The correct posture should be the knees peg-leg squats, and, leaning forward again, but in a large extent, reduce the pressure of lumbar, reduce the load on the lumbar spine. If feel waist pain during the wash gargle, want to straight waist leg rest right away. 
 
        Third, wash basin shoulds not be too low. Use the old man wash lavatory, don't place too low, lavatory location to avoid aggravating the waist of the load due to lumbar excessive bend forward.
