physiotherapist

意味　[C]理学 [物理] 療法士.

‘The first thing to remember is that we are all different,’ physiotherapist Helen O’Leary told Metro.co.uk. ‘Most of us, unless you happen to be a dancer, won’t stand, sit or move like a dancer!

flux

意味　[U] （絶え間ない）変化, 移り変わり; 不安定

Good posture, Helen added, is ‘all relative.’ And there isn’t really any such thing as ‘ideal posture.’ In fact, our supposed ‘ideal posture’ is in constant flux. ‘It changes in every position we move into as gravity and other forces acts on our muscles and bones differently,’ she told us.

これはいい考え方！そうだよね、体型によって最適な姿勢は違うよね。

excessive

意味　過度の, 極端な, 法外な (too much) （⇔moderate）

‘For some people these curves become excessive, and this is where we believe we have bad posture,’ Helen added. ‘Before coming to that conclusion though, it is a good idea to think about how you have always been shaped, as genetics, and how you were designed, plays a big role in posture.’

stiffness

意味　[U]かたさ; 体の凝り; 堅苦しさ; 厳しさ.

A constant feeling of stiffness or tightness in your back, ‘often after sitting or standing for long periods of time’ is one of the most common symptoms of bad posture. But Helen has the antidote — and that’s moving!

trunk

意味　（木の）幹, 樹幹 .

‘Making sure your back muscles, legs and trunk are strong enough to support you in your day to day activates will help your posture,’ Helen adds. ‘Remember, if your muscles aren’t strong enough to keep you in a position, they won’t! And instead, we will move into that ‘permanently slouched position.’

体幹トレーニングとか筋トレしたほうがいいんだけどね、運動嫌いすぎて読書しながらじゃないと無理なの…でもさすがにプランクしながら読書はハードすぎなのw

pelvis

意味　[C]骨盤.

But this isn’t just about lifting big weights. Body weight exercises like a Pilates dart or Pilates swimming can also help, as does increased mobility around your hips, pelvis and spine. This can be achieved through exercises like thread the needle or cat cow.

骨盤かぁー、何か骨盤っぽくない単語！w

strain

意味　〈体力· 神経など〉を精一杯使う, 酷使する

‘If you have an office based job where you are looking at screens a lot of the day, getting yearly eye checks is key to make sure you are not straining because your eyes are struggling to focus and getting tired,’ Helen told Metro.co.uk.

定期検診しようと去年眼科を探したんですが、眼科ってずいぶん減りましたね。コンタクトレンズ屋に吸収されてそのまま…なパターンが多かったのかな。
