A "Martial Arts" Adventure in the Office

On the afternoon of July 9th, an extraordinary "martial arts drama" unfolded in the conference room of Shanghai Danzheng International—chief physician Ju Yubin from Shanghai Integrative Medicine Hospital transformed into the "Spine Hero," leading a group of "modern warriors" who spend long hours sitting in offices on a fascinating journey about spinal health.

 

 

"Office syndrome—cervical spondylosis—is the most common issue among white-collar workers." Among the top ten chronic diseases listed by the World Health Organization, cervical spondylosis ranks second. "Did you know? When you look down at your phone, the pressure on your cervical spine is equivalent to having a child sitting on your neck." As he spoke, Dr. Ju exaggeratedly mimed the "weight-bearing" posture, creating a visually striking effect. This vivid demonstration immediately made everyone in the room straighten their necks, and several colleagues who had been looking down at their phones quickly raised them to eye level.

 

 

 

 

Next, our spine. The physician exaggeratedly imitated common poor postures in the office—hunching like a shrimp, leaning forward like a searchlight—prompting the "warriors" present to see themselves in the act and burst into knowing laughter. He used lively metaphors to explain the secrets of intervertebral discs: "Imagine your intervertebral discs are like little water sacs. Sitting for long periods is like sitting on these sacs constantly, squeezing all the water out—how could that not hurt?" So, in daily work and life, everyone should correct poor postures and habits, reduce time spent looking down while working, and engage in targeted, scientific exercises.

 

 

 

After the theoretical explanation, Dr. Ju suddenly struck a martial arts-style opening pose: "Now, I’ll teach you a few 'secret moves for the office'!" The attendees followed along, and the conference room instantly turned into a "martial arts tournament."

 

 

 

The "martial arts" class flew by in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. By the end, the participants had not only mastered the essentials of "standing straight like a pine, sitting upright like a bell, and walking swiftly like the wind," but also acquired a set of "spinal exercises" they could practice anytime.

 

Leaving the conference room, I noticed my colleagues unconsciously adjusting their walking postures, their straightened backs returning to their workstations one by one—this was perhaps the most moving "homework"
