七大絕招!【 吉他手 】的保健秘笈!

“我們到底該怎麼保護【 吉他手 】的手指、手腕和手肘呢 ?”

我相信許多玩吉他的朋友都有以上類似的問題。不論您練的是木吉他還是電吉他、是初學者或是吉他之神,在您的吉他生涯中,很可能因為過度練習而造成相關傷害。因此,請務必參考並分享以下七大保健技巧,這對每一位 吉他手 都是極度重要的唷! ?

 1. 了解 吉他手 常遭遇的相關傷害

 

✨ 肘隧道症候群 (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome)

(圖一) 當您的尺神經手肘區域受到壓迫時,會造成內側前臂、無名指與小指的麻痺感。嚴重時會導致整隻手無力甚至關節變形。

 

 腕隧道症候群 (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, CTS)

(圖二) CTS 發生於您的正中神經手腕區域受到壓迫,使您感到拇指、食指和中指的手掌區域有麻痺感。嚴重時會造成拇指肌肉萎縮神經疼痛感

 

 手腕肌腱炎 (Wrist Tendinitis)

對於 吉他手 而言, 最常見的手腕傷害就是 尺側屈腕肌 (Flexor Carpi Ulnaris) 的肌腱炎,造成手腕內側的劇烈疼痛與無力。

 

 板機指 (Trigger Finger)

板機指也是肌腱炎的一種。當您的屈肌肌腱發炎並腫脹時,會使得手指活動時有「摩擦音」,甚至是「卡住」無法伸直 的問題,在後期會造成嚴重疼痛。

 

✨ 手指退化性關節炎 ( Finger Arthritis )

這也是 吉他手 常見的問題,因為演奏吉他時,需要重複且直接使力在手指關節上,長期下來易誘發退化性關節炎

 

 2. 暖身

 暖身】對於每一位音樂家都是極度重要的!

 

步驟一: 心肺運動。例如五到十分鐘的爬樓梯或在家裡快走、跳繩,直到您輕微出汗,緊接著開始手腕與手指的伸展運動。(video credit: Bullet Cable)

步驟二: 針對吉他的暖手指運動。例如 爬格子、跑音階推弦 等暖身運動,讓您的手指在正式練習或演出前準備好。

 

⭐ 3. 定時休息

“定時休息” 可能是最容易被忽略的準則了。為了避免您上肢的重複性勞損 (repetitive strain injuries),請務必 每三十分鐘就休息三到五分鐘

當您感到痠痛才停下休息時,通常已經太遲了!

⭐ 4. 維持良好的姿勢

 坐姿

* 腰桿打直 且 坐正 (有個腰部的靠墊更好),千萬 不要駝背 

* 將您的脖子維持在 放鬆且正中 的姿勢,而 不要向前傾

* 您的 雙腳應該平放觸地,如此才能確保正確的 髖關節姿勢

✨ 手腕姿勢 

切記將手腕維持在 正中且打直 的位置,不要過度向上或向下彎曲手腕!如此一來才能免於 腕隧道症候群 和 手腕肌腱炎

⭐ 5. 使用輔助器具吉他手

✨ 吉他手肘護墊

* 裝在吉他上的 手肘護墊 可以保護撥弦的手肘,並減緩 尺神經 的壓力,以避免 肘隧道症候群。而 手肘護套 也能夠提供緩衝,並紓減 尺神經 的直接壓迫。

 

✨ 手腕護具

* 因為許多職業吉他手必須固定演出,手腕護具 對於已經有痠痛或發炎症狀的手腕更有效果,避免疼痛惡化。圖中是由手傷治療師製作的 熱塑型副木

 

⭐ 6. 演奏後的伸展運動

每次拉筋請務必維持 至少二十秒

✨ 確實伸展每根手指、手腕、手臂、脖子和上半身的肌肉!更多伸展運動可以參考這裡

⭐ 7. 強化肌力

肩關節周邊肌肉核心肌群的肌力訓練是絕對有幫助的,您也可以參考針對 手肘 手指 的訓練計畫,如此一來才能強化整體上肢肌肉,讓身為 吉他手 的您更有信心面對所有練習與演出。

 

不要懷疑!現在就開始執行這七大絕招讓您的吉他手生涯更健康長久吧!  ?

  • Throughout the grand scheme of things you actually secure an A just for hard work. Where you actually lost everybody was first on the particulars. As as the maxim goes, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more correct at this point. Having said that, permit me tell you precisely what did work. The authoring is certainly extremely engaging and that is possibly why I am taking the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, while I can certainly see a leaps in reasoning you come up with, I am definitely not sure of just how you seem to connect your details which produce your conclusion. For the moment I will yield to your issue but hope in the foreseeable future you actually link your dots better.
