牠的背，已經不是一頭大象原本該有的形狀了，而那道明顯塌下去的弧度，背後藏著的是長達25年的重量。

牠叫Pai Lin。

曾經有很長一段時間，牠的工作就是站在遊客面前，讓人爬上牠的背，坐進綁在身上的座椅，再一步一步把他們送往下一個景點。

一次又一次。

一天又一天。

最多的時候，那張笨重的座椅上會坐著6名遊客，而所有人的重量，都落在Pai Lin的背上。

對遊客來說，那可能只是旅途中短短的一段體驗。拍一張照片，摸摸大象，再從牠背上下來，轉身去下一個行程，甚至很快就忘記了那一天騎過的大象長什麼樣子。

可是對Pai Lin來說，那些重量沒有在遊客離開後消失。

它們留了下來。

留在牠的身體裡。

多年之後，人們再看見Pai Lin時，牠的脊柱已經出現明顯的塌陷，原本應該自然隆起、支撐龐大身軀的背部，留下了一道讓人很難忽略的凹陷。

那不是一天造成的。

也不是一次造成的。

而是25年裡，一批又一批遊客坐上去之後，慢慢留下來的痕跡。

我們很容易以為，大象那麼高、那麼壯，背著幾個人應該沒有關係；牠們看起來力氣那麼大，走路時也沒有喊痛，甚至會按照指令一步一步往前，所以很多人從來沒有想過，那些看似開心的旅遊照片，對另一個生命意味著什麼。

牠不會告訴你疼。

也不會在照片拍完之後，指著自己的背說：「這裡受傷了。」

牠只是繼續走。

直到身體替牠留下答案。

後來，Pai Lin終於被動物保護機構救出，不必再每天背著座椅和遊客前進，也終於可以過一種不再以載人為工作的生活。

可是有些東西，已經回不去了。

救援可以讓牠離開曾經的生活，卻沒有辦法把那25年從牠的身體裡拿走；脊柱留下的傷害，仍可能繼續陪著牠往後的日子。

最讓人難受的，也許正是這一點。

當年坐在牠背上的很多人，或許根本不知道自己正在傷害牠。

他們可能只是旅行。

只是拍照。

只是做了一件「大家都在做」的事。

可對Pai Lin而言，那些短短十幾分鐘的體驗，被一個又一個人重複之後，最後變成了牠要用一生承受的重量。

所以有一天，如果你站在一頭大象面前，有人邀請你坐上牠的背，也許可以先看一眼Pai Lin的照片。

看看那道已經塌下去的脊背。

然後把原本準備跨上去的那一步，輕輕收回來。

有些喜歡，不一定要坐在牠身上才能證明。

遠遠看著牠自由地走，

也許才是我們真正能留給牠的溫柔。

Recently I've been digging my old file for information about the fruit juice fasting. I came across events organized those day. This is a forum held in 2010 and the advertisement made...

#中椎侧弯 Scoliosis (Mid spine)
Scroll down for English

主要两条肌肉造成中椎侧弯. quadratus Lumbadrum和 Psoa.普遍发生在10到18岁之间,也是骨头正在成长的时期. 原因除了遗传外, 更是从小成长过程长期保持错误姿势.比如：

1.趴在地上画画或写字
2.错误的坐姿
3. 側身趴在桌子做功课
4.男士习惯把厚厚的皮包塞在屁股后的裤袋上,坐着时导致骨盘倾斜
5.喜欢倾斜身体坐靠沙发一边的扶手

当中椎侧弯达到某个弧度,初时将引发长期腰背酸痛,影响体态和阻碍气血循环.渐渐肝脾胃胆会被压迫（ 中椎）,整个消化系统功能促渐衰退.最后导致吃进的食物难被吸收,形成毒素残留在体内.造成酸性体质,人容易累,睡眠受影响, 皮肤问题,甚至免疫系统失调等等.

改善中椎侧弯必须先从胯关节下手.提高两边的灵活性, 再解开以上两条肌肉的结节. 接着强化弱的一边,放松绷紧的另一边.

这个八月份,我们的课(Physio Fitness)会专注在调整中椎側変.如果您有轻微中椎側弯,欢迎报名参加.

Scoliosis is primarily caused by two muscles: Quadratus Lumbadrumand Psoa. It is commonly occurs between the age of 10 to 18, the period of bone growth. Besides heredity, the main causes are incorrect posture during this time frame :

1.Lying prone while drawing or writing on the floor
2.Incorrect sitting posture
3.Leaning sideway on the table while doing homework.
4.Stuffing thick wallet into the back pocket of the pant, causing pelvic tilt when sitting.
5. Sitting with the body leaning on the armrest of the sofa.

When the curve worsens reaches a certain degree , it causes chronic lower back pain, poor posture and hindering blood and qi circulation. Gradually, the liver, spleen, stomach, and gallbladder will be compressed(mid spine), leading to the malfunction of the entire digestive system. Ultimately, results in poor nutrients absorption, toxin pilled up, causing acidic body, fatigue, sleep disturbances, skin problems, and even autoimmune disorder.

To alleviate scoliosis( mid spine), first of all enhance the flexibility of the hip joint, followed by untie the muscles knots mentioned above. . Then strengthen the weaker side and relax the stiffness on the other side.

This August, we will focus on alleviating scoliosis in our Physio Fitness class. For those who has mild scoliosis, welcome to join the class.
