Physiotherapy. Standing Digestion Exercises

Gastritis and functional dyspepsia (disorders gastrointestinal tract) is one of the most common diseases among residents of large cities. After all, everything that harms the gastric mucosa is present in the life of a metropolis. These are stresses, and eternal time pressure, and dry snacks and on the run, as well as coffee and a cigarette, and most importantly, hypodynamia. Of course, not only the digestive organs suffer from the lack of motor load, but the whole organism. But today we will talk about the gastric mucosa.

Movement is life!

Sports are different sports. Of course, heavy loads with gastritis are harmful. They can even lead to the development of chronic gastritis, especially if combined with a violation of the diet. After all, irrational physical activity inhibits the motor functions of the stomach, and overwork and overload lead to secretory insufficiency of the organ. But reasonable loads, on the contrary, perfectly help to cope with digestive problems. Therapeutic exercises for gastritis help to restore the neuro-humoral regulation of digestion, normalize the secretory and motor functions of the stomach, improve blood circulation in the abdominal cavity and strengthen the abdominal muscles.

During intense muscular work, the metabolism, energy and oxygen in the cells is accelerated. Due to this, damaged cells are actively replaced by new ones, which not only contributes to a faster recovery, but also reduces the risk of gastritis becoming chronic. Therefore, with gastritis, you should not lie sideways. You have to get up and start working.

Advice: starting exercises when an acute attack of pain in the stomach overtook, of course, is not worth it. As a rule, the first classes are scheduled 10 days after the onset of the disease. Start with a low load, gradually increasing the intensity. Abdominal exercises should be avoided at first.

Main focus

A set of exercises, their intensity and load depend on the type of gastric secretion. After all, an increase in the complexity and duration of training leads to a decrease in the secretion of gastric juice.

With a reduced secretory function of the stomach, moderate exercise stress at an average pace, with a small number of repetitions. It is this nature of exercise that slowly increases blood flow to the walls of the stomach. You can do about 30 minutes. It is desirable that gymnastics take place with cheerful music and in a group, since emotionally intense classes stimulate the secretory function of the stomach better. The main focus is on strengthening exercises abdominals and development of abdominal breathing. It is better to perform exercises 1.5-2 hours before or after meals and half an hour before taking mineral water - this is necessary to restore blood circulation in the stomach.

With increased acidity of gastric juice, it is necessary to perform more complex coordination exercises in slow pace, with monotonous movements, then its secretion decreases. The intensity of exercise should increase gradually. Gymnastics is necessarily combined with breathing exercises and relaxation exercises. A large number of repetitions are used. However, abdominal exercises are kept to a minimum. If you actively pump the press, you can make severe pain in the stomach. If pain occurs, gymnastics should be excluded altogether.

Practice between the daily intake of mineral water and lunch, as this has an inhibitory effect on the secretion of the stomach.

And, started!

Here exemplary complex exercises for gastritis.

Exercise for low acidity

Standing:

  • Take your straight leg back while raising your arms up. Repeat 3-4 times for each leg.
  • Rotate your torso to the sides, keeping your arms out to the sides. Repeat 3-4 times on each side.
  • Do tilts to the side and forward. 3-4 times in each direction.
  • Take a deep breath, hold your breath and exhale. Repeat 5-6 times.

Sitting:

  • Rest your palms on your lower back, stretch your legs in front of you. Perform 4-6 backbends.
  • Raise your straight leg up. Repeat 4-6 times for each leg.

Lying on your back:

  • Do the exercise "bicycle" for 1-2 minutes.

Acid Exercise

Standing:

  • Stretch your arms forward and rotate your brushes in one direction or the other. 10 rotations in each direction.
  • Leaning forward, relax your shoulders and arms. Swing your arms to the right and left for 1-2 minutes.

Standing on all fours:

  • As you inhale, raise your arm to the side and up. As you exhale, lower. Repeat with the other hand. 8 times for each hand.
  • As you inhale, lower your head and at the same time bend at the waist. As you exhale, raise your head and straighten up. Repeat 10 times.

Lying on your back:

  • As you inhale, lift your straightened leg. As you exhale, lower. The same with the other leg. 10 times for each leg.
  • Raise your right leg and arm at the same time. Take a breath. Then, helping with your hand, pull your knee to your stomach, while tilting your head to your chest. Breathe out. Change your leg and arm. 6 times - for each side of the body.

By the way

Healthy running also benefits the stomach, as the vibration of the internal organs when running improves the function of the digestive organs. With increased acidity, it is good to drink a glass of oatmeal jelly before the start of the race, which envelops the mucous membrane and neutralizes excess acid. With low acidity, it is enough to drink half a glass of water - this will increase the secretion of gastric juice. Very useful for the stomach and walking at a slow pace, 1.5-2 hours after eating. A good effect is given by swimming, skating and skiing, as well as sports outdoor games with a ball (volleyball, football). They provide not only good physical activity, but also improve the psycho-emotional state.

Physiotherapy affects all muscle groups, and during muscular work many substances are formed - energy carriers that are necessary for the cells of our body, including for the restoration of damaged cells. With physical activity, the speed of your blood flow through the vessels increases, so the organs receive more oxygen and nutrients and begin to work well.

In chronic gastritis, exercise therapy helps to normalize the secretion of gastric juice, put in order the motor and enzymatic functions of the stomach. The influence of physiotherapy exercises can reduce inflammation, stimulate the restoration of stomach cells. There is a physiological dependence of the functional activity of the stomach on how and in what quantity you make your muscles work. For example, moderate physical activity, performed 1.5-2 hours before a meal or 1.5-2 hours after it, increases the secretion of gastric juice, which is important to consider when treating gastritis with low acidity.

Therapeutic exercise for gastritis with low acidity

With the help of therapeutic exercises performed in moderate pace or at a slightly above average pace, an increase in the production of hydrochloric acid and enzymes is achieved. The pulse during the session should not exceed 150 beats per minute. Exercises are performed 1.5-2 hours before meals or 1.5-2 hours after meals. The set of exercises includes breathing exercises, exercises for the abdominal muscles. It is necessary to start classes gradually, increasing the number of exercises as the general condition improves.

In the acute period of gastritis therapeutic exercises you need to perform in the starting position lying on your back, reclining, sitting. Avoid sudden movements. With a decrease in pain, exercises are added in the initial position on the side, standing. After 1.5-2 months, you can practice lying on your stomach.

Lack of physical activity leads to a variety of diseases. If a person, even in a beautiful physical form, for example, a trained athlete, put to bed for a couple of weeks and make it impossible to move, then he will feel weak, it will be difficult for him to walk. Over time, the athlete will get back in shape and forget about feeling unwell. But an ordinary person, leading a mostly sedentary lifestyle, acts very imprudently. All of it internal organs gradually begin to work much worse, and this will cause poor health and many diseases.

Hypodynamia is the most dangerous enemy of mankind. It leads to a deterioration in health, a decrease in immunity and the general tone of the body. There is only one salvation: you need to give your muscles sufficient physical activity. Therapeutic exercise is good because it affects all muscle groups, and during muscle work many substances are formed - energy carriers that are necessary for the cells of our body, including for the restoration of damaged cells. During physical activity, the speed of our blood flow through the vessels increases, so the organs receive more oxygen and nutrients. This means they are starting to work well.

Many people confuse the concepts of "physical education" and "sport". Physical education differs from sports in that it is not the results that are important for it (sometimes achieved at the cost of health), but the movement itself and its effect on the body are important. You do not torture yourself with unbearable loads, but only improve your health, help your body. Therefore, do not load yourself so that you cannot count your own pulse.

In chronic gastritis, exercise therapy helps to normalize the secretion of gastric juice, as well as put in order the motor and enzymatic functions of the stomach. The influence of physiotherapy exercises can reduce inflammation, stimulate the restoration of stomach cells. This is because physical exercises have a pronounced beneficial effect on the processes of lymphatic and blood supply in the abdominal cavity. A sick stomach receives more oxygen, nutrients and energy, which means it returns to normal faster.

There is a physiological dependence of the functional activity of the stomach on how and in what quantity you make your muscles work. For example, moderate physical activity, performed 1.5-2 hours before a meal or 1.5-2 hours after it, increases the secretion of gastric juice, which is important to consider when treating gastritis with low acid formation.

Exercise that you perform at a slow pace, monotonously, immediately before or immediately after a meal, can reduce acid production. Such exercises lead to the fact that more blood goes to the muscles, and not to the stomach. In addition, your attention is focused on exercising, and not on thinking about delicious food. The mere thought of food can cause the secretion of gastric juice, which is undesirable in gastritis with high acidity.

With gastritis with low acidity, there are the following principles of physiotherapy exercises:

An increase in the production of hydrochloric acid, enzymes that are lacking in this type of gastritis, is achieved with the help of therapeutic exercises performed at a moderate pace or at a slightly above average pace. The pulse during the lesson should not exceed 140-150 beats per minute. Exercises should be performed 1.5-2 hours before meals or 1.5-2 hours after meals. Everything is connected in the body, and vivid emotional impressions also stimulate the secretion of the gastric glands. However, games (healing!) Should not be too mobile, it is better to refrain from running.

The medical complex includes breathing exercises, because at deep breathing movements of the diaphragm change intra-abdominal pressure. And this, with a small number of repetitions, has a beneficial effect on the vessels of the stomach and its blood supply. Absolutely necessary exercises for the abdominal muscles, which will not only help to cope with a hanging tummy, but also increase the level of intra-abdominal pressure, again improving the blood supply to the stomach. Slow walking is very helpful. It is necessary to start physiotherapy exercises gradually, increasing the number of exercises as the general condition improves.

In the acute period of gastritis, therapeutic exercises should be performed in the initial position lying on the back, reclining, sitting. Avoid sudden movements. When the pain subsides, exercises are added in the initial position on the side, standing. And 1.5-2 months after the exacerbation of the disease, you can practice lying on your stomach.

The following set of exercises must be performed after at least 10 days from the onset of exacerbation:

  1. Starting position: standing, feet shoulder-width apart, arms lowered. Move your head up and down, as if nodding; turn your head left and right. Repeat 10 times.
  2. The starting position is the same. Stretch your straight arms forward. Rotate the brushes clockwise and counterclockwise. Repeat 10 times.
  3. Put your hands down. Slowly lift them up through the sides while inhaling. Lower your arms down to the sides as you exhale. Repeat 8 times.
  4. Starting position: standing, legs slightly wider than shoulders, hands on the belt. Moving your arms to the sides, and then up, at the same time bend backward in the chest. Take a deep breath. Then, leaning forward and moving your elbows forward, exhale slowly. Return to starting position, pause. Repeat the exercise 8 times.
  5. Starting position: standing, arms lowered along the body. Alternately raise your knees (tearing your heel off the floor) - 10 times.
  6. Get on your toes, then on your heels. Swing like this 15 times.

  20. The starting position is the same. Lower your head, arch your back in an arc in the lumbar region - while inhaling. Raise your head, arch your back - exhale. Repeat 8 times.

For gastritis with normal and increased acid formation, the following physiotherapy exercises are used:

increased secretory and physical activity stomach decreases when performing certain physical exercises at a slow pace, with the monotonous nature of the movements. Such exercises moderately increase the blood supply to the stomach, which helps to reduce inflammation. And this is also important for gastritis with normal acid formation. Exercise in this case should be performed immediately before meals or immediately after meals. The pulse during classes should not exceed 110-120 beats per minute.

The treatment complex includes exercises mainly for large and medium muscle groups, with a large number of repetitions. During muscular work, a lot of energy is released, which is necessary for the normal functioning of body cells, including the restoration of damaged cells. In gastritis with normal and increased acid production, abdominal exercises are also necessary, but in this case, intra-abdominal pressure does not need to be changed so as not to stimulate additional acid secretion. And in the acute period, exercises where the abdominal muscles are involved are generally excluded.

The following set of exercises must be performed outside the stage of exacerbation:

  1. Starting position: standing, feet shoulder-width apart, arms lowered. Lower and raise your head, turn your head left and right. Repeat 10 times.
  2. The starting position is the same. Straighten your arms forward. Rotate the brushes - clockwise and counterclockwise. Repeat 10 times.

The significance and impact on health of physiotherapy exercises is certainly enormous, but for a long time they were in the shadow of the achievements of chemopharmaceutical methods of treatment. Meanwhile, kinesitherapy, or therapeutic physical culture, is the oldest and undeservedly forgotten branch of medicine, which develops methods for applying specific techniques. physical education in the complex treatment of various disorders. It is based on the natural biological function of the body - movement. Impossible to list everything positive effects the influence of physical exercises on the systems and organs of a sick person. In case of gastritis, physiotherapy exercises can reduce inflammation, stimulate the restoration of stomach cells. This is because physical exercises have a pronounced beneficial effect on the processes of lymph and blood supply in the abdominal cavity. A sick stomach receives more oxygen, nutrients and energy, which means it returns to normal faster.

In the daily routine of patients with gastritis, there must be a traditional morning exercises as well as walks on fresh air.

Physical exercises experts recommend to combine with medical nutrition, if necessary - with the intake of mineral waters. And it should be remembered that the effectiveness of physiotherapy exercises depends entirely on the regularity of classes - it is advisable to do therapeutic exercises at least 2-3 times a week.

Exercises for chronic gastroduodenitis with reduced gastric secretion

Special exercises therapeutic exercises are performed 1-2 hours before meals. We perform exercises for the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall, diaphragm, perineum in the initial positions lying on the back, sitting and standing. The ratio of breathing exercises (special, general developmental and relaxation) during the period of exacerbation of the disease is 2:1:1:1, and subsequently - 2:2:2:1.

Therapeutic exercise for gastritis with normal and increased acid formation

Increased secretory and motor activity of the stomach is reduced when certain physical exercises are performed at a slow pace, with the monotonous nature of movements. Such exercises moderately increase the blood supply to the stomach, which helps to reduce inflammation. And this is also important for gastritis with normal acid formation.

Exercise in this case should be performed immediately before meals or immediately after meals. The pulse during classes should not exceed 110-120 beats per minute.

The treatment complex includes exercises mainly for large and medium muscle groups, with a large number of repetitions. During muscular work, a lot of energy is released, which is necessary for the normal functioning of body cells, including the restoration of damaged cells.

In gastritis with normal and increased acid production, abdominal exercises are also necessary, but in this case, intra-abdominal pressure does not need to be changed so as not to stimulate additional acid secretion. And in the acute period, exercises where the abdominal muscles are involved are generally excluded.

The principles of physiotherapy exercises for gastritis with low acidity

An increase in the production of hydrochloric acid, enzymes that are lacking in this type of gastritis, is achieved with the help of therapeutic exercises performed at a moderate pace or at a slightly above average pace. The pulse during the lesson should not exceed 140-150 beats per minute. Exercise should be performed 1.5–2 hours before meals or 1.5–2 hours after meals.

Everything is connected in the body, and vivid emotional impressions also stimulate the secretion of the gastric glands. However, games (healing!) Should not be too mobile, it is better to refrain from running.

The treatment complex includes breathing exercises, since with deep breathing, the movements of the diaphragm change the intra-abdominal pressure. And this, with a small number of repetitions, has a beneficial effect on the vessels of the stomach and its blood supply.

Absolutely necessary exercises for the abdominal muscles, which will not only help to cope with a hanging tummy, but also increase the level of intra-abdominal pressure, again improving the blood supply to the stomach. Slow walking is very helpful. It is necessary to start physiotherapy exercises gradually, increasing the number of exercises as the general condition improves.

In the acute period of gastritis, therapeutic exercises should be performed in the initial position lying on the back, reclining, sitting. Avoid sudden movements. When the pain subsides, exercises are added in the initial position on the side, standing. And 1.5–2 months after the exacerbation of the disease, you can practice lying on your stomach.

The discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori by Barry James Marshall in the 1980s made it possible to treat gastritis with antibiotics without surgery. Therapeutic exercise for gastritis is an important component of complex therapy. Adequate sports load in case of stomach disease, it stimulates the body's defenses, promotes recovery.

The role of physical education in the treatment of gastrointestinal pathologies

The problem of impaired functioning of the stomach covers about 60% of the world's population. Special exercises for gastritis are included in the treatment plan with the following goals:

  • increased metabolism, increased blood flow of the diseased organ;
  • normalization of the secretion of gastric juice and organ motility;
  • strengthening the abdominal muscles;
  • prevention of exacerbations of the disease;
  • stimulation nervous system, the general tone of the body.

Exercise therapy for gastritis forms the accuracy of coordination of movements, develops strength and endurance, helps to harden the body, and boosts immunity.

General rules for performing exercises

It is necessary to perform gymnastics with the obligatory observance of the rules for conducting training.

Precautionary measures

Can't exercise certain periods diseases. Do not do exercises when symptoms of exacerbation of gastritis are observed: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. An inflammatory process with high fever, pain and stomach cramps is a contraindication to exercise.

With erosive gastritis with bleeding, it is forbidden to practice. You should not go in for sports tired, overwhelmed, in a depressed state - the emotional mood is no less important than physical readiness.

Class times and duration

Begin the exercises no earlier than 9 am and no later than 7 pm. To cure gastritis, exercise one and a half hours before or after eating. You can drink mineral water after 15 minutes from the end of classes. Duration medical complex exercise is half an hour. Training takes place at the same time. Frequency of classes: at least 4 times a week, the best option is 5-6 times a week.

Load intensity and number of repetitions

The intensity of work depends on the type of violation of enzymatic activity. For the treatment of gastritis with low acidity, low-intensity training is useful. Monotonous exercises are performed with an unhurried rhythm, 5 repetitions each. The basic part of the complex is carried out sitting and lying, paying a lot of attention abdominal muscles. Maximum heart rate up to 90 beats per minute.


Patients with gastritis with high acidity show a load of relatively high intensity. The pace of training is accelerating, the pulsation is at the level of 120 beats per minute, each exercise is repeated 15 times. Movements require endurance, complex coordination.

The use of gymnastic apparatus and the creation of conditions

Sports activities should not tire or inspire boredom. Diversity therapeutic gymnastics with gastritis will give sports equipment. Use dumbbells weighing from 0.5 to 1.5 kg, gymnastic stick, ball, chair. Choose a spacious, well-ventilated room, turn on rhythmic music.

Clothing is preferably cotton, comfortable, not constricting and does not impede movement. Sports shoes, light, with elastic soles, you can wear socks.

Warm up

Before the start of the main part of therapeutic physical culture, a warm-up is always carried out for 5-10 minutes. Muscles are warmed up and prepared for the upcoming load, the risk of injury and sprains is reduced. The desired effect is achieved by a series of simple exercises:

  • Walking 60 seconds. Raise your knees higher, work in harmony with your hands.
  • Feet shoulder width apart, hands along the hips. At the same time, when inhaling, rise on tiptoe, hands smoothly go up through the sides. With an exhalation, press the feet to the floor, arms smoothly down. Do 5 times.
  • Five circular movements of the head clockwise, then in the opposite direction.
  • Alternate rotations of the arms 5 times forward and backward to warm up the muscles, ligaments of the shoulder.
  • Standing, hands on the waist. With an inhalation, gently deviate to the right, with an exhalation, slowly rise. Inhale again, tilt to the left, exhale gently up. The number of repetitions is 5 for each side.
  • Slightly bent at the knee, put the right leg in front of you with support on the toe. Complete a streak of 5 rotational movements foot without lifting the toe off the floor in each direction. Do the same with the left foot.

After warming up, go to the base load. The technique of this part of physiotherapy exercises is different for gastritis with increased and decreased secretory function.


Therapeutic exercises for patients with gastritis with low acidity

Training for chronic hypoacid gastritis is smooth, slow. They are engaged lying on the rug, strengthen the muscles of the hands with dumbbells of 0.5 kg.

  • Place your feet slightly wider than your shoulders, arms at your waist. The toes are directed forward. We sit down slowly. Inhale downward, exhale upward. Knees at a right angle, slightly springy.
  • Unroll the mat and lie on your back. Take the dumbbells in your hands, lift. Slowly spread straight arms through the sides five times, touch the floor. When the muscles get stronger, increase the number of repetitions to 10.
  • Lying on the floor, straight arms with dumbbells are extended along the body. With an inhalation, raise your hands to a perpendicular with the floor, with an exhalation slowly down. Perform 5 times.
  • Remove the dumbbells. Place crossed legs bent at the knees on the stomach. Close the fingers in the lock on the back of the head, the back is pressed to the floor. raise upper part torso above the floor by 15 cm and gently lower. Do 5-10 times.
  • Lying on your back, arms parallel to the body. The legs are bent at the knees under and raised above the floor. Touch the toe of the right foot to the floor, take it to the starting position. Do each leg 5 times in turn.
  • Lie on your right side. With your left leg slightly raised, perform circular motions in a small amplitude to the right and left 5 times. Repeat on the other side.
  • Sitting on the floor, spread your legs as far apart as possible. Try to touch the toe of the leg in a springy slope with the fingers of the outstretched hands.
  • Lie on your back with your eyes closed. Inhale slowly, exhale, relax.

Leisurely walks in the fresh air, swimming, aerobics in the water have a positive effect on gastric secretion.

Exercise therapy for patients with gastritis with high acidity

The training regimen of people with gastritis with increased secretion is characterized by a rather high rhythm. Before starting the complex, prepare a chair with a back, 1 kg dumbbells, an exercise mat on the floor.

  • Stand at the back of a chair, grasp it with your hands. Take a low swing with your right leg back. The back is straight. Do each leg 7-10 times.
  • From the same position, a small swing with a straight leg to the side up to 10 times.
  • Sit on a chair, take dumbbells. Move the body forward, hands down. With an inhalation, spread your arms to the parallel with the floor and hold for 2 seconds. Exhaling, slowly lower through the sides. Do up to 10 times.
  • Arms with dumbbells bent at the elbows behind the head. Straighten them over your head and bend them again 10 times.
  • Put down the dumbbells, spread the mat and get down on all fours. Simultaneously with inhalation, we break away from the floor with our left hand and right foot. We pull up. Lower your limbs with an exhalation. Now we work with the right hand and left foot. Repeat 7 times on each side.
  • From a position on all fours, support on both hands. The right leg is raised to parallel with the floor and makes 10 swings up and down. Change your leg. Then do 10 swings with each leg left and right.
  • In the same position, while inhaling, arch your back upwards, like a cat. As you exhale, bend the spine down. We do 10 times.
  • Without changing the position, we smoothly lower ourselves onto our heels, arms extended forward along the floor, head lowered. Stretch your back, relax.

Can I play other sports

Dr. R. G. Hamer, the author of the doctrine of the psychosomatics of diseases, claims that the cause of gastritis is a protracted conflict between loved ones, mutual disagreement. Joint sports will improve mutual understanding in the family, develop a common interest and bring relatives closer. You can do easy running, skiing, skating, football, volleyball.
