Regular exercise is an important part of life. It helps us stay healthy by strengthening the heart, lungs, bones and muscles. It releases natural pain relievers called endorphins which are found in the body. Endorphins help reduce pain, but they can also improve mood, increase energy levels, and promote sleep.
Studies have shown that aerobic exercise helps relieve chronic pain by maintaining functional physical capacity, decreasing fatigue, promoting sleep and providing an increased sense of well-being.
Children with acute and chronic pain are often referred to a physiotherapist. The latter can recommend, among other things, exercises that will relieve pain and improve the functioning of the body. A physiotherapist or physiotherapist can help you develop an exercise program tailored to the patient's particular needs.
Any new exercise program should be started slowly and gradually accelerated. The ultimate goal is to make physical therapy activity part of everyday life. A formal exercise program should be performed at least three to five times a week for 30 minutes. This program may include aerobic, muscle building and conditioning exercises, as well as stretching and flexibility exercises.
Physiotherapists have a deep understanding of how the body works and a good knowledge of diseases, types of injuries and lesions, and the healing process. They can also distinguish what is normal from what is abnormal in body posture, movement and function. The main goals of physiotherapy are to restore body movement, improve body function, prevent injury, and promote healing. It is an effective active therapy that can help reduce pain.
A child's mobility can be influenced by physical, psychological, social and environmental factors. The role of the physiotherapist is to develop a treatment program in concert with the child, his parents and other members of the health care team. The plan thus developed aims to allow the patient to achieve the best possible range of motion.
Physiotherapy restores body movements and allows the child to lead a more normal life at home, at school and at leisure. It can therefore help reduce the negative psychological aspects of pain. Children with chronic pain are often depressed because they are limited in their daily activities. Physiotherapy will help your child return to a more active life, which will have a positive effect on his emotional state.
