rheumatoid arthritis disorders that causes swollen and painful joints. it kept effect on stuff and i asked the doctor if i die from it and then not he said no, but sooner or later you could wind up in a wheelchair because of it. the physical them quite square down for verena goodesky giving up sports was never an option wanting to keep active. she developed a passion for running cycling and swimming. now she trans most every day, her doctors were skeptical at 1st. i think about much math, but when i increasingly became pain free, not only to exercise but also some changes to my diet, my doctor and again, supported me as though sometimes they'll have an acute flare up. so that means joint, swollen shopping before maybe it, it'll just look red. nice to avoid will only hurt alison then i can't train maps if it's the ankle joint. and if i go swimming instead, think of it. if it's my back, then i take a break and i take that into account and apologize to the the died name is, looks

and increase oxygen levels in the blood. and then after a heart attack, it encourages new blood vessels to grow in the heart. worn joins grow more resilience while after in operation. the right doses of exercise can make boons here faster. and guess what helps against another wide spread reflection, but pain physiotherapist christian rocher leaves many different kinds of muscle paying attention. share a common cause. once a cup is typically even though it's because the, our bodies are designed to move it's know the constantly sitting or being a mo bile causes our muscles to atrophy and our tendons. to tighten this via our metabolism, no longer works at full throttle, which can make us overweight and you've already to cardiovascular disease of a compliment before it gets andrea is main, has suffered back pain for years and he knows why troubleshooting trying have a typical office job something i'm sitting at a pc for 8 hours
11:35 am
a day and not moving around by doing, even in my free time, i don't do as much as i should room on. so i think that's one of the main reasons to think of this as under the whole list. the trouble was sitting is that people usually lean forwards with their shoulders, hunched and their backs lumped. that's because the human head weighs around 6 kilograms, and close the body downwards. that over strange the muscles at the back of the body and shortens the ones at the front. overtime, this becomes a source of pain. andrea's main is taking part in a 4 week course of therapy. she's learning that movements he's long avoided, will ease his pain, provided he trains regularly and time was cut out to our muscular shirt is an adjustment mechanism for combat exact pains of it. many people are afraid to move in new ways as they're scared of injuring themselves. but that rarely happiness activity is the key to finding persist,
11:36 am
a lower back pain type and then clutching. but it's not just our muscles and back that suffer from sitting too long. so do our blood vessels, student can restrict blood flow in the legs after just 6 hours of uninterrupted sitting. the walls of the major league, arteries harden, blood flow to the brain is reduced as well. we often underestimate the harmful effects too much sitting has on our health, says cardiologist melanie, whom logan ones that have christ of the same with me for cardiovascular system need, isn't made for prolong sitting all it loves movement. and he loves to run right bikes and swim anything active. awesome, we just don't notice that straight off. and that's what's dangerous or stronger. because if i won't have cardiovascular problems, on the day, i was up to long musical. but it's a big risk factor for circulatory disorders, arterial sclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes and christoph, charlotte and his colleagues spend many hours a day behind their desk at this engineering office in hamburg, but twice
11:37 am
a week. they now take an active lunch break. the warm on my by the stretch on it and give it they're all kind of given the formula for us for the goes, what we've got for you all for you on for you on the board of the break like this is ideal sitting for long stretches it's what's most harmful. yes, it comes vicious. what's really important is not to put off moving around on that. i can't just always sit around all week and spend 8 to 10 hours a day at my desk and then run around the lake once on the weekend. and think i've made up for it. oh yeah. it's really much more important to plan little units of movement into your day for vehicles on heights. it's a fun this active lunch break, certainly does the engineering office staff, a world of good mobile. i was listening combined with him with all she checked us off when i noticed, when i don't get to do it for awhile when there's too much work and i missed a few sessions. i mean right away, i noticed the effect it has on my body. hope all is spect device, no wonder since sitting for too long to make you ill. so that's why more and more
11:38 am
companies are offering staff afternoon exercise breaks the home to find off on deposit. don't just break is worth it for the companies because it's workers are simply sitter and tell 3 year warranty. so it saves companies money on sick pay by congress talking. going for a walk during a break also helps. the main thing is to get moving, especially after eating because of lack of exercise, also increases the risk of diabetes and moves going long enough when our muscles are inactive for a long while. they also need less blood sugar called blot means this glucose is days in our blood and isn't absorbed by the muscle cells or other cells die. so i'm sitting for long periods is also a risk factor for diabetes, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, back pain. even cancer sitting increases the risk of contracting them all. that's why long periods of sitting also raise your mortality risk. so it's good
11:39 am
to move around a bit as often as you can. even just standing up sometimes can help this service take a look. it's very important to do something and doing every 45 minutes on that means activating the major muscle group within was marked as the very least unless you need to stretch me. i think one should say being, i'll take the telephone receiver in your hand and you walk around during phone calls would uh take a walk to the coffee machine, hold on just such a glass of water. that when the basic idea is not to let your metabolism fall asleep, but instead to keep it active. but that alone isn't enough. after a week of sitting at work, you should also get some exercise. and on a regular basis, the world health organization recommends 5 hours of moderate activity per week. ideally, it should leave you slightly winded and employee as many muscle groups as possible . because moving around a lot can go a long way towards combat in negative effects of an otherwise sedentary lifestyle.
11:40 am
just 15 minutes of exercise a day, you can prolong your life. your body's defense is also a better fit in one study, older people who'd for suit and during sports throughout their lives had more active immune cells and got fewer infections. studies also showed that sports can partially replace medication and sometimes completely. it's good against heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, and for many pain issues, exercises a more effective long term solution, then pain killers that let's lillia has a stressful job. he's the sales manager for a software company and sundays. he doesn't have time to take a break. the constant pressure has left its mark.
11:41 am
i have to screw, i sense that in the area from my neck to my shoulder, the muscles burglary coming ever stiffer and more painful office. they started to take samantha folder on your phone, that's a theme that lets trying to loosen up his muscles by compensating with stretching movements. without success, things only got worse. let's go to that. it was like a hot object was drilling into the space between my spine and my shoulder blade ice and it radiated all the way into my arm. descending on finals, he started taking painkillers to get through the day. at night he could barely sleep, despite the tablets. why? it's heidi strange, his neck muscles, while cycling he often took loans by cries, usually leaning over the handle bars. or was it an old problem with a slip disc? resurfacing douglas lillia went to a doctor who looked at an old image of the slip disk between the 5th and 6th
11:42 am
cervical vertebra and gave him a steroid injection. the needle was inserted right where the nerve leads of spying, but it didn't do much good and he worried about the risk losing his mind, even. it's not like an injection just under the skin. instead, it goes to the point of a spines and which is kind of scary aspect. and i really wanted to avoid that. so he made an appointment with chris john storm at the hanover medical school, who confirmed that douglas lydia had a slip disc. but during a thorough examination, the doctor found another explanation for his pain. i'm giving it simple skill one of the tests the orthopedic specialist performed was a check on each individual muscle. pressing each individually to see whether the pain radiated down the patient's arms lives on getting on one place hers quite, but it isn't a shooting pain. after the exhaustive set of tests, the doctor diagnosed douglas lillia with the rascal outlet syndrome. it's caused by
11:43 am
pressure on nerves or blood vessels in the area between the neck and shoulder. the scaling muscles are a group of 3 muscles on each side of the neck. they run from the cervical spine to the upper 2 rips. there's a small space between them called the scaling gap. several nerves pass through it. persistent, poor posture, causes the muscles at the front to shorten. putting those in the back under too much strain. ready this can cause the scaling gap to narrow and the muscles begin pressing on the nerves. ready that can lead to pain not only in the neck and shoulders, but also discomfort in other areas. it's kind of help. i'm sending out some pack. those pains in the left arm and the left side of your child support can feel like a heart attack over. we're going to use no, go to them by all means you should go and have that checked 1st. so else could add them. but it's also a very common symptom of the rascal what syndrome via because the nerve involves
11:44 am
also leads to the back of the shoulder blade area. and arms is what we can do. um, so it can cause trust an arm pain on the left hand side just kind of left us which is inside to compose an option that some of the orthopedic specialist says. the graphic outlet syndrome is quite common, but often goes on recognized, or compared to like carpet kind of surgery that frequently after missed diagnosis. and when people have fingers that go numb at night or they think it's carpal tunnel syndrome is on the compression of the nerve and the risk, then they have this really common, but unnecessary operational up to chris john storm, sent that let's move you to physio therapy, to learn how to improve his past year, the goal was to relax his neck and chest muscles to allow the scaling gap to expand . and assigned kind of the symbols cliff muscle tighten. this is the problem, could be, i would treat it 1st and see if it improves coke ups. and that's before giving an
11:45 am
injection which is not without risk. and we've, and certainly before i would operate on the question of you to during the acute phase, physiotherapist dentist style marked treats patients with manual therapy, a painful process. but after it slowly starts to have an effect, the pressure on the nerves easiest slits, highest is open on step 2 is what's known as neuro dynamics. when the nervous system starts moving from is missing, like the nerve should be able to glide smoothly from the brain to the fingers, but the muscles press on it to the we remove the pressure points to the nerves, can learn to glide, and that kind of now from just to make light and most of the item down, you're going to be the rest of the item. the physiotherapist shows deadline for different exercises. simple movements that can be easily incorporated into everyday life. no equipment required. didn't talk to me like 10 minutes a day is plenty. now that's more effective than doing 10 hours a day for the next 2 weeks as well. that could make it worse as estimate to get rid of the issue completely. it'll take 10 minutes
11:46 am
a day for at least the next 3 months, and the more likely a year and a half recovery is a lengthy process. the orthopedic surgeon also advises the flu use to pursue a wider range of exercise, not just cycling, but also light workouts on the cross trainer and to stretch regularly. this beautifully into my scheme, it would be good for him to really loosen up the tense muscles and his neck lice, or to make small rolling movements with his shoulders backwards and forwards, eyes and look, that would or stretch with his arms back. sons, it's not always about weight training or lifting a 100 kilograms keys, or do you mind that pulls his head, or he also advises debt less lillia to take more frequent breaks and regularly switch from sitting to standing at his desk. and he needs to learn to relax, not just physically, but also mentally, ment, as i can let us hear or mentally you tell yourself, i feel so tense today is one. it's a tension phenomenon in the true sense of the word as it was on come one that can
11:47 am
show up in your muscle. it was, but it can also show up mentally to was i'll through grumbling, thinking stress, and tyler bundled with the ultimate. in other words, mental tension can have a direct effect on, on muscular tension. most was good. let's move. you're already knows what's good for him. he used to go for walks in the forest, but when things got stressful at work, he stopped making time for them. now he wants to change that as this as an adult because ones ignite. this is a clear warning signal to pay more attention to balance of the by the trying to achieve more balance with relaxation and last night and bring more serenity into my work day. and also bring variety into my exercise routine. so that's something i'm very confident that will help me, except i'm thinking more positively now that let's know, is that to give his nerves more space again, his muscles need to relax. and that, that's the only way to get rid of the pain in his neck. for good
11:48 am
thought was, i won't survive this and i won't live to see my daughter grow up. i thought you really often and said to myself, to you on what can i do to help my body get healthy again? so it does depend on me. so that was a really the goal to do everything possible to retain my health as ok, which was august when she'd heard about o t t short for uncle logical training exercise therapy. and she wanted to start doing it right away. her doctor approved the spot, her concepts, new exercise, basically has healing powers. where that's been proven. studies have been conducted on the extent to which the board influence of the body. and yes, it certainly does have to or you all have to see have with it is in the fall. and we see that women undergoing chemo therapy have significantly fewer side effects. and less nausea, less joint pain. we certainly see that the, the thing that feels hi, yeah. the miller started with o t t. well,
11:49 am
she was still having chemo therapy twice a week. she did strength and endurance training. the sports scientist bird. and on hoping to ward off poly neuropathy, a tingling or pain in the hands and feet. that's a typical side effect of chemo therapy. stood inside studies of clearly shown that it helps to minimize pain and discomfort. calling your office is one of the main reasons people break off chemo therapy and to see what, what the longer they can continue with chemo, the better it is for the patient. and the best way of looking at a standstill is stuff backwards so, so that's how i see it. all of the body structures we don't exercise or move to the atrophy. okay, so not exercising during cancer treatment is a bad idea that some i can't stress that enough and he'll decide animal is daughter yet to is now a year old and add a is there for her child and her partner. she credits exercise with giving her the strength and energy says like what i'm doing really well. i'm healthy. i'm strong.
11:50 am
things could hardly be better estimate of us. besides line come to her post treatment program is still ongoing every few months and a miller has a checkup. she plans to carry on with the strength and endurance training both for herself and her family. so which exercise should you do? of course, if you have a specific condition, you should discuss things with your doctor 1st, then try out different stuff to find out what works for you. the strength training can have a big impact and endurance sports are particularly important for your hearts and circulation. so it's best to combine them, but where you don't really like the gym and don't have enough space at home. then we have a tip for, you know,
11:51 am
you know, each thursday this group gathers for an aqua fit course. the participants warm up in the shallow and did i still not find any words in the same direction? good. good. now placed your lower arms on the pool. now do you know that i'll then press it underwater and move forcefully through the shallow end taxes. let the middle help push, she will loan that you know what is going to submit c. then in the, um, this exercise prepares the major muscle groups and the legs and tours. so for the training to press the new underwater well, counteracting it's up thrust and pushing forwards requires not just strings, but body tension to finish on 5 pallets and specify that when i fall over, i fall into the water. that's really important, especially for older people send them home, says this new stuff and it's, it's protective because i'm in an environment, they're not able lies this any additional. and when i go into the deeper water out and due to the buoyancy i, i also train my balance with myself,
11:52 am
but i have to keep my balance to move forward. so that's or to move it all kind of fluid resistance mix training and water more effective because we fight this drag in all directions with every move we make that slows down our movements, but also causes us to burn more calories than on land or hearts. and circulatory systems benefit to the heart rate often slows down under water, but the organ gets a better work out. respiratory muscles are also strengthened because of water pressure. compressed is the chest slightly making it harder to inhale. the boy and see also reduce this pressure on joints, ligaments attendance. so water is an ideal place to train for the next exercise, participants you swim title, it is 50 live. you can remain seated. but your task is to lean slightly forward on your poll now. rather than just sitting on the exit, okay, i'm sorry. what was the items that the exercise may look easy,
11:53 am
but this when problems increase, water resistance, the more upright the paddles, the greater the effort required on you know, make bigger and bigger motion. you just, you can also turn your hands slightly and push backwards forcefully to go faster, ever smell i've added this exercise is particularly effective for training the arm, torso, and chest muscles. fingers arts burger has been given, acro, rubik's, an aquifer classes for over 30 years. she's always been a fan of training in water and i need to run disrespecting by so it's pure applied physics in the water. i think that's really great. uh, when i train on land, i have to work against my weight. i jump in particular are very stressful. on the joints for the delay, and when i'm in the water, i have the benefits of water now langley, the buoyancy went and dr. invest them either sent numerous studies have shown that
11:54 am
aqua fitness has health benefits for a variety of patient groups. here are 2 examples. adults american studies found that by taking part in act will fit classes twice a week. overweight adults were able to reduce their body side and waste measurement in just 6 weeks. the industry and the searchers discovered that after 2 months of training and water, patients with chronic lung disease, c o p d had better endurance than a comparison group. who trained with similar intensity on land, the back of the pool. i live in an hour, raise your arms again and punch forward now to the side, striving now downwards to the side. drive in every direction you know, like you really boxing. and then after 45 minutes, the aqua fitness course draws to a close. the participants loved it. while you can enjoy the benefits of exercising
