8:32 am
asked the doctor if i die from it. and then not the said because i know, but sooner or later you could wind up in a wheelchair because of a single them a place for them 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 trains most every day. her doctors were skeptical at 1st. i think about much math, but when i increasingly became pain free and then not only to exercise but also some changes to my diet, my doctors again supported me as though sometimes they'll have an acute flare ups. i think that means a joint swollen, something before. maybe it, it'll just look red nice for it will only hurt allison then i can't train from out if it's the ankle joint and 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 that name is workspace policy. along with exercise,
8:33 am
she takes arthritis medication and eats anti inflammatory foods. good there sky hopes to stay healthy for years to come. she posts nutrition and exercise tips on social media. nobody memphis went out just because someone looks healthy doesn't mean that they are. so if you ask someone how are you, you should expect the response to not always be fine. thanks. i would rather today's a bad day because attacked by 3 and a good to ask you hopes to give fellow sufferers encouragement and show them that exercise can help combat rheumatoid arthritis. for time out of mind, doctor said if you will, then rast people with we cards or disease to long. so we're told to stay in bed after operations, patients were supposed to lie around for a week. but today we know that exercise helps long patients maintain stamina and increase oxygen levels in the blood. and then after a heart attack that increase just new blood vessels to grow in the heart. worn
8:34 am
joins grow more resilience while after an operation. the right doses of exercise can make boons. he'll faster, i guess what helps against another. widespread reflection, bad pain, physio, therapist, christian rocher believes many different kinds of muscle pain intention share a common cause. once a cup is typically even always because the, our bodies are designed to move. it's not the constantly sitting or being immobile, 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 either lead to cardiovascular disease or a compliment before it gets andrea's main has suffered back pain for years and he knows why troubles and try have a typical office job. and i'm sitting at a pc for 8 hours a day and not moving around by doing, even in my free time, i don't do as much as i should,
8:35 am
whom 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 strains the muscles at the back of the body and shortens the ones at the front. overtime, this becomes a source of pain. andre is main, is taking part in a 4 week course of therapy. he's learning that movements he's long avoided, will use 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 happens. activity is the key to finding persistent, lower back pain, and then coachman. but it's not just normal, susan back,
8:36 am
but 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, who milligan, ones that have kind of stuff the same with me for cardiovascular system isn't made for per long 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've sat too 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 desks at this engineering office in hamburg, but twice a week. they now take an active lunch break the warm on my by to stretch on it and
8:37 am
give it there all. then just given the normal here a formula for us for the goes for we've got florida, florida, florida, florida. 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, spend 8 to 10 hours a day at my desk and then run around the lake once on the weekends 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 i'm hyphen supply on this active lunch break. certainly does the engineering office staff, a world of good mobile i was think of buying of him at all. she to check 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 that no wonder since sitting for too long to make you ill. so that's why more and more companies are offering staff afternoon exercise breaks the home to find off on deposit. don't just break
8:38 am
is worth it for the companies because it's workers are simply sitter and healthier warranty. so it saves companies money on sick pay by congress 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 what's going on in our muscles are inactive for a long while. they also need less blood sugar called black means this glucose, these 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 to 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 to move around a bit as often as you can. even just standing up sometimes can help the survey take
8:39 am
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 when she texted me. so i mean, i'll take the telephone receiver in your hand and walk around during phone calls and would uh take a walk to the coffee machine or do i have 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 for weeks. ideally, it should leave you slightly winded and employed as many muscle groups as possible . because moving around a lot can go a long way towards combat in the negative effects of an otherwise sedentary lifestyle. just 15 minutes of exercise
8:40 am
a day, you can prolong your life. your body's defense is also a better fit in one study, older people who would for suit and during sports throughout their lives had more active immune cells and got fewer infection. studies also show 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, debt less, 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. i have to spill, 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
8:41 am
take, samantha, hold on. if i'm, that's a team that's trying to loosen up his muscles by compensating with stretching movements. without success, things only got worse. let's go to the, it was like a hot object was drilling into the space between my spine and my shoulder blade. i scanned it, radiated all the way into my arm, depending on the finals. he started taking painkillers to get through the day. at nights he could barely sleep, despite the tablets. why a tidy strained 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 the flu. you went to a doctor who looked at an old image of the slip disc between the 5th and 6th cervical vertebra and gave him a steroid injection needle was inserted right,
8:42 am
where the nerve leaf is fine. 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 the douglas lu. yeah, had a slip disc. but during a thorough examination the doctor found another explanation for his pain. but i'm getting it simple skin. 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 finalized on going on. one place hers quite, but it isn't a shooting pain. after the exhaustive set of tests, the doctor diagnosed with lillia with the rascal outlet syndrome. it's caused by pressure on nerves or blood vessels in the area between the neck and shoulder. the
8:43 am
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 is a small space between them called the scaling gap and several nerves passed through it. persistent, poor pastor 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 of 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 involved also leads to the back of the shoulder blade area. and arms is willing to so it can
8:44 am
cause trust an arm pain on the left hand side is kind of the zip test which is inside. you can post 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, but frequently after missed diagnosis. and when people have fingers that go numb at night, they think it's carpal tunnel syndrome is on the compression of the nerve and the risk. but then they have this really common, but unnecessary operational up to christian 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. the into sign coming to the scene was good if muscle tighten, this is the problem cause i would treat it 1st and see if it improves coke up. some that's before giving an objection, which is not without risk and whenever you and certainly before i would operate on
8:45 am
the question of you. 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. slips, highest is open on step 2 is notes known as neuro dynamics. when the nervous system starts moving from 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 debt lots of different exercises, simple movements that can be easily incorporated into everyday life. no equipment required in touch, seeming 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. a day for at least the next 3 months out, and the more likely a year and a half recovery is
8:46 am
a lengthy process. the orthopedic surgeon also advises debt, let flu use to pursue a wider range of exercise, not just cycling, but also light workouts on the cross trainer and to stretch regularly, just beautifully into mice because 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 looked out with or stretched with his arms back. sons, it's not always about weight training or lifting a 100 kilograms keys. what do you mind that pulls the satellite? he also advises debt left of the year to take me a 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, isaac medicine or mentally you tell yourself i feel so tense today is want it's attention phenomenon in the true sense of the word as it was on con ones that can show up in your muscle, it was, but it can also show up mentally tools all through grumbling, thinking stress,
8:47 am
and toddlers bundled with the ultimate. in other words, mental tension can have a direct effect on, on muscular tensions. but most the slow, 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 if he wants to change that this, this is and thought because one's ignite, this is a clear warning signal to pay more attention to balance of people who are trying to achieve more balance with relaxation into 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 because 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
8:48 am
board also raises cobra means serotonin and nor adrenalin levels in the brain, hormones that influence your mood. so exercise is good against depression, flight and during sports are especially effective, but yoga and strength training also help and activity turbocharged as your immune system helping prevent cancer. one studies showed that people who were physically active reduce their risk of developing 13 types of car sonoma, and sport can help after a cancer diagnosis to, for instance, to support therapy against the bible and prostate tumors. and women with breast cancer. also see big benefit except one day on a miller discovered a lump in her breast. she just given birth to her 1st child when she received the shocking diagnosis. cancer, it soon became clear that she needed an operation and strenuous rounds of chemo therapy. they asked to go down, commodity stuff. my 1st thought was i won't survive this. i won't live to see my
8:49 am
daughter grow up. i thought you really often and said to myself, to you and what can i do to help my body get healthy again? fantastic to know me. so that was a really the goal was 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 job, your approved spot concepts list 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 and you all have to see have with it is in the fall and we see that women undergoing chemo therapy have significant, the fewer side effects, less nausea, less joint paintings. i could always certainly see that the, the thing that humans high, yeah. the miller started with o t t while she was still having chemo therapy twice a week. she did strength and endurance training. the sports scientist, bird,
8:50 am
and on hoping to ward off poly neuropathy, tingling or pain in the hands and feet. that's a typical side effect of chemotherapy. students hung on studies have clearly shown that it helps minimize pain and discomfort. calling your office the is one of the main reasons people break off key milk therapy in the same way, but the longer they can continue with chemo, the better it is for the patient. and the best i spend still is a step backwards. and that's how i see it. all of the body structures we don't exercise or move atrophy. okay, so not exercising during cancer treatment is a bad idea that someone, i can't stress that enough and he'll definitely do. animal is daughter, yet to is now a year old and a is there for her child and her partner. she credits exercised with giving her the strength and energy says like what i'm doing really well. i'm healthy. i'm strong. things could hardly be better best as i can come to her post treatment program is
8:51 am
still ongoing every few months and a miller has a checkup. she plans to carry on with a 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. strength training can have a big impact and, and during 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, you know, each thursday, this group gathers for an aqua fit course. the participants warm up in the shallow
8:52 am
and not so on. any words in the same direction. good. good. now placed your lower arms on the pool. now, in order ousley again, then press it under water and move forcefully through the shallow end taxes. let the middle help push the will loan. that's the submit. see then, this exercise prepares the major muscle groups and the legs and torso 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 solutions. 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 the table lies us any additional. and when i go into the deeper water out and due to the buoyancy i, i also train my balance with myself, but i have to keep my balance to move forward. so that's or to move it all my
8:53 am
content. fluid resistance makes 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, compresses the chest, slightly, making it harder to inhale. the boy and see also reduces pressure on joints, ligaments and attendance. so water is an ideal place to train. for the next exercise, participants you swim title. it is 50 line 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 found was the lines that the exercise may look easy. 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, how does, 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 of either sent numerous studies have shown that aqua fitness has health benefits for a variety of patient groups. tier 2 examples. adults. american studies found that
8:55 am
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 side, 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
