Exercise therapy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Movement therapy is physically indicated and prescribed movement that is planned and dosed by the specialist therapist , controlled together with the doctor and carried out with the patient alone or in a group. In addition, there are traditional exercise methods , the effect of which has not been proven on the basis of evidence in some cases, and which are sometimes also used in the context of sports therapy .

to form

There are different concepts of movement therapy, which range from physiotherapy , therapeutic gymnastics and preventive movement recommendations to psychotherapy-oriented forms. H. Lucas wrote in general: “The beneficial effects of exercise therapy should not only be of benefit to people who are already sick. Everyone who is healthy should ... absolutely do some sensible sport. ”The psychotherapeutic-oriented concepts include concentrative movement therapy , integrative movement therapy and dance therapy as a form of artistic therapy . From the Asian region, forms such as Taijiquan have been adapted to western needs and are used as movement therapy. Anthroposophic eurythmy therapy , which was first made public in 1921, is considered an alternative medical procedure, but it has no specific effectiveness.

Exercise therapy and cancer

Exercise therapies are gaining increasing importance in the treatment of cancer patients. Scientists and the German Sport University Cologne (DSHS) recommend "physical activity for all forms of cancer". However, it must be ensured that the respective cancer diseases are also treated differently medically, each with different effects and side effects. In 2013 there were around 1,000 cancer sports groups in Germany. However, the demand is much greater. Therefore, significantly more individual offers would have to be created. It is scientifically proven that physical activity, performed correctly, is feasible and safe "during medical therapy, in rehabilitation and in follow-up care".
