For gastrointestinal diseases that are not associated with infection in the body, physical therapy (physical therapy) is used as an auxiliary method of treatment. It is necessary, first of all, for general stimulation of the body. Exercise therapy also activates recovery processes in the body, as it enhances lymph and blood supply to the abdominal organs.
Exercise therapy normalizes the secretion and motor function of the gastrointestinal tract in adults and children. At the acute stage, physical therapy is also recommended, which relieves pain and calms.
With hypoacid gastritis, an increase in secretory function is achieved through physical therapy 1.5-2 hours before or after a meal. Emotionally intense exercises and a moderate level of stress are used.
With hyperacid gastritis, it reduces secretory function:
- physical therapy a few minutes before meals and immediately after meals
- monotonous nature of the exercises
- slow execution theme.
If pain syndrome is severe due to gastrointestinal diseases, it is better to avoid exercises for the abdominal muscles.

Exercises for diseases of the digestive system
Diseases of the digestive system include gastritis, cholecystitis, gastric ulcer and others. Physical exercises help normalize the motor and secretory functions of the gastrointestinal tract and activate blood circulation in the abdominal cavity. Special exercises help strengthen the abdominal muscles, especially the anterior abdominal wall. They must be performed from various starting positions, but most often in a sitting position and lying on the back. These exercises should alternate with general developmental and breathing exercises. They should be performed calmly, with moderate muscle tension.

For gastritis with low acidity, atony of the stomach and intestines, prolapse of the abdominal viscera, moderate physical activity that does not cause fatigue increases metabolism, improves blood circulation and stimulates the activity of all organs. Under the influence of physical exercise, the secretion of digestive juices increases. Along with exercises for all muscle groups, exercises with heavy load on the abdominal muscles are widely used. For constipation, which very often accompanies atony, you should perform additional exercises associated with shaking the body (jumping rope, sports games, skiing and rowing).
