The Relationship of Physiotherapy And Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease defined as a chronic disease that appears when the pancreas does not create insulin, a substance necessary for humans. Due to the increase in diabetics, it is necessary to reflect on this.

There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2, while the first is characterized by the fact that the body is unable to create insulin or produces very little, so insulin must be administered and cannot be prevented. However, the second type does secrete insulin but not enough, and is related to being overweight and can be prevented with healthy habits.

How physiotherapy can help prevent diabetes

Physiotherapy can help prevent diabetes, since it is a moderate physical activity that forces the body to burn fat and toxins, that is, it is like playing sports at a low frequency. In this way, we can avoid or delay type 2 diabetes, but the physiotherapist in Dwarka must accompany the patient while doing personalized exercises.

On the other hand, people who have diabetes usually have other problems throughout their lives, as a consequence of the disease, for example, they suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis or neuropathies, they are usually pathologies palliated and treated with physiotherapeutic techniques. that greatly improve patient life.

It is important to remember that all this must be supervised by a professional, who gives us advice on healthy habits, a daily exercise chart that does not damage our joints or muscles and that we can achieve, and above all take into account the diet and eliminate bad habits like tobacco or alcohol.

How to perform a good warm-up that helps exercise?

Warm-up our muscles and joints are all those exercises or slight movements that we perform so that our body is prepared, like our mind, before large overexertion that we are going to perform. The goal of this is to prevent injuries.

This is done by all professional athletes since it is important for them to avoid problems that prevent them from practicing the sport, so even if you are a runner or volleyball player, you always have to warm up, to avoid injuries such as ligament rupture or problems such as sprains.

In a good warm-up, we must include different exercises. The first thing is joint movement, move all the joints that we are going to force while exercising and thus avoid breakage or sprains. Cardiovascular, it is necessary to activate the heart, with a career at small intensity will be more than enough, increasing our pulse is essential.

On the other hand, gentle stretching and if you can be moving, no static stretching, this way we prepare ligaments and body tissues. Relative movements especially in those parts of the body that you are going to use the most, such as shoulders or wrists, or perhaps ankle.

The objectives of warming are:

Prepare the muscles for intense sport, have active coordination, prepare the system in general and the group of muscles that we are going to use in particular, and above all it helps us to concentrate.

To do sports, to do sports well, it is necessary to concentrate. In the same way that to study we cannot start with the most complicated because we would not get to understand anything, with this the same thing happens, our body collapses, our mind becomes frustrated and in the end we abandon, so it is necessary to go slowly, increasing the intensity, for our mood and for our mental state.

To all this you have to contribute more factors, such as the age of the person, since, at older age, you will need more warming, in the same way, an overweight person will do sports at low intensity and will need help from a physiotherapist in Janakpuri to do their sports sessions and its warming, in this way it will prevent any type of injury.

For all these reasons, whether you are a professional athlete or not, I advise you to go to a professional, a physiotherapist who knows how to set the necessary warm-up guidelines to prevent injuries and that best adapt to the type of sport you do.
