Features: New attempts in sports medicine, a new experience in treating and curing diseases, new methods for strengthening the body, and a new concept of life movement. Health gymnastics is an effective means of treating diseases and an important method for preventing diseases. Regularly practicing appropriate health gymnastics can not only accelerate the clinical recovery of internal medicine patients and promote the rapid restoration of motor function in surgical patients but also change a person's physiological state, enhance the body's responsiveness, and achieve the goals of health care and disease prevention. Physical therapy is not only an effective means of treating various diseases but also an important method of preventing various diseases. Physical therapy acts on patients in various ways, changing the body's responsiveness and promoting a transition from one state of response to another. It establishes an inactive dynamic state or a more active and forceful state to strengthen or weaken blood circulation, respiration, excretion, and nutrition processes. Through the central nervous system, it influences neurohumoral regulation, making physiological processes more active and stimulating tissue regeneration. Therefore, physical therapy can not only prevent the adverse effects of the environment on the body but also be effective in treating any diseased organ or system in the human body. It is often used in daily health care and medical treatment and is also often regarded as an important principle of modern medical policy in hospitals. For example, morning exercises are used to eliminate post-wake-up blood stasis and improve mood; series exercises are used to enhance metabolism and prevent atrophy, stiffness, edema, bedsores, and constipation. In addition, when performing physical therapy, it is necessary to carefully consider the patient's age, gender, physical fitness, clinical symptoms, and previous training conditions, selecting different exercise programs based on individual characteristics and circumstances. Within the limits that can be achieved, gradually increase the difficulty of exercises and learn unfamiliar movements to enhance new exercises. Obese patients should first determine the cause and undergo physical therapy under medical supervision.
