Fundamentals for Healthy Movement

Fundamentals for Healthy Movement

Regular physical activity is essential for a healthy and pain-free life. It strengthens muscles, coordination, and mobility while improving overall well-being. Just a few training sessions per week can bring significant health benefits. With the right balance of enjoyment, strength, endurance, and mobility, you can prevent complaints and improve your quality of life.

1. Joy of Movement:
   Movement should be enjoyable and become a part of daily life. Just 2-3 training sessions of 60 minutes per week can provide maximum health benefits.
2. Varied Load:
   In addition to walking and running, exercises should also be included that promote:

• Strength (e.g., bodyweight exercises),
• Coordination (e.g., balance training),
• Joint mobility (e.g., stretching exercises or dynamic mobilizations).

1. Why Train Mobility?

• Joints are designed to be used in their full range of motion for both extension and flexion.
• If they are not moved regularly, the following can occur:

• • Muscular structures become weakened,
  • Fascia and joint capsules become inelastic and shortened.

• This can lead to long-term degenerative damage, such as meniscus injuries.

1. Caution with Limited Mobility:

• If full flexion or extension of the joints is difficult, the following applies:

• • No force: Movement should never be forced.
  • No pain: Do not push through painful movements.

• Instead: Perform gentle mobilizations in the pain-free range to gradually regain mobility.

Conclusion:
A healthy movement routine combines enjoyment, variety, and respect for your physical limits. With regular training, you can maintain or even improve the function of your muscles, joints, and fascia in the long term.
