A sedentary lifestyle is the main cause of joint and back pain. Olga Kandaurova, head of the physiotherapeutic department of Saratov City Hospital No. 9, commented on this topic, writes the Saratov 24 TV channel.
According to the doctor, when a person moves, blood flows faster to the head, vascular function improves, and hormonal levels return to normal. In moments of stress, cortisol is produced, but when moving, this hormone is consumed by the muscles and ceases to poison the body. That is why in difficult moments people instinctively begin to walk from corner to corner.
Kandaurova emphasized that movement is the best remedy for fatigue, especially mental fatigue. The desire to lie down after work with the phone or TV leads to physical inactivity, which only worsens the condition. Even sick relatives do not need to create complete peace – as soon as a person can move at least one muscle, he should do so.
“Why does everyone’s knees, shoulders, and back hurt now? We love ourselves and protect ourselves from movements. We don’t walk again, we don’t get up. We move around by transport, we shift household chores to gadgets,” the doctor explained. She also warned against getting carried away with vibration machines: they do not replace real muscle work.
At the same time, Kandaurova does not advise fanatically striving for 10 thousand steps a day – no one has seen scientific justification for this figure. The main thing, in her opinion, is simply to move more: walk, climb stairs, stand up for objects instead of stretching.
