Physiotherapy for gastroduodenitis
If professional sports are not contraindicated in gastroduodenitis, then what physical activities are allowed with gastroduodenitis? LFK is a light load on the abdominal press, aimed at improving blood circulation in the abdomen. In addition, you can engage in general development exercises for the trunk, suggesting slopes in different directions and easy circular rotation.

LFK as a prophylaxis for gastroduodenitis
As a rule, exercise therapy is recommended by gastroduodenitis specialists as a prophylaxis in order to restore the regulation of digestion, improve the blood circulation of the abdomen, stabilize motor and gastric secretion, and strengthen the muscles of the press.
In the course of intensive work, various chemical reactions occur that cause the acceleration of metabolism, oxygen and energy in all cells. Thanks to prevention, the cells are replaced with new ones, and, thus, the process of recovery is accelerated. In addition, the risk of the transition of gastroduodenitis to a chronic form is reduced. LFK also positively affects the respiratory system.
Usually, the first exercise is appointed after ten days from the date of onset of the illness. The complex of exercises for the prevention of complications is selected taking into account the secretion of the stomach.
