What are the exercise therapies for gastric cancer

What are the exercise therapies for gastric cancer? For many gastric cancer patients, they hope to recover faster after surgery. So, what methods can gastric cancer patients use to recover faster? Experts tell you that gastric cancer patients can recover their health through exercise after surgery.

1. If gastric cancer patients have no contraindications after surgery, they can walk around in the ward with the help of their family members 1 to 7 days after the operation, which can promote the recovery of various body functions.

2. If the gastric cancer patient suffers severe surgical trauma and has poor physical strength after surgery and cannot get out of bed, he or she can do limb exercises and turn over in bed.

3. If the patient recovers well from surgery, he or she can gradually increase the amount of exercise and change the content of exercise, from walking, Qigong, Tai Chi to aerobics, and finally jogging. Among them, walking is the best recommended exercise method. The key points of walking are as follows:

(1) It is recommended that patients after gastric cancer surgery wear loose clothing and appropriate shoes and socks to ensure safety.

(2) Walk leisurely, relaxed and at ease, leaving all distractions behind.

(3) When taking a walk, your steps should be relaxed, as if you were strolling in a garden, so as to achieve a balanced flow of Qi and blood throughout the body.

(4) When walking, you should follow the principle of gradual exercise. The duration of walking can be long or short. You should make sure that you are physically tired but not out of breath.

Experts tell everyone that after gastric cancer surgery, patients should choose the best exercise method under the doctor's advice to avoid the wrong exercise method, which will not only fail to help the body recover, but will increase the burden on the body. In addition, after surgery, gastric cancer patients should pay more attention to their daily diet.
