With correct and effective exercise, it is possible to keep the body fit, protect from diseases related to sedentary life, and improve health in general. However, in order to benefit from all these positive effects, the exercises must be done correctly and carefully, and people with various physical diseases must choose appropriate movements. Temporary or permanent health problems may occur in muscles, bones and joints if exercises are performed incorrectly in a way that puts excessive strain on the body during sports. It is very important to act in line with the guidance of experts in determining and maintaining a correct and effective exercise program, away from such risks. The MediGym concept, created based on this understanding, creates innovative practices that enable healthy exercise in the hospital environment.
What is MediGym?
MediGym is a sports center within the hospital that allows you to exercise in a safe environment with sports experts, physiotherapists and physicians. With the package services offered within the scope of MediGym, the most appropriate exercise plan is determined for the person and his/her health problems. Individuals are guided and followed up correctly throughout the process. The person undergoes a detailed medical examination before starting to exercise at MediGym. Many details such as the suitability of the applications included in the service package planned to be received, the types and frequencies of services to be included in the package, and the exercises to be included in the person’s program are determined in the light of this examination. In addition, MediGym centers have many special devices that can only be used under the supervision of experts in professional centers in cases that require special applications such as posture disorders, spinal deformities and health problems requiring rehabilitation. Thanks to these, effective results can be obtained as a result of individually determined work programs in both health-related exercises and rehabilitation practices.
What are the benefits of exercising in the hospital?
Exercising in a hospital environment brings many health benefits. First of all, it is very important for people who do not have a regular sports background to undergo a health examination before starting a certain exercise plan. Individuals may experience serious health problems if they suddenly start exercising unconsciously due to health problems they are unaware of. However, when determining the exercise plan, making a program suitable for the individual’s age and body structure and making changes in the program week by week increases the effectiveness of the exercise and minimizes the possibilities of muscle strain and injury. An exercise plan determined by the joint work of expert trainers, physiotherapists and physicians constitutes the healthiest method in this respect. In addition, there is the possibility of direct intervention in case of any problems or changes needed in people who start sports within the hospital.
Performing exercise in a hospital environment provides a much greater advantage for people who have a certain health problem and need exercise both for a healthy life and to support the treatment process of their current disease. Although there are exercises specified for these people, it may be difficult for the individual to understand them and to do them fully with the correct technique. If these exercises are performed within MediGym, it is much easier to get the desired result while eliminating these possibilities with the exercises performed by experts. In addition, the effects of exercises on the individual can be monitored instantly, instant interventions can be applied when necessary, and individuals can be regularly checked by a physician. Likewise, you can quickly get support from doctors in cases of sudden pain or discomfort during exercise. For elderly individuals, the risks of falling and injury during exercise can be prevented. For all these reasons, MediGym, which allows exercise in a hospital environment, has brought a professional and innovative perspective to sports.
