Articular garden gymnastics. Joint gymnastics

Joint gymnastics Is a set of exercises for strengthening joints and developing their mobility, as well as for the development and strengthening of almost all muscles and ligaments of the human body.

Exercises joint gymnastics restore flexibility and mobility of the spine, thereby contributing to the healing of the whole organism. In addition, this set of exercises prepares the body for performing complex asanas and pranayamas.

Joint gymnastics exercises can be performed as simple physical exercises or as energy exercises, which, in addition to developing and training the physical body, additionally develop (etheric, astral, etc.), as well as develop and balance.

At the same time, from the side, the options for performing joint gymnastics exercises may differ slightly. The difference is in some features of the exercise and in the attitudes of consciousness.

Using exercises of joint gymnastics and the corresponding attitudes of consciousness, you can influence the properties of your personality and the qualities of your character.

Depending on the goals set, the load in each exercise and the dosage of the exercises can vary widely. However, in any case, in order to achieve success, I recommend using.

At the first stage, you should correctly master the technique of performing the exercises, and then you can complicate the exercises with concentration of attention and states of consciousness.

Joint gymnastics. Part 1.

Exercises of part 1 of articular gymnastics are performed from the starting position - standing, legs - shoulder-width apart, feet - parallel, back - straight, head straight in front of us, arms - along the body.

Take a deep breath, then we begin to exhale slowly, and with exhalation we lower one shoulder down to the midline, raise the other up, while the head with the help of the “support” remains motionless at a glance. We are, as it were, trying to roll the shoulder girdle around the axis of the spine, helping ourselves with our hands. We try to complete the exhalation together with the completion of the movement. After that, we hold the breath on exhalation until a slight feeling of discomfort arises and with a slow exhalation we return to the I. p.

Various parts of articular gymnastics can be performed during the day in the form of separate sets of exercises. On either physical training as a warm-up exercise or as a general strengthening exercise.

After mastering the technique of performing joint gymnastics exercises, you should proceed to the next stage - add work with images to the training.

Let me explain with the example of exercise. 1. After raising your hands in front of you, carefully look at your hands for a few seconds. Then we close our eyes and try to mentally see the image of our hands in the same place where they are at the moment. In other words, we connect the image with the physical body (in this case, we are talking only about the hands).

Next, we perform the exercise, moving the hands and, at the same time, their way, i.e. the image of the hands and real physical hands are superimposed on each other. The rate of movement should be such that the image does not come off the brushes (as a rule, the possible speed of movement of the image is low).

After mastering this stage, we connect to work with the etheric body. For this, it is necessary to learn how to keep relaxed all the muscles that are not involved in the performance of movements, and to work with sensations.

At the next stage of development, we connect the astral body (the sphere of emotions). We try to perform all the exercises in high spirits or joyfully.

I wish you every success and all the best.

Gymnastics of Dr. Bubnovsky

Back and joint pain is a real scourge of our time. In addition to this, a person may be pestered with unpleasant sensations of neuralgia or muscle spasms.
It is not always necessary to treat this with medication - you can and should use exercise therapy. Besides drug treatment relieves pain more than eliminates the problem itself.

Considerable success in the field remedial gymnastics was made and tested by Dr. Bubnovsky. What does his gymnastics give:

  1. Prevents abrasion and pinching of intervertebral discs.
  2. The joints become more flexible.
  3. Blood circulation in tissues and muscles improves.
  4. Discomfort in the joints and back is greatly reduced.

The essence of Bubnovsky's gymnastics is that it is aimed not only at improving the mobility of the joints and spine, but also at restoring the reserve capabilities of the body.

By using special exercises, selected by a doctor, patients struggle with physical inactivity, as well as diseases accompanying this harmful phenomenon. Any lesson by Dr. Bubnovsky is available on the Internet.

There is a special MTB simulator invented by a famous doctor who also helps in this process.

The basis of the Bubnovsky method is the use of kinesitherapy (movement therapy). There are two types of gymnastics:

  • Responsive - for beginners.
  • Articular - for a patient who is already physically prepared after the first type of gymnastics.

An individual program is selected for each patient, if the classes are conducted by the doctor himself or his assistants.

If suddenly breathing becomes more frequent, you need to stop for the duration of the lesson, while you calm down and relax. And only after that, continue articular gymnastics.

The results from exercise directly depend on the personal qualities of each person. It is appropriate to show some tenacity and perseverance here.

Only daily training (if possible in the morning) will bring the expected success. The minimum time spent on muscular-articular gymnastics is 20 minutes. As a result, not a single joint will be missed, which would not be touched by the load from this workout.

Children's activities should be carried out with less intensity and duration.

  1. Muscles and joints of the neck.
  2. Further, everything in descending order (in order)
  3. End of the workout - exercise for the feet.

In this type of gymnastics, considerable attention is paid to the knees and spine.

The implementation of the Olga Yanchuk complex will allow you to master yoga if you wish, moreover, its most complex elements. Lessons can be learned through video materials that are available to everyone.

In this system, as in yoga, great importance is attached to the psychological aspect. Performing this or that exercise, you need to concentrate your own consciousness on that part of the body that is training at this moment. You need to imagine that things are getting better in all respects:

  • More flexible
  • More beautiful
  • More perfect

Valentin Dikul developed the so-called base complex those exercises with the help of which physical activity is restored.

Joint gymnastics is a set of specific movements that stimulate the production of joint lubrication, make tendons and muscles elastic. It does not provide for heavy loads, the main effect is achieved due to the systematicness of classes. Joint gymnastics is designed for the elderly, people with joint tissue diseases, as well as those who want to make their body more flexible.

The benefits of joint gymnastics are undeniable. As a result of physical inactivity, to which not only the elderly, but also young people are exposed, it is the joints that suffer in the first place. The amount of lubricant produced is reduced, the joint becomes inflamed and begins to deteriorate. This leads to arthrosis, arthritis, osteochondrosis, which doctors diagnose at an increasingly early age. Every year the number of cases is growing, and almost everyone can avoid troubles with joints. Joint gymnastics will help maintain health and restore joint tissue after viral diseases and injuries, which most often lead to various joint diseases.

Joint gymnastics - basic exercises

Joint gymnastics can be included in the complex of physiotherapy exercises, or performed separately. It can be done at home and in the club, and it brings the greatest effect if it is performed on fresh air... The blood, filled with pure oxygen, quickly carries useful substances to the muscles and joints. They become elastic and restore the lost flexibility.

Joint gymnastics includes exercises for all groups of joints - from the neck to the feet. The minimum time allotted for it should be at least 30 minutes. The frequency of execution is every other day. The peculiarities of articular gymnastics is that it does not require strong muscle tension. These are cardio exercises, the effect of which depends on the frequency of repetitions and the regularity of training.

Joint gymnastics begins with a warm-up. The time to complete it is 10-15 minutes. All joints are kneaded in turn. The first exercise is for the feet... Standing or sitting, place your feet together and wiggle your toes. Then - step from heel to toe. Rotate your feet clockwise and counterclockwise. Do the exercise first with the left, then with the right foot.

Warm up for knee joints. Sitting or standing, bring your legs slightly bent at the knees and spread them apart. You should feel the tension in the thigh muscles - then the exercise is done correctly.

Spine warm-up- slopes and deflections. Exercise should be done with great care. They are contraindicated for people suffering from diseases of the spine. They can do a set of exercises for the back only after consulting a doctor.

If there are no problems with the spine, then the following joint gymnastics is performed: tilting the body in different directions, rotating it clockwise and counterclockwise, exercise “cat” - standing on the floor, rest on the palms and knees, the back bends down and bends up. These are the basic warm-up exercises for the spine.

Warm up for the neck and shoulder joints - hand rotation clockwise and counterclockwise, head tilt and neck rotation.

Warm up for elbows- relaxed hands are lowered along the body, fingers are slightly clenched in fists. The arms are alternately bent at the elbows, rising to the forearms.

Features of joint gymnastics

Joint gymnastics for the elderly is less intense than for people under 50 and trained athletes. At the same time, the benefits of articular gymnastics for older people are great. Therefore, it is imperative to perform the exercises. You can start with a warm-up, gradually adding movements from the main complex.

Joint gymnastics for beginners is designed for people suffering from joint diseases as well as for those who have suffered an injury. It can also be performed by those who are just starting their path in sports. It is very important to prepare joints and tendons for serious training, since if these tissues are not elastic, a variety of injuries can occur under stress.

3.18. Joint gymnastics in associative names

Joint gymnastics is a very useful general strengthening gymnastics for all ages, including children. But the teaching methodology in adult groups is not suitable for working with children. Experience shows that the emphasis on therapeutic effect does not work in joint gymnastics, much top scores gives an emphasis on the figurative presentation of the exercises performed. The following associative array is proposed, which each teacher can supplement and change at his own discretion.

Let the children introduce:

a) that the arms and legs look out of the water, and they watch them sitting on the bottom;

b) that they are sitting in the ground, and their hands and feet are heavy;

c) that the arms and legs are light and separate from each other;

d) that they are the end of the tongues of flame, and their movements are sharp and fast.

If the children in the group are not physically prepared enough, then it is necessary to reduce the time of the exercise or make up their own complexes that are feasible for the children.

Combine business with pleasure. Imagine any physical exercise as a game that should be interesting for children.

Children are windy, and sometimes one word is enough to change their state. On the one hand, you should always think of what you are saying to the child, and on the other hand, you need to play with him, travel in the world of play, return and rejoice. Explain in passing, why articular gymnastics is needed, when it can be used, for what diseases, what are the results of its implementation.

Joint gymnastics for children

Gymnastics gives a daily muscle load necessary for a person, strengthens the muscles of the back, body, abdomen, prevents the formation of fatty deposits, strengthens and develops joints, frees them from salt deposits, strengthens the skeletal system, and makes the spine flexible. In addition, gymnastics also gives a psychological effect: it increases activity, gives a surge of cheerfulness, eliminates blues and melancholy, and improves mood.

The exercises of the complex are performed on an empty stomach (no earlier than 2.5-3 hours after eating), in the morning (this is not the most the best time for the complex), during the day or in the evening, but no later than an hour before bedtime. 10–20 minutes after doing gymnastics, if you want, you can eat.

All muscles not involved in the exercise should be relaxed. Breathing only through the nose. Where it is not specifically stated, breathing is arbitrary, calm.

The load in the exercises can be dosed both by the number of repetitions and by the gradual complication of some exercises as the complex is mastered.

During the exercises performed while sitting, the load is regulated by the method of landing the body in the initial position (IP). When performing exercises while sitting on a chair with a full seat (the back does not touch the back of the chair) - the load is minimal, when landing on the edge of the chair - the load increases. When performing the same exercises on the floor, the load is maximum.

A number of joint gymnastics exercises are performed from the "hanging" position. To "hang out" means - in a sitting position, stretch your straight arms and legs forward so that the legs along their entire length - from thighs to calves and heels - do not touch the floor. Support on a rug or on a chair in this sitting position is carried out only at the expense of the pelvic bones. At the same time, the abdominal muscles are tense and maintain the balance of the whole body.

Joint gymnastics is a specially developed set of physical exercises, the purpose of which is to stimulate work, strengthen the joints of the body. Its difference from ordinary physical education is that exercises have the effect of not strengthening the muscles, but expanding the mobility of the joint. Therefore, these activities are easy to perform. They are designed for older people with one or another joint disease, however, given that such diseases are rapidly growing younger, everyone can perform them as a prophylaxis.

The modern lifestyle brings most of the population into a state of hypodynamia - joints in such conditions suffer greatly: the amount of lubricant in the joint decreases, inflammation begins and the gradual destruction of internal tissues. This is how arthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis, etc. develop.

Joint gymnastics has a versatile effect on the body. With its help, a number of positive effects are achieved:

  • muscle fibers and ligaments surrounding the joint become stronger and more elastic;
  • synovial fluid is formed in sufficient quantities;
  • the body is prepared for heavy loads;
  • no salts are deposited in the joints;
  • blood flow and tissue nutrition is stimulated;
  • the person becomes more cheerful and energetic.

Exercising on a regular basis is an excellent method of preventing all pathologies that can affect the joint and disrupt its work. If you already have any pathologies, you will need to consult a specialist to develop the most effective complex.
