Prescribing Exercise and Medical Considerations

Regular physical exercise is associated with several benefits that contribute to better physical and mental health.
Therefore, exercise can contribute to a better quality of life, reducing the incidence of chronic diseases and increasing life expectancy.

However, certain silent, undiagnosed illnesses, such as cardiovascular, metabolic and pulmonary diseases, may be revealed during some physical tests, such as an exercise stress test.
If these health problems are revealed during exercise, they can cause unpleasant or serious health situations.
It is therefore important to consult a doctor before starting any exercise practice.

It is common to see individuals in the physically active population who suffer musculoskeletal injuries, such as sprains, strains, tendonitis, herniated discs, which are taken lightly without any treatment, hoping that time will cure them.

In the same way, those who suffer from deviations of the physiological curvature of the spine, and do not treat them properly, are inviting greater future problems. By rebalancing these situations, we can prevent threats to the quality of life and health in general.

It is advisable to consult a specialist in health and exercise before beginning a physical activity, who will recognise the causes, identify inconsistencies, which can prevent and treat injuries and illnesses.
We must bear in mind that many health problems are silent, they don't manifest themselves.

Do a screening test even without symptoms.
