Exercise is the best treatment for gastroptosis

The main cause of gastroptosis is bad living habits. Exercising right after a meal will cause gastroptosis in the long run. To improve gastroptosis, you should eat small meals frequently and do some auxiliary training. Doing sit-ups, abdominal wall exercises, and leg raises every day can all relieve gastroptosis.

Sit-ups: Lie on your back on the bed, place your hands on both sides of your body, lift your head up, use the strength of your abdominal muscles to sit up, and then lie down again. If you cannot sit up in bed without support, you can use your hands to help you. Do this 10 to 20 times each morning and evening.

Lie on your back and lift your chest: Lie on your back in bed, support your body with your head and legs, and use force to lift your chest and abdomen up, up and down. Do this 10 to 20 times each morning and evening.

Lie on your back and raise your head: Lie on your back on the bed, hold the back of your head with both hands, lift your head as high as possible, stay for two seconds and then let it fall. Do this 10 to 20 times every morning and evening.

Lie on your back and lift your hips: Lie on your back on the bed, place your hands on both sides of your body, bend your legs, put your feet on the bed, lift your hips as high as possible, stay for two or three seconds and then put them down. Do this 5 to 10 times every morning and evening.

Leg raising exercise: Lie on your back with your legs together and raise your legs straight. Hold them 20 to 30 cm above the bed and keep them still. Hold your legs for about 10 seconds, then return to the original position and do it a second time. Do it 10 to 20 times in the morning and evening.

Leg swinging exercise: Lie on your back with your legs together and lift your legs straight. Stop 20 to 30 cm away from the bed, then slowly swing back and forth to both sides. Do this 10 to 20 times each morning and evening.

V-shaped balance exercise: Sit down, raise your feet, straighten your knees and toes, raise your arms, keep your whole body in a V shape, hold for 30 seconds, and do it 5 to 10 times every morning and evening.

Walking on the spot with your legs raised high: Stand on the ground, raise both legs alternately, bend the knees, and make the thighs at right angles to the body. Then raise and put them down, as if you were marching on the spot. Walk 200 steps a day.

Abdominal wall exercise: coordinate with breathing exercises to make the abdominal wall expand and contract and move back and forth, strengthening the abdominal muscles so that they can provide certain support to the stomach. Do this once before each meal, 30 to 50 times each time.

Abdominal massage: You can stand, sit or lie on your back. Use your right palm to massage your abdomen up and down, left and right, from light to heavy, from slow to fast. Massage for two or three minutes a day. The best effect is achieved when you are on an empty stomach.

Patients can choose 2 to 3 of the above-mentioned movements and practice them every day to achieve better results. But be aware that when using exercise therapy, you should not rush for results and should start with a small amount of exercise. You should pay attention to proper rest after each meal and avoid excessive exercise to avoid increasing the burden on your stomach.
