If this state cannot be corrected in time, it is easy to cause disease.

The Outpatient Department of Martial Arts Health Care will formulate different exercise programs for different patients. For example, for some cervical spondylosis patients with qi deficiency and yang deficiency constitution, they will choose some traditional exercises such as Tai Chi, Baduanjin, and Wu Qin Xi, and teach them to exercise correctly. Because practice is a means of rehabilitation, the accuracy of movements is the guarantee of curative effect. For some patients with neck and low back pain with damp-heat constitution, after treatment, doctors will encourage them to actively participate in high-intensity aerobic exercise such as aerobics and marathon, and sweat through exercise to clear dampness and heat. At the same time, by evaluating the professional instruments of the world champions, the test calculates their optimal exercise intensity. Exercise is a means of treatment and health, and the amount of exercise is just like the dose of medicine, which is very important for efficacy and safety.
