Webinar 'Bewegen en sporten met schildklierklachten'

Regular exercise and sports are good for everyone. But if you're not (yet) properly regulated on thyroid medication, it can be very difficult to get moving or maintain your activity. After all, you're already so tired. Movement problems can actually be a barrier to starting or resuming exercise. This can lead to (even) less exercise, feeling less fit, and thus a reduced quality of life. Even if you're stable, you can still experience temporary symptoms due to imbalances. And some people with thyroid disorders continue to experience symptoms such as muscle and joint pain and shortness of breath. Maintaining your activity and exercising is also more difficult in these cases. Speakers at the webinar: Jessica Gal, sports physician with her own sports medicine advisory center, and Lorraine McNab, Sports Physio-Manual Therapist, Master in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation in Sports. In her presentation, Jessica will address symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, loss of strength, muscle pain, or palpitations. She demonstrates the effects of an underactive or overactive thyroid on your body. Understanding the underlying causes of movement problems can help you better understand your own body and thus improve your fitness and exercise, both in good and bad times with your thyroid. Lorraine McNab is a thyroid patient herself, and through her training, she researches the effects of an exercise program in patients with treated hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and persistent movement problems. In her presentation, she provides tips and advice on: • What to do and what not to do when exercising and playing sports • Choose your best time of day for exercising and playing sports • The importance of rest periods during exercise and playing sports: how to approach recovery The webinar "Exercise and Sports with Thyroid Problems" took place on May 26, 2021, as part of Thyroid Awareness Week.
