That is why the problem of overweight is urgent and needs to be studied. Obesity is a chronic disease which is characterized by excessive fat content in the body and includes a heterogeneous group of close pathological conditions. Its main causes could be: genetic, hormonal, nervous, psychological, metabolic, socio-economic factors. For successful treatment, and especially for the recovery of overweight patients, there is a proper regime of motor activity. To overcome this disease, the most effective means of physical rehabilitation are morning exercises and movement therapy, massage, physiotherapy, diet therapy and psychotherapy.
Therapeutic physical education is one of the most important elements of the complex rehabilitation of obese and overweight women, whose main objectives are the increase of energy consumption, oxidation-reduction and metabolic processes; decrease of excess body weight and strengthening the muscles of the body; improvement of the function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and other systems; restoration of the adaptation of organism to physical activity; normalization and improvement of the motor system.

Therefore, the rehabilitation of such people will necessarily be combined with psychotherapy.
