The sports physiotherapist

 

 

The sports physiotherapist must be able to manage all sport diseases, situations "hot" on the ground or "cold" in their surgery.
He is part of the healthcare team and help athletes for a competition.
After a biomechanical and postural  diagnosis made by podoposturologist, it’s time to choose the most appropriate rehabilitative care, although many therapies have low efficiency.

The physiotherapist  solves the problem almost immediately or prescribes a simple pleasure or intervenes with a therapy (low efficiency) so as not to lose the customer , but he will use the rest  as "secret arm ".
In the latter case, he will prescribe a course of treatment with alternate-day and the problem  disappears into five sessions (10/12 days), but it would have gone the same way.
Unlike the case in which the physiotherapist  uses badly the sophisticated instrumentation, that  in the hands of designers would have a good efficiency.

Unfortunately if you don’t understand the physiological and physical conditions of functioning, you will not get the same results that are described in a scientific study.
The recovery times are slightly lower than the rest simple (but the sessions are more expensive than conventional therapies!)

The slow recovery - This recovery is one of the weapons used by physiotherapists to lengthen the time of treatment, waiting the inactivity. It is common to hear: " Yes, you can resume the activity, but slowly . Do not run too much...."

Today there are effective means of improvement (electrical stimulation), and therefore this position is not justified for two reasons:
a) Often the disease has a longer recovery time for an old situation still unresolved;
b) A person who runs and trains every day but he feels pain, has an unsolved problem

How to heal - After these considerations, the attitude to have with the physiotherapist is as follows:
a) ask about the prognosis to rest
b) Ask about the course of treatment and time of therapy. Therapy time should give a full recovery, not partial. If these times don't give a real gain, preferring the rest.

When an accident occurs there is often an overload.
After the accident, the part cured recovers  "before " that the rest of the apparatus have absorbed the overload, predisposing them to relapse.
Certainly any athlete should have a valid physiotherapist.

The Souchard Method or RPG (Global Postural Reeducation)
The method Sochaurd is derived from Mezieres and its founder was a student and collaborator of the French Posture.
This method is based on a clear distinction between behavior and role of the static muscles and dynamic muscle.

This method is based on the principle that: the static muscles are exercised in a eccentric  way and the dynamic muscles in concentric way.
And so a shortening  of the static muscles will lead toa retraction and an excessive resistance to elongation, while the dynamics muscles can be freely shortened (contracted)

The Souchard Method also gives particular attention to respiratory muscle that is called “diaphragm” and to the fiber nerve that supports it, therefore it gives great importance to the synergistic action that is created with the posterior chain muscles and the ileo-psoas muscle.
Souchard identifies a series of muscular chains that can then be summarized in two larger groups: anterior and posterior.

Before starting the treatment, there is a more accurate assessment of the patient on the dynamic / static muscles, after a case history on his general health and lifestyle

Through this evaluation can be identified two morphological pattern.
The first, called anterior, includes features such as a forward position of the head (head forward), Hyperkyphosis or hyper roundback, hyperlordosis, anteversion of the pelvis, femur internally rotated and valgus knees, foot and heel valgus.
The second or posterior, provides features such as: back flat, lumbar verticalization and subsequent problems with diaphragms, retroverso pelvis, varus knees, heel and varus foo
