Sports Physiotherapy

We address injuries such as sprains, muscle overload, muscle tears, tendinopathies or plantar fasciitis, which are common in athletes who have been injured during the test, due to inadequate progression, overtraining or due to the stress of high-level competition.

If medicine gives years to life, physiotherapy gives life to years. It is not only about living, but also about the quality of life. And that is where physiotherapy has a lot to say. Its benefits are multiple.

Massage and stretching

Massage is a set of techniques aimed at alleviating muscle pain, whether it is due to tension, energy blockage or lack of tone.

With sports massage we can activate your muscle fibers, to generate vasodilation, and reduce muscle fatigue. To do this we will use some stronger techniques in terms of pressure and depth, since the objective is to reach deep muscle fibers. It will help all of your body’s systems to function better and be at 100%.

We will also focus on preventing and treating injuries that may appear due to your sporting gesture, since, depending on the sport you practice, some muscles or joints will be more affected than others.

Depending on whether it is a treatment before the competition, or for recovery after the test, or for unwinding between training sessions, the techniques used will vary.

Education is the key to mitigating physical problems “Treat yourself + eat well + rest = live better”

Lymphatic drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a type of massage that can help combat swelling and cellulite, help recover from injuries, reduce bruising, promote healing, improve blood circulation and tissue oxygenation, as well as promote the elimination of toxins. It is performed with gentle movements and maintained at a slow pace, to avoid the rupture of lymphatic vessels.

This manual technique helps the tissues recover more superficially. It helps reabsorb fluid, stimulating and facilitating the passage of lymph through the circulatory system. It is a resource used by the body when intense or prolonged exercise has been performed.

It is very effective after sports tests, but lymphatic drainage can also be indicated during pregnancy, after plastic surgery, injuries and trauma to muscles, tendons or joints, during the menstrual period, after any surgery and is a priority after cancer treatment, to treat lymphedema.

Kinesiotape or neuromuscular taping

This innovative tape consists of a longitudinally adhesive cotton fabric with a protective paper. The design of the tape closely resembles human skin, which has flexibility or stretch, allowing the injury to recover quickly and naturally. At a sporting level, it easily adapts to the execution of any sport because it does not limit movement, but the elastic bandage can correct the alignment of weak muscles, facilitating movement.

Due to its firmness when adhering to the skin, it produces relief from the pressure that inflammation or injury can exert on the nociceptors that detect the presence of the injury. In turn, it produces a stimulation of the mechanoreceptors that significantly improves proprioception and produces a great improvement at the joint and muscle level.

It is also of enormous help in different types of pathologies: musculoskeletal ailments, circulatory disorders, visceral dysfunctions and neurological diseases, after plastic surgery, injuries and traumas to muscles, tendons or joints, during the menstrual period, after any surgery and is a priority after oncological treatment, to treat lymphedema.

Dry puncture

It consists of introducing an acupuncture needle directly into the trigger point (it should be noted that the needle is not an injection, so no substance is applied to the trigger point). A certain pressure and contraction is exerted on the muscle fiber to act on the trigger point: the stimulation prevents the continued release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that perpetuates the contraction. Dry needling generates a decrease in pain and improves inflammatory processes in the area. It is a technique that can be a little annoying for the patient, but don’t worry… at all times we will explain each part of the technique to you, and afterwards you will feel better. It significantly improves proprioception and produces a great improvement at the joint and muscle level.
