Let's find once again Stéphane Penso. The tip this week is osteopathy. Frequently used after an injury, this practice is very effective in prevention.

Osteopathy is a method of care, manual, which aims to treat mobility restrictions affecting all the structures that make up the body. It can be loss of mobility in the joints, muscles, ligaments or viscera. It requires specific skills and a perfect knowledge of the functioning of the human body.

The osteopath therefore intervenes when there is a mechanical problem to be resolved.

Osteopathy is not indicated in the inflammatory phase, nor even in the acute phase of trauma. It is a question of solving a post-traumatic mechanical problem, then if necessary, the doctor or the physiotherapist will take care of the postural pain, with also an important role in the therapeutic education of the patients in order to prevent rather than relieve again. .

And among athletes?

In the case of athletes, an osteopath can help on the one hand to repair traumatic shocks, to relieve pain, and on the other hand to prevent a mechanical problem as well as to improve performance.

Among players of padel, the joints are strained. Changes of direction, jumps, hitting balls in various positions, body imbalances, nothing spares your muscles and joints.

The practice of osteopathy participates in the maintenance, mechanical repair, recovery and physical preparation of the athlete.

Top athletes resort to osteopathy several times a month. In athletes who practice several times a week, it is interesting to consult once a month or every 1 months. Finally, and for everyone, organizing a visit to your osteopath once a year is the minimum required.
