Sports physiotherapy and injuries prevention

Sports physiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the cure and rehabilitation of athletes and active people. In this field, a crucial aspect is injuries prevention. With the increase in participation in professional and amateur sports and the intensification of training, preventive physiotherapy is becoming essential to reduce the risk of injury.

Prevention in sport

Athletes, professionals and amateurs, are always looking for effective techniques to reduce injuries risk and recovery time. Sports physiotherapy focuses on the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries through a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual techniques and innovative devices.

The devices turn out to be crucial tools in this field, thanks to their ability to optimise the recovery and prevent future damages.

Isokinetics

Isokinetics is a key physiotherapy method, in this case preventive physiotherapy, used to assess and train muscle strength in a controlled and safe manner.

• precise control of the load: minimises the risk of overloading and injury;
• accommodating resistance: the device automatically adjusts resistance according to the force expressed by the patient;
• objective measurement: allows the evaluation of strength;
• specific and progressive training: improves eccentric strength, which is essential for preventing injuries.

Using isokinetics with Easytech’s Genu and Prima devices allows a scientific and customised approach to injury prevention by improving muscle strength, correcting imbalances and reducing the risk of injury.

Nordic Hamstring

The Nordic Hamstring exercise performed with N3 is very useful in preventive physiotherapy because:

• it reduces the risk of hamstring injuries due to the controlled eccentric work;
• it allows progressive strength adaptation without overloading the patient;
• it presents the possibility of customising the load according to the patient’s level of strength and recovery;
• it makes the exercise independent from the operator.

Easytech’s N3 is an advanced tool for the prevention and rehabilitation of injury to the hamstring muscles, ideal for athletes and patients in recovery. Its use in physiotherapy allows the Nordic Hamstring exercise to be performed in a safe, progressive and customised manner.

Tecar therapy

It has numerous preventive benefits that are particularly useful for athletes. The effectiveness of this treatment results in:

• Improved flexibility and mobility: helps reduce muscle contractures and promotes muscle relaxation, preventing cramps or muscle injuries, which are very common in endurance sports or explosive movements;
• Increased blood circulation: helps oxygenate muscle tissue, keeping muscle fibres in good condition and more resistant to trauma or tension;
• Pre- and post-training treatments: tecar therapy can be used before training to warm up muscles, preparing tissues for intense exertion, and after training to reduce muscle fatigue and speed up recovery.

Easytech has a wide range of tecar therapy machines, all part of the T Care line. The possibility of working with different frequencies with both the T Care Plus and T Care Compact devices makes it possible to optimise treatment in terms of depth of stimulation. The wide range of specific handpieces and accessories in the T Care line for tecar therapy makes it easy to treat different anatomical regions.

Physio Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia is defined as thermotherapy that manages to treat tissues in the narrow temperature range in which heat optimises its therapeutic effectiveness. In preventive physiotherapy, it is used to:

• increase blood circulation
• improve tissue elasticity;
• prevent the risk of injury;
• relax muscles;
• reduce joint stiffness;
• improve oxygenation of muscles to prepare them for future efforts.

Easytech’s Delta allows skeletal muscle districts to be thermally stimulated with control over the depth and intensity of stimulation (dose). Used preventively, it supports general physical well-being and optimises muscle performance.

Regular preventive treatment advantages

Implementing a regular preventive programme has numerous benefits including:

• keeping the body in muscular balance;
• reducing muscle fatigue;
• optimising performance and physical endurance;
• maintaining joint mobility and muscle flexibility.

Furthermore, the innovative aspect in injury prevention is the customisation of treatments. Modern technologies allow practitioners to tailor treatment protocols to the specific needs and physical condition of each patient and collect real-time data on treatment progress.
