Osteopathy and Polo
Osteopathy applied to the world of sport focuses on optimizing sports performance and preventing sports-related injuries. The polo horse must be considered an athlete and therefore treated as such. Our main objective is to be able to provide horses and players (due to the influence they have on horses) with the possibility of maintaining a healthy balance in the body, optimizing the function and mobility of the musculoskeletal structures and the different physiological systems.
As osteopaths specialising in sports, we carry out a thorough evaluation of the physical condition, medical history and short and long-term sporting objectives of the organisation. In this way, we can develop a personalised treatment plan that adapts to the needs of each organisation.
Key elements of the application of Osteopathy in the Polo
Injury Prevention
Osteopaths work to identify and correct biomechanical imbalances, particularly those produced by the demands of the game, which may predispose the athlete - pony and player - to repeated injuries. By understanding the biomechanics of the game, both of the horse and the player, the osteopath works to ensure that the body functions optimally, helping to reduce the risk of injury.
Injury Recovery
Following an injury, osteopathy, in conjunction with teamwork with veterinarians and other health professionals, can be very effective in speeding up recovery times. Using manual techniques, blood flow to the injured area can be improved, inflammation can be reduced, and tissue healing can be promoted. In addition, osteopaths work to restore normal function to joints and muscles, which is crucial for returning to athletic performance.
Performance Improvement
Osteopathy not only treats injuries, but can also help improve athletic performance by optimising the body's function. Osteopaths can work on postural alignment, joint mobility and muscle elasticity, which can contribute to better performance on the court and maintaining performance throughout the season.
Global Focus
Osteopathy takes a holistic and comprehensive approach, considering not only the injured part, but also how all parts of the body interact. This is especially important in sports, where balance and overall body coordination are essential for performance.
Pain and Stress Reduction
Athletes, especially during a demanding season, are prone to pain and tension. Osteopathy can help relieve muscle and joint pain, as well as reduce overall stress on the body, which can improve both the performance and general well-being of the athlete.
During sessions, osteopaths will use a variety of manual techniques, such as joint manipulations, stretching, myofascial release, ligamentous techniques and circulatory techniques to improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, optimize biomechanics and promote normal physiological functioning by optimizing blood flow and reducing nociception.
