The J. Cuenca Clinics team once again puts its great knowledge at the service of Padel World Press readers. On this occasion, they will tell us about a circumstance that occurred during the Estrella Damm Barcelona Master and that will help us to know the important work that physios can carry out during tournaments.
Padel World Press .- Don't miss this great article, in which the group of professionals who are already trusted by many professional players, reveals to us how was the specific work they had to do with Carolina Navarro during the second Master of the 2016 season ...
In that tournament one of those circumstances occurred for which they have to be fully prepared.
"It's the only look I never want to see in her.
Thursday; eighth in the Master of Barcelona. Shortly after starting the game, Carolina Navarro fixed her eyes on my eyes. Something happens…
My own nervousness of the party becomes concern. I can assure you that it is the worst feeling I can have as a professional.
He touches his forearm after some point and certain blows do not leave his shovel with the precision of a surgeon to which he has accustomed us. Carol and Ceci strengthen the advantage. They are playing well. The result is the best balsam when something bothersome. They solve the fast game. I approach congratulations and my head is already thinking about the protocol of care until the time of the next game.
The first thing I do is talk to the player and get all the information: when she started to notice it, the exact point, where it was located, if it is transmitted to other areas, etc. We continue with a localized cold treatment. During the match a specific cream was applied for when these circumstances occur.
We arrived at the hotel and made a first diagnosis. It has a specially contracted muscle area that prevents it from performing a couple of blows effectively. It is an injury that at any other time would not be important but, less than twelve hours from the next match, it is. I start manually to unload the entire arm. There are other areas also affected. I join the dry needling treatment, anti-inflammatory cream and during all that remains of the day we mark some guidelines of cryotherapy and specific stretches.
The sensations during Friday are better. Carolina's treatment and work make the arm react positively. Shortly before playing we secure the forearm with a technical bandage with kinesiotape and prepare, in the warm-up, all the affected muscular zone so that it arrives in the most optimal conditions.
After the game has not noticed pains, only a slight sense of logical heaviness and already expected.
We tried again the zone and we continued with the whole line of the previous day.
As you know, they play the final. After three sets there is no pain at the end of the tournament.
This is the work of the physios when we travel with players. My intention with this article is not to evaluate my work as a physiotherapist but to convey the importance of teamwork. The priority in times of uncertainty is that the athlete continues his way in the best possible conditions.
Of course, the trust and gratitude for a job well done is a real pride for any professional ... Thanks to you, Carol.
