SANTA POLA SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY
SANTA POLA SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC
A common belief is to see this specialist only if some physical discomfort or injury occurs. But in reality, it’s best if these types of problems can be prevented. Of course! That’s why, before starting any sport or exercise program, it’s important to go to the doctor for more than just a general checkup. It’s also crucial to consult a sports physical therapist. They’ll tell you how to avoid injuries depending on your particular case.
And to make it even more comprehensive, at Policlínica del Río-Hortega we don’t just have a sports physiotherapist. You can also find a nutritionist who will be in charge of giving you the appropriate diet based on your age, physical condition, and special needs. At our clinic, we offer rheumatic, pediatric, and pelvic floor physiotherapy, as well as trauma, obstetric, and neurological physiotherapy, and osteopathy (massages and joint manipulation).

What is sports physiotherapy?
A sports physiotherapist performs many roles. First, they have extensive knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the injury in question. Together with a proper medical diagnosis, they will design a series of protocols and activities to be performed. This way, you’ll have a professional dedicated to helping you recover faster.
But that’s not all, because sports physiotherapy encompasses other complementary techniques. For example, osteopathy, global postural re-education, dry needling, manual lymphatic drainage, etc. The latter is a widely used technique for ankle sprains that present with severe inflammation. All of the above means that you must have sufficient knowledge to know which techniques to apply at all times.
