Esteban Arévalo, physiotherapist Atletico Madrid, and José Manuel Marin, MD, Real Madrid, is not it necessary that players have to go to Spain to treat injuries
The second day of the Sixteenth National Congress of Physiotherapy, UCAM has had outstanding professionals in the sports world.
José Manuel Marín, Doctor of Medical Services of Real Madrid and Associate Professor UCAM, Esteban Arévalo, physiotherapist Atletico Madrid, among others, have offered their presentations in the temple of the Monastery of Jeronimos
Esteban Arevalo stated in his speech how to work on a day to day in the world of football and more specifically within an elite team like Atletico Madrid. "Our job is not very different from what is done in other sports The big difference is the media coverage because when a player is injured there is much more attention than in other sports so you have to be very well prepared for that recoveries are as fast as possible. "
Another topical issue is the tendency of some elite players of Spain operated outside of serious injury, Arévalo states that "everyone is free to be operated anywhere and with anyone, but I've noticed that the Spaniards, both doctors and physiotherapists or trainers, we are in the world elite. Sorry, we have nothing to envy to professionals from other countries. "
Just this last thought, Dr. José Manuel Marín completely agreed: "I want to break a lance in favor of Spanish sports chiropractors can not quite understand how a Spanish athlete goes abroad for intervention as it seems. that in Spain there is no right professionals for the treatment of injuries, and that's very good. Khedira For, being a German player, you can understand that going to Germany to be operated but in the case of Spanish players not can be understood very well. "
In his presentation, Dr. Marin did subsection a fundamental aspect of the lesions, which is the return to competition.. "In any case, a player must return without being recovered not even the final of the European Cup there cases of athletes who have had to retire for risking too much. For some way, the big teams in there the figure of physical recovery because there is an intermediate time between medical discharge and return to pitch. That's where the recovery until that player can return to competition. "
During the day also intervened and Diz Francisco Rogelio Martínez, physiotherapist and doctor UCAM Murcia CB, or Juan Molina, a former Olympic athlete and professor at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports of UCAM.
Presentations and panel discussions will end this afternoon with the presence, among others, Carlos Enrique López, Getafe CF physiotherapist.
