During the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games that will take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11, 2024, the presence of a physiotherapist to accompany the athletes is recommended.
Your physiotherapist from the CAREA sports physiotherapy and osteopathy practices in Paris explains why a physiotherapist MUST accompany you to the Olympics.
Sport is at the heart of the activity of the physiotherapists and osteopaths of the CAREA sports physiotherapy and rehabilitation centers in Paris. Over the years, our practitioners have acquired extensive experience in supporting athletes during their events in France and abroad. This is the case of Matthieu Robert who is an osteopath and physiotherapist and who is also registered with the French Conseil de l’Ordre des Kinésithérapeutes (the French National Council of the Order of physiotherapists), Benjamin Noury who is also a physiotherapist registered with the French National Council of the Order of physiotherapists and David Redrado who is a sports osteopath registered with the national Registre des Ostéopathes de France.
Matthieu, who is a crossfit enthusiast and a black belt in Judo, has accompanied top athletes in various types of competitions:
Benjamin, a running and judo enthusiast, has brought his expertise to high-level athletes in various competitions:
David, a football and CrossFit fan, has acquired extensive experience working with top athletes in different competitions:
Due to his activity as a physiotherapist and his many experiences in the field of sport, Matthieu – the founder of the CAREA balneotherapy physiotherapy and sport osteopathy practices – perfectly masters the challenges related to physical activity of any kind. Based in Paris, Matthieu and his team of sports physiotherapists, physiotherapists and osteopaths will stand alongside athletes of all nationalities at each event of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games to offer them the care and advice they’d need.
Our sports physiotherapists in Paris offer a preferential welcome to athletes participating in the 2024 Olympic Games in the two practices CAREA Paris 14 and Paris 8. The sports physiotherapist and osteopathy practice center CAREA Paris 14 is inside the French Judo Federation headquarter.
Our practitioners will be at your disposal throughout this adventure. CAREA physiotherapists and osteopaths also speak English and Spanish, making the communication between patients and practitioners smoother.
The sports physio acts at each level of the competition: before, during and after.
Before an athlete participates in the Olympic Games, the CAREA osteopathic physiotherapist helps prepare them. For this purpose, he uses physiotherapy techniques that help prepare the deep tissues of athletes for the sporting event. These techniques help avoid injuries. Hence, manual therapy, muscle strengthening exercises, and joint mobilizations make it possible to prevent injuries due to lack of mobility during the event (such as a sprained ankle, for example or a ligament tear as a rupture of the ACL, knee injury). A running analysis helps the physiotherapist check the stride and to anticipate injuries on the field.
The quantification of mechanical stress is a fundamental point to avoid injury during a sporting event: during the months preceding the competition, the sports physiotherapist teaches his patients to assess the amount of effort they can provide without feeling pain. and without injury. If the pain is greater than 3/10 during training, immediately after or the next day, the risk of injury is higher.
He also gives advice to his patient on the lifestyle to adopt to preserve his good health as well as on the foods to favor to prepare the body for the effort.
The sports physio stays with the athlete until they enter the field to support and encourage them. He also accompanies them in their warm-ups and stretching. This step is necessary for the smooth running of the competition. If an injury occurs on the field, the physiotherapist is present to provide first aid care and relieve the pain before the rehabilitation starts at the CAREA physiotherapy center in Paris 8 or Paris 14.
During the recovery, the physiotherapist performs a therapeutic massage with or without a massage gun.
Then, he will apply one or more of the following techniques:
Tecar Therapy is a technology used by CAREA physiotherapists and osteopaths during the recovery phase of athletes to boost blood and lymphatic circulation using electrotherapy. It also helps relieve joint and muscle pain and accelerate the healing of an injured muscle or joint. Our sports physiotherapists use it to treat injuries such as sprained ankles, lower back pain, and sports tendinitis.
The application of colored k-taping strips can treat any pain, stimulate blood circulation and relax the muscles.
Cupping therapy, also known as “hijama”, guarantees good muscle recovery for athletes and relieves aches.
Our physiotherapists answer your questions:
The shock wave therapy that our physiotherapists practice in our CAREA offices in Paris has no proper drawbacks. Indeed, contrary to what one might think, this technique is not particularly painful because the sports physio avoids with all means triggering the pain. However, it is common to feel discomfort, a feeling of heat on the skin and tingling that disappears immediately after the session. So the advantages of shockwaves outweigh the disadvantages.
After an Olympic Games competition, sports physiotherapists perform sports recovery massage on athletes. This physiotherapy technique relieves the muscles by activating the intramuscular blood system. It revolves around vibrations, massages, percussion and kneading that physiotherapists perform using their hands. Eona® massage oils and balms are used to increase the patient’s well-being during the session.
The massage gun massages the muscles on trigger points or congested body parts after competition, and intense training sessions. Our physiotherapists use Theragun® brand massage guns to improve blood circulation, relax muscles and reduce possible inflammation.
During the Olympic and Paralympic Games, osteopathy can really help athletes. Osteopaths use their hands to analyze mobility and any muscle tension someone may be undergoing before offering treatment. During sports competitions, the osteopath works hand in hand with the sports physiotherapist and the sports doctor. It helps with mechanical repair in case of injury, recovery and physical preparation.
Osteopathy is a global therapy that acts on muscle and tissue imbalances as well as on the mobility and alignment of joints in the body. To do this, osteopaths work on the body as a whole, taking into account that sports injuries are often the result of underlying imbalances.
To treat his sports patients, the physio-osteopath or the osteopath of the CAREA physiotherapy centers uses manual techniques such as passive manual mobilizations, fasciatherapy, muscle energy techniques, cranial and visceral techniques, massage and stretching that relieves pain and restores various bodily functions. Any loss of mobility in the joints, muscles, ligaments or viscera can lead to an imbalance. In athletes, this imbalance appears through symptoms ranging from simple muscle contractions to chronic pain affecting their performance.
Osteopathic care is preferred in some sports disciplines. This is the case of contact sports such as volleyball, basketball, and rugby.
