Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro 2016
Paralympics 2016 in Rio de Janeiro are over. Participating with Polish medical mission during those games was another wonderful experience which gave me new tools and opportunities that will be useful for my future career. Physiotherapeutic care during such prestigious games mainly relies on quick reaction in case of pain or eventual injury prevention. Each physiotherapist has his or her own reliable methods based on long term experience. Thanks to that the procedures elicit expected therapeutic effects. The most popular therapeutic procedures are:
- massage: sport, relaxing, crosswise
- manual therapy
- soft tissues techniques
- physical therapy
- stretching
- dry needling
- and many more
