Physiotherapy and readaptation

Sports Physiotherapy is a specialty of physiotherapy through which we seek better care, rehabilitation and injury prevention. Its main goals are to shorten recovery times, adapt the body to training, avoid risk factors, assess the situation of the injury, prevent injuries and improve the quality of training.

At the Rafa Nadal Academy, we have high-end, multidisciplinary equipment such as INDIBA, Ultrasound (Siemens), EME, Hyperice and a high level of knowledge in manual therapies and dressings to ensure the correct approach to each type of injury.

In addition, we have the technical support of Quirón Salud for any type of diagnostic imaging.

 

 

Sports readaptation aims to plan the entire process of returning to competition for an athlete who has suffered an injury. It is the link between the biological healing of the injury and the optimal state of the athlete to compete again without restrictions in the shortest possible time while minimizing the risk of suffering a recurrence (which would be more serious than the previous injury).

 

The return to competitive play must be carried out progressively, with planning and individualization of training being necessary to avoid subsequent injuries due to compensation at the anatomical and functional levels.

 

At the Academy, we have state-of-the-art machinery and techniques to carry out the following tests and treatments:

  • Isokinetic Strength Assessments: These measure muscular force exerted dynamically over a given range of motion, at a constant, programmable rate. This type of assessment allows for maximum muscle tension to be generated throughout the range of motion, as the resistance varies to accommodate the muscle tension produced at various points in the range of motion.

    The isokinetic test allows the strength and muscular power generated by the different muscle groups of the shoulder, hip, knee and ankle joints to be assessed objectively. It also determines if the muscle force generated by the patient or athlete is within normal ranges in relation to their sex, weight and age. The results obtained tell us if a person can start or go back to playing their sports safely.

 

  • Alter G treadmill: Thisis an anti-gravity treadmill, hermetically sealed and filled with air, which allows you to run at different speeds and inclines with reduced body weight. In this manner, we can apply an optimal load that maximizes healing and remodeling of the injured tissues, avoiding impact.

    The amount of body weight (BW) reduced can range from a slight reduction (90% BW) to 20% BW. Manipulating these variables (speed, incline, and % of BW) provides optimal effects on the morphology and mechanical properties of the musculoskeletal system. It allows for a progressive or gradual return to impact activity in lower extremity injuries such as stress fractures, and cartilage, ligament and muscle injuries.

 

  • Sports cryotherapy 4l/s "Cryosense": the Cryosense cold chamber has been specially developed for sports use. It is a decisive element of support for recovering from injuries and also helps to increase the physical performance of athletes. Cryotherapy for athletes is carried out in cabins that allow very low temperatures to be reached through the use of evaporated liquid nitrogen (between -110ºC to -196ºC) for 2-3 minutes in a controlled environment. This process involves a decrease in the temperature of the skin below +5ºC without affecting the body's core temperature.

 

  • Cryotherapy/contrast baths: Contrast baths are an excellent therapy to control inflammation in the face of injury, especially in the extremities. This technique consists of alternately immersing the injured limb in cold water and hot water. Among its benefits, we can highlight:
    • Increased blood flow.
    • The stimulation of vasodilation (increase in blood vessels) and vasoconstriction (decrease in the diameter of blood vessels).
    • The cleaning of tissues.
    • The reduction of edema.
    • Mobilization and stimulation of the autonomic nervous system.
    • The soaks are alternated for a total of up to 15 minutes, with the first and last soak in cold water. Ideally, baths are repeated 3 times a day.

Train hardPlay Safe

The facilities of the Academy have been adapted to comply with the safety and hygiene protocols established by health authorities. Thanks to synergy with QuirónSalud (healthcare partner of the Academy) the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar has been considered a success story by the press and international institutions, and an example of safety and trust thanks to its management during the health crisis caused by COVID-19.

 

It has also obtained the seal "Safe COVID-19 Protocol by Quirónsalud" issued by Applus +. This seal certifies the quality and efficiency of the Academy's work processes to guarantee the safety and well-being of all its players. We are very proud of our human team, which has obtained the experience and knowledge necessary to develop a protocol that guarantees a safe stay and sports practice in our facilities.

 

To guarantee a safe environment, all players and guests of the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar must comply with the health measures approved by the Government of the Balearic Islands, which include restrictions on the entry of passengers to Mallorca.

 

The preventive measures associated with the current pandemic for our players enrolled in the Junior Programs will be confirmed by the Players Desk team before the arrival of the players and their families, according to the context upon arrival.

 

Below are some of the safety measures that have been implemented to prevent COVID-19 contagion:

 

  • The facilities of the Academy have been adapted to comply with the safety and hygiene protocols established by health authorities. Increased frequency of disinfection and general cleaning, limitation of capacity in communal areas and the design of circuits guaranteeing the minimum safe distance are some of the measures which make up the protocol which has already been successfully implemented.

 

  • Our team has received comprehensive training, allowing them to apply the protocols for safety and prevention of infection recommended in each area of action. They are also responsible for teaching young people, conveying the importance of respecting the stipulated measures to keep them and others healthy.

 

  • All our clients must respect the health measures implemented in the installation. Frequent disinfection of hands and the use of masks in areas where minimum safe distances cannot be guaranteed is obligatory.

 

  • At the Rafa Nadal Academy we have the collaboration of QuirónSalud, a medical centre of reference in Spain, for the implementation of health protocols and assistance for players who need to visit a medical specialist.

 

  • Over the last few months, the Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar has been considered a success story by the press and international institutions, and an example of safety and trust. During the health crisis, the Academy established safety protocols which allowed the health of the 93 young people who were confined in its facilities to be safeguarded.
