Osteopath for sports in Versailles

The reasons for consultation are very vast in this field, we can consult for a joint, ligament, muscle or tendon problem.
Here are the main ones found in sports osteopathy:

• Tendonitis (tennis elbow, patellar syndrome, wiper syndrome)
• Osteoarthritis
• Contracture, elongation, muscle tear
• Tennis leg
• Pathologies of the rotator cuff muscles
• Periostitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Cervical pain, back pain, lumbago
• Digestive disorders

Many people are unaware that the osteopath has a place in the immediate management of a sprain. This allows to save a considerable amount of time in the recovery of the athlete. Of course the short, medium and long term management is very different. If your osteopath feels the need, he or she will refer you to your doctor for further tests. 

With the exception of kinesiotaping, which can be done immediately to improve drainage, osteopaths do not treat patients less than 3 months after an operation or a fracture. A treatment with your physiotherapist is possible and is often highly recommended, but no osteopathy within 3 months!

Even if you don't feel any pain, it doesn't mean that everything is fine. The body is well designed and adapts when faced with an imbalance. The body sets up compensation strategies that last more or less time. You can therefore spend several months or years before the problem occurs. But as your life goes on, you undergo small traumas, for example you miss a step, you carry your bag more on one shoulder than the other, you carry your child always on the same side or you work on 2 screens and do not have them in front of you, etc., all this will generate mini imbalances which could be a source of problem. The goal of osteopathy is to detect everything that is wrong, thanks to a consultation where your practitioner will test you from head to toe, and to treat the causes of these imbalances but also the consequences in order to rebalance you as well as possible.

In the same logic as prevention, your osteopath will try to detect any imbalances that could alter your performance and treat them. 

But your osteopath also has a role of advice on 

• Physical preparation(muscle strengthening exercises, stretching, isokinetic exercises),
• equipment (shoes, compression, etc.)  
• natural treatments (green clay poultice, essential oils, cryotherapy, etc.).
• Nutrition

A sports osteopath is an osteopath who specializes in sports, so your osteopath can take care of any patient, sports or not, but concerning sportsmen: 

• The different training courses followed by your osteopath (see below) allow him to welcome all types of athletes in his office, whatever their level or sport (collective or individual)
• Sporting children : Your osteopath also trained in pediatrics for three years, she is able to take care of sports children. The field of sport in pediatrics is very poorly known and this is why your osteopath has specialized in this field to promote sport among young people, to avoid a stop of sport for injuries and to prepare the sportsmen of tomorrow.

Always with the aim of giving the best advice to his patients, based on the latest research, your osteopath has therefore followed numerous training courses:

This diploma authorizes her to intervene in all types of sporting events. During this diploma in Bordeaux, she was able to perfect her knowledge in strapp, immobilization, treatment of sports injuries and first aid. But she also studied the performance of the athlete and all the factors that allow to optimize it (posture, proprioception, good dental health, nutrition, etc).

Your osteopath has also followed a training course directed by Pascal Ceyrat to master the requirements of osteopathic treatment of high level athletes.

Although your osteopath already has a DU in sports, he chose to return to school for a year to enrich his knowledge in the sports world and to be up to date with the latest research. The choice of the DU in Avignon rather than in Paris was made because of the quality of the speakers present in Avignon who allowed your osteopath to specialize even more in certain fields with for example :

Amandine Lacroix, sports doctor of the French athletics team, transmitted her knowledge in the field of athletics but she was also in charge of training the students of the DU of osteopathy of the sport in biomechanics, reathletization and isokinetism as well as in overtraining

Marcel Ferret, doctor of the French soccer team in 1998, during a whole seminar made us discover his passion for sports medicine and more particularly the care of footballers but also of all sportsmen and women, adults and children.

Stéphane Nottin, teacher in STAPS at the Avignon University, allowed your osteopath to deepen his knowledge in physiology of the sportsman, in nutrition of the sportsman but also concerning the limits of the extreme sports.

Many other topics such as doping, strapping, taping, stretching were also covered in this training.
