In football, the motor demand profile for a player is very complex and covers all areas of the main motor forms of exercise such as stamina, speed, strength, agility and coordination. The high loads can cause a variety of injuries and discomfort:
 
  • Ligament injuries in the knee,
  • Meniskopathien,
  • Plica syndrome,
  • Make complaints
  • Adductor injury,
  • Shin splint syndrome,
  • Tibialis anterior syndrome,
  • achillodynia,
  • Beck confusion Upshift- / Downshift dysfunction,
  • Lumbago / Low back pain / sciatica.

In top-class sports, the osteopathic examination and treatment is therefore becoming increasingly important. The osteopath helps to improve the vital capacity and processes immobility of all tissues of the organism. The human body is a large system of structures and functions, the parts of which are in constant interdependence. Not only do we see the painful ankle or the fat knee, but we treat the body as a whole, which has been injured by its complex balance. Injuries can trigger further complaints via so-called stress chains. The location of a pain and the location of its actual cause can be far apart in the body. Physical posture mistakes can also trigger such stress chains. The tensions in the body tell us where a blockage, a rupture or a muscle hardening start. As long as it is still dysfunction, so the precursor of damage, which can be treated much easier, than the subsequent damage.

Typical overload syndromes in football are, for example:

  • Pulling in the calf, stinging on the front of the tibia
  • Pressure pain in the knee, partly with swelling
  • Pain in the groin, partly pulling, medial on the thigh
  • Lower lumbar pain
