This program integrates a series of modules designed to provide comprehensive and rigorous training in injury prevention in football. Its approach combines the study of injury risk factors with the development of competencies aimed at managing training and competition loads, while also incorporating the specific contributions of osteopathy and manual therapy from a preventive rather than exclusively therapeutic perspective.
These areas of knowledge are complemented by active recovery strategies, enhancing their effectiveness and contributing to a greater preventive impact on injury incidence. In particular, osteopathy—with its holistic approach to the body—offers the possibility of optimizing recovery processes and anticipating potential dysfunctions through a global observation of the athlete.
For this reason, it is essential to acquire an integrated understanding of the possibilities that osteopathy and manual therapy provide within an interdisciplinary team of professionals dedicated to improving performance and preventing injuries. This holistic perspective fosters more effective and coordinated interventions, aligned with the current demands of high-performance sport.
1. Injury Risk Factors in Prevention and Rehabilitation
