EMERGENCY CAREWINBACK Sport’s centres can take care of acute musculoskeletal injuries. The earlier a professional treats the injury the more likely will be a quick efficient return to sporting activity.

PERFORMANCEThe therapist can help optimise the performance of professional and amateur sportsmen by using exercises specific to their sport. Athletes become more powerful and dynamic and have better endurance thanks to WINBACK’s treatments that ally manual technique and muscular reprogramming (reinforcement, elongation and proprioception).

EVALUATIONA physiological examination, aimed at the practice of a sport, is carried out to detect problems of joint mobility, imbalance and muscular coordination. It is aimed at detecting restrictions and proprioceptive or postural problems, as well as painful injuries. This assessment allows the health care professional to suggest a plan of treatment that will decrease the imperfections and pain. Frequent re-evaluation during the course of treatment means that the therapy can be modified according to the progress made.

RECOVERYAfter a competition, a deep massage with WINBACK equipment can efficiently relax muscles that have been overstretched by the intense effort. The stimulating but relaxing movements rapidly put the biomechanical structure back in place whilst giving back muscle tone.

PREVENTIONA sports physiotherapist needs to identify the biomechanical weaknesses of the patient. This allows them to prescribe reinforcement and physiotherapy programmes that will help prevent injuries. Then the sportsperson’s posture can be corrected so they can avoid movements that increase weakness.

AMINO POWERImproves performance, power and energy thanks to improved levels of oxygen and nutrients. 20 minutes before sporting activity, rub onto the desired part of the body until it is absorbed by the skin.

It is based on the amino acid ARGININE. Arginine is used to create nitric oxide (NO) which dilates the blood vessels. This increases the blood flow, which carries oxygen and other nutrients to the muscles. This also helps strengthen the muscles and the immune system. The vasodilator effect of Arginine also reduces the heart’s workload and so improves cardio-vascular performance.

Applying AMINO POWER to the chest approximately 20 minutes before a sporting activity also improves your mental acuity and motivation.

CREAMAMINO RECOVERY

Calms, relaxes and re-energises the body. Refreshes the body and ensures optimal cooling and regeneration.

Massage on to the desired part of the body, after sport and after a shower, until it is completely absorbed.

It is based on the amino acid GLUTAMINE. Glutamine is the most common amino acid in the muscle cells. During physical exercise your stock of glutamine is diminished and so your muscle cell volume is reduced. Glutamine helps improve the storage of glycogen and hydrates the muscle cells. This improves protein synthesis and the metabolism, which in turn improves the regeneration process. Glutamine supplements play an important part in recovery, in increasing muscle mass and in protection against muscular

degeneration.

AMINO RECOVERY can be used by anyone trying to recover from a day of hard physical work, or other intensive effort, in order to prevent

muscle pain or cramps.
