Blueback invited by FC Lorient

Medical day at the Lorient Football Club

The Blueback team was invited by FC Lorient for the Medical Day on September 24th. A day where surgeons and physiotherapists discussed different types of treatment.

The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in particular was at the heart of the discussions, as it is the most widespread among footballers. This is a context where Blueback Physio is very important as it allows the abdominal transverse muscle to be targeted, a muscle with multiple stakes in the rehabilitation and reathletisation of these athletes. Indeed, poor control of the trunk can lead to repetitive reactions on the underlying joints. And which muscle plays a key role in stabilizing the trunk? It is the transverse abdominal muscle.

For this reason, the activation of the transverse muscle is an important step in the physical preparation and rehabilitation of high-level athletes such as the footballers of FC Lorient. This day was a great opportunity to learn from the knowledge and experience of these sports professionals, but it was also an opportunity to present the only device that can visualise the contraction of the transverse muscle in motion and in real time.
