TREAT AND PREVENT ACCIDENTS: A COMPARISON BTW YOGA AND PHYSIOTHERAPY

PRESENTED BY: DANIELE MAGNI

WITH: MARCO FACCHINELLI, TITE TOGNI AND BARBARA BISCOTTI

A meeting chaired by Daniele Magni, editor of the Magazine “L’Altra Medicina” (The Other Medicine), who will “interview" Marco Facchinelli (runner and physiotherapist), Tite Togni (runner and yoga teacher) and Barbara Biscotti (teacher of Yoga and Vipassana Meditation), on a very interesting topic related to the prevention and treatment of injuries.

Both Yoga and physiotherapy can help in this regard.

Yoga exercises, that are not only carried out on the mat, but also our standing posture during pauses, our posture while running, while raising weights or sitting.

Breath is important to relax our body and calm our mind, before any activity. And as for physiotherapy, the approach is not always and merely curative but also preventive.

For example, when remembering to perform all the actions that help prevent injuries and avoid having to seek medical attention when a disorder is manifest.

These include stretching, the use of cold water on the lower limbs at the end of each training, sleeping with your legs slightly raised to promote drainage. And above all, starting an active listening of your own body.
