CrossFit® is much more than just a workout; it's a way of life that requires total commitment, unfailing determination and proper recovery to perform at your best.

On the occasion of the French Full Contact Championships, we interviewed Rémi Senal, a fan of STIMCARE products.

A study of trail runners was carried out during two 21.6-kilometre races.



It measured strength, proprioception and subjective fatigue parameters before, during and after the trail to identify the effects of recovery.

A muscle tear may be benign in the case of a pulled muscle, but can be more serious if the muscle is partially or totally torn. How can muscle tears be prevented and treated? We tell you more in this article.

Do you suffer from elbow pain? Do you find it hard to use your hand, wrist or arm, and do simple, everyday manual movements become painful?

You're probably suffering from epicondylitis, more commonly known as elbow tendonitis. This musculoskeletal condition is characterized by

Better known to sportsmen and women who put their bodies to the test, particularly the thigh muscles, the hamstrings are particularly sensitive to stretching.

This partial tear is a painful disruption that requires the muscle to be rested, which can be extremely frustrating at the start of the season.

Back pain is a well-known ailment, affecting an average of 8 out of 10 French people, according to IFOP. Among the most common causes, herniated discs are both painful and disabling.

When the spinal discs no longer play their role as shock absorbers

A painful condition affecting the hand and wrist, tenosynovitis can be severely disabling. It generally affects the thumb tendon, where repeated microtrauma has led to tendonitis and inflammation of the synovial sheath.

Very present in certain athletes, such as

Like many musculoskeletal disorders, fibular tendinopathy is often a very painful condition, which has a major impact on the daily lives of sufferers.

One of the main roles of the fibular tendons is to stabilize the ankle's balance, which is why their inflammation can be so disabling.

Achilles tendon bursitis, also known as Haglund's disease or calcaneal bursitis, is a well-known pathology among athletes. This highly unpleasant inflammatory reaction affects the bursae on either side of the tendon. These small pockets contain synovial fluid and help reduce the pressure on the tendon.

Little-known and sometimes misdiagnosed, compartment syndrome (chronic) is a painful condition encountered mainly in athletes. At the moment of exertion, discomfort is felt in the muscle. This discomfort does not subside, but becomes increasingly intense, pushing the athlete

Crow's feet tendonitis, also known as bursitis anserina or knee tendonitis, is an inflammation of the bursa anserina (bursa of the crow's feet), which lies beneath the tendons of the semitendinosus, sartorius and gracilis muscles.

These muscles are inserted under the medial aspect of the tibia.

The Achilles tendon is one of the strongest tendons in the human body. Located behind the ankle, it connects the foot to the calf and is involved in propulsion and flexion movements.

It may be the largest tendon in our anatomy, but it's still the most important.

Well-known to sportsmen and women, hamstrings are often put to the test. Located at the back of the thigh, they play a major role in walking, running and most other sports, as they are involved in the knee and hip joints.

A

Extremely stressed, the shoulder is one of the most sensitive joints in sportsmen and women. Its great capacity for mobility can also lead to a lack of stability. The repetitive gestures of throwing or cocking, the level of intensity and the force exerted on the joint can give rise to a whole series of pathologies

It's known by many names, such as windshield wiper syndrome or TFL, but whatever the term, tensor fascia-lata tendonitis remains a dreaded pathology in running, trail running and cycling.

Intense pain felt on the outside

The warm weather is back and you're planning to take advantage of the sun's return to put on your sneakers and get back into the swing of things. But don't let your good resolutions come to an end just yet, and avoid sprains, tendonitis and other sports injuries.

Winter is drawing to a close, and with the arrival of warmer weather, you can't wait to get out on your bike and set off in search of a little freedom. What could be better than an outdoor outing to recharge your batteries and get the season off to a smooth start?

But don't forget to

A sensation of electric shocks, pain in the buttock that radiates down the leg - the symptoms are very similar to those of sciatica, yet the diagnosis is often difficult to make.

In athletes, particularly runners, these disturbances are mainly linked to piriformis syndrome,

Winter may be a favorite season for skiers, but it's also the time of year when waiting rooms are overrun by unlucky hikers.

Knee sprains account for over a third of all winter sports-related accidents. Often benign, this injury is nonetheless painful and disabling.

The Golden Trail Championship took place from October 28 to November 1, 2020 in the Azores.

I attended the event as physiotherapist to the Salomon International Trail Team, which I've been following for 10 years now. The biggest trail race of the year brought together (almost) the entire

Whether you're on the track, the road or the trail, your ankles are the first joints to be put to the test, as they are responsible for both propulsion and cushioning.

Their purpose is to inform the central nervous system as quickly as possible so that it can
