🇬🇧 ⚽ Pilates for Pubalgia in Footballers: A Scientific Interview

The source is an excerpt from a scientific interview with Caroline Berger de Fémynie, a STOTT Pilates instructor and specialist in functional re-education, concerning the use of the Pilates method for treating pubalgia in professional soccer players. De Fémynie defines pubalgia as chronic inguino-pubic pain resulting from a neuromuscular imbalance between the adductors and abdominal muscles, emphasizing that it is a systemic issue of poor coordination, not just a muscular lesion. The discussion centers on how Pilates, utilizing equipment like the Reformer, Cadillac, and Matwork, systematically restores core stability (transverse abdominus, pelvic floor, diaphragm), coordination, and excentric strength to protect the pubic symphysis. She stresses the importance of restoring respiratory mechanics and body awareness as fundamental therapeutic tools, and outlines a progressive, individualized rehabilitation approach that moves from acute pain management to full return to sport through collaboration with medical staff.Hosted by Ausha.
