Manual therapy

"By using specific manual techniques we can treat painful muscles, tendons and joints. Injured structures such as muscles, tendons and joints will limit your mobility, flexibility and/or functionality, and we naturally want to prevent that.

It is precisely by applying those techniques that we can help those structures get back to normal. 
Which techniques do we use exactly? That depends on your needs, or better put, on the needs of your injury. We use anything from manipulations (& lsquo; chiropractic & rsquo;) to mobilizations, stretching, friction, myofascial release therapy, dry needling and much more.

Our screenings

Functional training

Functional training strikes a balance between the different muscle groups. We perform muscle strengthening exercises that are linked to movements you make in everyday life on the one hand, and to movements used in different sports disciplines on the other.

This training allows us to work on specific muscle groups and strengthen them. We train the full muscle chains, unlike classic analytical strength training such as fitness. In a nutshell, we help you rehabilitate, but at the same time also build up strength to prevent injuries.

Field rehabilitation

Once we are approaching the end of a rehabilitation period, we integrate even more sport-specific rehabilitation exercises into your training, for example by exercising outside on the pitch and/or in the sandpit. This allows us to gradually rebuild your load capacity. These assisted training sessions boost your confidence to get started immediately, given that you have already gone through the sport-specific movements.

Aquatic rehabilitation

Rehabilitation in water is the perfect way to demand some active effort from the body early on in the rehabilitation process. In the water, all forms of impact load are eliminated and we can still work in a targeted way to heal an injury as quickly as possible. 

This form of training is dé a way to keep working on your condition if your injury does not yet allow a (heavy) load (such as walking). It enables us to get your circulation going at an early stage and start boosting your condition right away: a real win-win".

Breathing techniques for athletes

Almost every athlete, both recreational and at the highest professional level, benefits from starting their training or competition in good condition. It goes without saying that requires condition training, which most athletes acknowledge. 
We often see that athletes do not train to their full potential, often without them even realizing it.
Let's not forget that the respiratory muscles themselves also consume quite a lot of oxygen if they are not in optimum condition. This results in a Metaboreflex with reduced oxygen transport to the legs, for example, which negatively affects your performance. In other words, it has been scientifically proven repeatedly that when exercising, both in condition and muscle training, we should not forget about our respiratory muscles, as these are key and may limit our performance. 
SQUADT can also map out the performance of these muscles. If necessary, the diaphragm and inter-rib muscles can be trained in a targeted manner.

Of course, athletes who have exercise-related respiratory problems are also welcome at SQUADT.
