Winter is here, and so is the ski season! As a physiotherapist, you're looking for effective solutions to prepare your patients for returning to sport, prevent injuries and optimise their recovery. With Winback Back4 technology, and more specifically the CARE+ pack, you have an innovative approach combining three frequencies: tecartherapy (high frequency), electrostimulation (medium frequency) and analgesic treatment (low frequency). These technologies not only speed up muscle re-education, but also optimise physical preparation before intense activities such as skiing.

REHAB+: an innovative protocol for muscle stimulation and injury prevention

The REHAB+ programme is a hands-free solution for targeted muscle stimulation, tailored to each patient. Thanks to its integration with Back4, it can be used for both functional rehabilitation and personalised sports preparation.

This protocol is ideal for:
✔ Strengthening stabilising muscles and preparing the body for exercise.
✔ Preventing frequent winter sports injuries (sprains, muscle tears).
✔ Optimise muscle recovery through appropriate stimulation.
✔ Encourage the return to sport after an injury by limiting the risk of recurrence.
✔ Improve proprioception and motor coordination for greater stability on the ski slopes.

Personalised support for all profiles

Whether your patient is an experienced sportsperson, a sedentary person looking to get back into shape, or a woman returning to sport after a prolonged break, the CARE+ protocols offer a solution tailored to their needs.

• Sportsmen and skiers: integration of REHAB+ in the preparation phase and RECOVER+ for optimal recovery.

• Resuming activity: This protocol is also suitable for women wishing to resume sporting activity after a prolonged break. With an ‘In & Out’ programme focusing on detox, fat loss and gradual resumption, you can offer them all-round support. Whether it's skiing, football or more gentle activities such as yoga or Pilates, the programme is entirely adaptable.

• Sedentary patients: set up a gentle protocol to limit muscle soreness and encourage a gradual transition to physical activity.

By adapting the parameters of the protocols, each patient can benefit from optimal follow-up. The aim is to avoid trauma while improving their physical condition so that they can return to physical activity with confidence.

FIT+ and SLIM+: personalised solutions for every goal

The CARE+ pack also includes two other automated programmes:
FIT+: This programme targets deep muscles. Ideal for intense muscle strengthening, particularly of the abdominal muscles and legs, two essential areas for skiers.
SLIM+: Focused on fat loss and general fitness, this protocol is perfect for patients looking for an overall programme to improve their physical condition, perfect for preparing the body for prolonged exercise.
By combining these programmes, you can offer your patients a tailor-made approach, based on their specific goals and needs.

The importance of recovery: RECOVER+ and Game Ready

Good preparation would be nothing without effective recovery. At the end of a session or after intense sporting activity, the RECOVER+ programme optimises blood circulation, reduces muscular tension and facilitates recovery. It's based on a stimulation system that encourages muscle pumping and venous return, which is particularly useful after a day's skiing or intensive training.
To maximise the effectiveness of your recovery, you can add Game Ready to your protocol. This device combines cryotherapy and active compression to reduce inflammation and speed up muscle and joint recovery. This synergy is particularly appreciated by sportspeople who want to recover their physical capacities quickly.

Why integrate Back4 and the CARE+ pack into your physiotherapy practice?

2. What are the benefits of electrostimulation for sportspeople?
Electrostimulation strengthens muscles in depth without overloading the joints. It improves strength and recovery and helps prevent injury by optimising physical preparation.
3. How does the RECOVER+ programme help with recovery after skiing?
The RECOVER+ programme promotes blood circulation, reduces muscle soreness and speeds up muscle recovery through targeted stimulation. Combined with Game Ready, it optimises venous return and soothes muscular tension.
4. Who are the CARE+ pack protocols designed for?
The REHAB+, FIT+ and SLIM+ protocols are suitable for sportspeople, patients undergoing rehabilitation, sedentary people and those wishing to resume physical activity gently.
5. Can these protocols be used for sports other than skiing?
Yes, CARE+ programmes can be adapted to a variety of disciplines, including football, running and Pilates. They provide personalised support according to each patient's objectives.
