Even Hilterapia® was in Norcia for the preparation of the Italian Fencing Federation athletes for "Kazan 2014" World Championships (15/23 July-Kazan - Russia). ASAlaser therapy was alongside the staff of doctors and physiotherapists who follow the champions of saber, épée and foil before and after the competition. To deal italian men's and women's foil team is also Dr. Federica Balbi who has been able to count on the support of Hilterapia® to cope with the problems that commonly affect fencers during intense workouts.
D. Dr. Balbi, can we say that you are not a novice in the use of Hilterapia®?
R. It 's true, I know Hilterapia® since long time and I use it not only on sports patients. By working with Italian Fencing Federation's staff of doctors and physiotherapists, I was able to deepen its use in the treatment of diseases with a strong sports imprinting, caused by inflammation, fatigue or overload as result of massive workouts, especially in view of competitions.
D. Like the case of the World Championships, "Kazan 2014". Was Hilterapia® also in Norcia with you during the preparation phase?
R. Sure. SH1 device and Hilterapia® were available to cope with the athletes possible difficulties. I think in particular to inflamed tendons and bones, joints and muscle problems concerning, mainly, shoulder, knee and ankle. The use of Hilt® pulse is particularly appropriate because it not only allows us a quick application, without taking away time in the preparation of athletes, but it is also fully effective with fast results. When an athlete prepares a competition is focused on performance and the response of his "body” should be at the highest levels. That is why it becomes important to be able to solve speedy any problems.
D. In this way does Hilterapia® satisfy your needs?
R. Fully: the therapy has precisely these two great strengths. Quick application and totally fast and effective results. Even the same fencers have understood it and in some circumstances, to deal with certain diseases, they ask us precisely Hilterapia®. After a careful diagnosis, the FIS staff of doctors and physiotherapists decides if and how use it.
D. Hilterapia® convinces both professionals and athletes. Which is the reason, in your opinion?
R. The tangible results say more than thousand words: check that often a single session is enough to significantly reduce the pain is an important business card. The immediacy of analgesic-anti-inflammatory effect is a discriminating factor for those who makes my job. As well as the absence of contraindications.
D. Even the devices carve out a role on the "podium"?
R. Sure! Hilt®, working together with the athlete, is at his side to "climb" the podium. For professionals like me, a device such as SH1, which ensures maximum ease of use and is also easy to transport, so as to be easily found in every circumstance or place, is an extreme comfort ...
D. Besides that in the preparation of the competitions, do you use Hilt® also at the end of the race?
R. Even at the end of the competition therapy offers an important support to cope with tendon fatigue of athletes that need to recover quickly the best physical condition. In the case of the World Cup, matches are one behind the other and the time to get back into shape is very narrow. In this case Hilt® is a teammate that can make the difference.
