lesions are usually not serious, being the more “ classical“, those relating to “the cervical and lumbar zone”
MADRID, 2 ( EUROPA PRESS)
An incorrect position “influences more than the duration of the procession possible injuries to the investigation, according to the Secretary general of the General Council of schools of physiotherapists of Spain (CGCFE), Manuel Alcantarilla. In his view, these brothers of brotherhoods have relays, and during the breaks “is hydrate and stretch” avoiding physical problems.
Of the same position is the costalero of the brotherhood of the Rosary of Granada, Jorge Bailón, who believes that “If you don’t have good posture during the ' levantá ', that is when there is a higher risk, they may suffer serious injury”. However, the health believes that they don’t occur normally according to studies of the Council, as “the classic are the overloads in the cervical and lumbar area”.
In addition, Alcantarilla explained to Europa Press that the lesions in the knee and ankle joints “are also very frequent”, same circumstance that happens on the shoulders to the investigation that go on the sides of the step. Although he settles the issue stating that the muscle problems are normal and joints, D explains that, while not had no injury, if you have seen teammates who have had to leave their work “by problems in the back and the vertebrae”.
As to the type of preparation that the costalero must be followed, both agree to ensure that “it is enough with trials starting with lent”, as explained by the physical therapist. D, for his part, added that “is important to aerobic exercise and prepare with squats and strength if you are sedentary”.
A collation of this, the brother of the granadina brotherhood believes that “those who suffer most are the quadriceps and the twins, all the train lower in general”. Therefore believes that “it is good that the next day received a massage from a physical therapist”, something that is already obtained thanks to the center of attention to the Costalero (CEACO), which “offers a follow-up during the Holy Week”.
Now the investigation “are prepared more” than before
However, Alcantarilla believed that now the brothers “are prepared more”, although it considered that “there to train for a marathon”. In his view, the experience of the years “do much good”, something that shares D, who has spent 12 years under the Nasrid step of the Rosary.
But the representative of the CGCFE warns of the danger that is wanting to procesionar with the figure on the shoulder if the costalero not has recovered well from an injury above. “some have had to leave out for wanting to continue with the step being injured.” “They have caused a hernia”, regrets.
However, the specialist considers that there are other factors that influence the occurrence of injuries. in addition to the time of procession or the position “of the Christ and the costalero weight, food or heat that there is the day of the procession are variables causing problems”.
Therefore explains that “it is better that the day is fresh, as 35 or 40 men under the step support of 35 to 50 degrees of temperature”. This should “drink every hour” to carry more comfortably the 45 or 50 kilos on average by costalero.
On the other hand, D has told Europa Press that “everyone who is physically well and has no injury may be costalero”, something that does not meet “people with musculoskeletal, herniated disc pathology, arthrosis, arthritis, muscle weakness or knee prosthesis”, for which sewer recommended to refrain from taking any step.
“If you take care and keep the illusion, can get to bring the image up to the 42 or 44 years”, explains the costalero at the same time stresses qye wishes to continue fitting shoes, the Strip and the costal “up to 38 or 40 years”. The dream of Alcantarilla is more immediate: “what I want is that no rain,” implores.
