Forming part of the Health and Performance Centre (NSP), the new facility aims to optimise players\u2019 physical and mental recovery through a range of activities, techniques and therapies, such as neuroscience, Pilates and acupuncture, amongst others.\n        <\/p>\n        \n        <p>\n            Daniel Gon\u00e7alves, the club\u2019s health and performance coordinator, explains the concepts behind the innovative facility recently created by Brazil\u2019s Most Successful Club.\n        <\/p>\n        \n        <p>\n            \u201cA Palmeiras player\u2019s routine includes preparatory activities \u2013 that is, those carried out before training on the pitch \u2013 and supplementary activities. All of these are based on assessment and diagnosis, prevention, performance and recovery. In this regard, the Recovery and Neuroscience Centre was designed to support us in the post-match period with a more holistic and interdisciplinary approach,\u201d says Gon\u00e7alves. \u201cWe are using techniques such as massage therapy, transcranial electrical stimulation exercises, Pilates, compression boots, acupuncture, osteopathy, podiatry\u2026 all backed by robust research. As well as recovery, we use this new facility primarily for mental, neural and neuromuscular activation. That is why the space is also dedicated to neuroscience and features techniques and equipment, such as smart glasses, which help us improve our athletes\u201d decision-making and focus, amongst other things.\u201d\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n            The mental wellbeing of the Alviverde staff was taken into account during the drafting of the project.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s a holistic approach. As well as recovery, we aim to create a centre for socialising and wellbeing. Palmeiras is deeply committed to the wellbeing of its players and creates environments that foster this. So, we have designed a space incorporating chromotherapy (lighting), aromatherapy and pleasant auditory stimuli, which encourages the players to adhere more closely to the programmes and feel increasingly well looked after and satisfied, particularly during neuromuscular, metabolic and mental recovery,\u201d explains Daniel Gon\u00e7alves.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"pnf-callout\" style=\"margin-top: 40px; text-align: center;\">\n            <p><strong>External reference:<\/strong> This article is a reproduction\/curated piece.<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palmeiras.com.br\/noticias\/neurociencia-pilates-e-acupuntura-palmeiras-inaugura-centro-de-recovery-na-academia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"pnf-article-cta\" style=\"display: inline-block; margin-top: 10px;\">View the original article on the Palmeiras website<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Focuses on ankle, knee and lower back sprains, as well as adductor injuries; explains, in simple terms, how core stability and movement control help to reduce the risk of injury and time off.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3510,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[109],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artigos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3477"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3477\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3482,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3477\/revisions\/3482"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pilatesnofutebol.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
