Abstract

Aim. The primary objective of this study was to develop and validate a therapeutic approach that integrates physiotherapy and mud therapy techniques targeting the neck-collar area, aiming to restore functional capabilities in athletes following intense activities at middle altitudes. Materials and methods. The clinical investigation encompassed 30 female athletes who underwent a combined electrotherapy and mud therapy protocol utilizing therapeutic mud sourced from Tambukan Lake. The functional state of the upper limbs was assessed through electromyography (ENMG), rheography, and rheological data before and after the therapy. Results. The application of the proposed method demonstrated a notable relaxation effect on the upper limbs, accompanied by a reduction in neuromuscular activity, normalization of blood flow, and enhancement of venous outflow. Both single and course applications of the therapy were found to be effective in achieving these outcomes. Conclusion. The developed method is recommended for athletes engaged in high-intensity physical activities who experience muscular spasms in the trapezius muscle fibers and shoulder rotator cuff muscles, as well as during the transition periods of the training process. This therapeutic approach represents a promising intervention for restoring functional capabilities and enhancing recovery in athletes at middle altitudes.
