[Gocamino] Physios Hand Book for Pilgrims

[Sil]

Physiotherapists advise pilgrims how to get to their destination in good
health

The College of Physiotherapists of the Region of Murcia has developed along
with the Galician Association of Physiotherapists , the Pilgrim's Guide , a
publication that offers tips and warnings for hikers to keep their health in
the best conditions for the pilgrimage and know how to act in case of
possible incidents.

These tips , drawn from a position of strict health , show social commitment
of physiotherapists to ensure the health of citizens and pilgrims.
Specifically , the main recommendations relate to how to plan and prepare
physically to face the stage , choosing the most suitable type of backpack
and how to fill and transport it and the type of shoes and clothing to be
used . Just as the best walking techniques , the importance of hydration,
foot care , how to combat fatigue, what to do when they suffered some type
of injury and the way for pilgrims with disabilities .

The 76 page "Health Tips Handbook" published by the Official Colexio of
Physiotherapists of Galicia has been published in four languages : Galician
, Spanish , English and French, with the aim of reaching as many pilgrims as
possible.

The College of Physiotherapists of Murcia has posted it on its website to
make it available to all pilgrims who walk to Murcia to Caravaca or the
Camino Santiago de Compostela.
