Knee problems and the forgotten muscle
admin | February 2nd, 2010 | 6 Comments »I spoke about Rafael Nadal’s knee problems yesterday, and commented that knee injuries are always seen as this career ending injury, as indeed they are, unless you treat them correctly.
Recently I worked with a former professional footballer. He had retired at the grand old age of 26 with knee problems. Indeed, for the last four years of his career, he had spent most of the time in the physios room at his club. During this time he has been given cortisone injections to dull the pain, steroid injections to stimulate new tissue growth, arthroscopic sugery to trim any loose tissue away, injections of red blood cells to help recovery, ultrasound and laser therapy. For Four Years. And still he had to retire.
WHY?
