Neymar's physiotherapy session shows off swelling
The Brazilian showed footage of a physiotherapy session on his ankle after surgery and shows him receiving ultrasound treatment with an eye on the World Cup.
The state of Neymar's foot is almost a state matter, and not just in Brazil but in France, as PSG await updates, along with Spain, with rumours of a return to LaLiga. With an eye on the World Cup return, Neymar has posted a video of his ankle during a physiotherapy session, which shows quite large swelling on the affected area.
One of the main causes of the swelling might be from the surgery Neymar underwent or from the sprained ankle he suffered. Another cause might be the change in mechanics, change in the way you walk or movement of the hip.
The benefits of ultrasound treatment
In order to improve recovery, Neymar has been doing ultrasound treatment and the benefits of such treatment include:
- increased blood flow
- increase in the area's metabolism, with stimulation of cellular function and the capacity to regenrate tissue
- increase of tissues rich in collagen
Will Neymar recover in time for the World Cup?
There is still almost three months to the World Cup, which starts on June 17th. We are 81 days away from Brazil's first game against Switzerland and the Brazilian is recovering slowly.
