The Sports Healer Starting from Milan

Chapter 5 Master-Level Scar Release Techniques

San Rafael Hospital.

Franco Combe quickly received the report, and looking at the diagnosis, he murmured, "Partial tear of the anterior talofibular ligament..."

He then looked at the trees in surprise.

Because almost all of Lin Mu's previous judgments were correct.

To make such an accurate diagnosis without any imaging data is truly remarkable.

"It's fortunate that you had the nerve release treatment; otherwise, if the muscles had been compressed, the recovery would have been much more difficult."

Franco-Comby breathed a sigh of relief.

If Inter Milan were to lose a player at the very beginning of the season, they would definitely get a scolding too.

Franco Combe suddenly asked, "By the way, how did you figure that out? You can't do it just by relying on experience."

"My teacher, Mr. Mochini, wrote a paper saying that some athletes develop sural nerve paralysis after habitual sprains, and I thought that Alvaro might be the same."

Lin Mu thought for a moment and then answered.

Anyway, my mentor's reputation is prestigious enough, so it's the perfect shield.

"Indeed, this is an easily overlooked detail." Frank-Comby nodded, and was about to say something more when a loud voice came from behind.

"Wood, I saw your handling of the situation, it was fantastic, I'm so proud of you."

Roberto Mochini strode over, patted Lin Mu on the shoulder, and raised an eyebrow at Franco Combe. "How about it? My student's level is alright, isn't it? Putting him in your team would be a waste of his talent."

Around 2005.

Even among the world's top clubs.

Team doctors generally have lower educational qualifications than doctors in the hospital system.

Because club team doctors are not considered elite positions in the medical field.

True industry leaders often collaborate with clubs as consultants, rather than working in offices.

And the Milan laboratory's leading position.

Their success stems from collaboration among multiple experts and the presence of interdisciplinary talents, such as those in biomechanics and physiology, which has allowed them to stay at the forefront of the times.

"Indeed," Frank Komby said, not denying it.

Lin Mu smiled and listened to the two exchange a few pleasantries before following them into the ward.

Recoba lay in his hospital bed, staring at the white ceiling.

His mind was filled with what the doctor had just told him.

Ligament injuries are relatively easy to treat. With conservative treatment for two weeks, they can generally heal, and after three weeks, one can return to the field.

However, the fracture deformity caused by previous misdiagnosis is difficult to resolve.

Mochini would suggest an ankle osteotomy or corrective surgery.

"At San Rafael Hospital, we perform dozens of cases every year, but the postoperative recovery period is at least twelve weeks, and rehabilitation training also takes eight weeks."

"That means you'll have to wait until February next year to return to the competition."

Recoba hesitated.

He wondered if he could become a truly healthy player once he solved the problem with his left foot.

He has more than one injury.

If he has surgery, what will he be like after a few months of recovery?

Recoba is a man of dignity.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for a 50% pay cut a few years ago.

If you really have no shame.

He could easily imitate some players who, despite being injured, sit on the bench while receiving the highest salary on the team.

Until the contract expires.

But what if he doesn't have surgery... Recoba was lost in confusion. Just as he was at a loss, a face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Calm, professional...

Lin Mu, Recoba wanted to hear Lin Mu's advice, and the next second the ward door was pushed open.

Recoba subconsciously looked away, automatically ignoring Roberto Mochini and Franco Combe in front of him, and his pupils refocused on Lin Mu.

"This must be God's guidance!"

Recoba felt a glimmer of hope. Over the years, he had seen too many famous doctors, but the results were never good.

It's like a drowning person seeing a piece of wood.

Regardless of whether it can make me float.

We need to at least catch them first.

Recoba first greeted the two old men politely, "Wood, I'd like to hear your opinion on my follow-up treatment."

Lin Mu was a little surprised.

"Then let Wood speak first." Roberto Mochini didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he felt a little gratified. His student was usually a quiet person and his relationship with patients was just so-so.

Now things are finally starting to change.

Lin Mu nodded, pulled out the notepad, and said, "My suggestion is conservative treatment because you've been frequently injured over the years, spraining your ankle and straining your muscles, which has made your brain's sense of your ankle position blurry."

As he spoke, Lin Mu stretched out his foot and gestured.

"The posterior chain muscles should be tense at the moment of landing, but due to a perception deviation, your torso will rotate to compensate."

"Similar to a post-traumatic stress response."

"Even surgery can't change it. The best approach is to use physical therapy to first loosen the scar tissue in the muscles, and then use custom-made insoles and gait training to improve the compensatory pattern."

Lin Mu gave a brief explanation.

Recoba's eyes dimmed slightly.

He thought that Lin Mu could be like God, allowing him to run freely on the green field.

But he also knew that was wishful thinking.

"Wood".

Roberto Mochini frowned and stopped Lin Mu, pulling him outside to say something.

Because scar adhesions formed after muscle injury are difficult to treat.

This is a world-class problem.

Because their clients are professional athletes, not ordinary people who just need to be pain-free and able to live a normal life.

Professional players compete in high-intensity matches that often last ninety minutes.

It requires a large number of bursts, sudden stops, and changes of direction; extreme demand represents extremely high requirements.

Many top players were thus forced to change careers.

It has shifted from being an explosive force to a technology-driven force.

Therefore, it is very troublesome to deal with, and most of the time we can only rely on experience and instruments to indirectly determine which bundle of muscle fibers is damaged.

However, it is impossible to see the exact location and orientation of the scar.

Deep adhesions are even more difficult to deal with.

"Teacher," Lin Mu said, concentrating as he opened the system.

Within the five major categories of sports medicine.

Go to the "Scar Release Technique" section under "Sports Rehabilitation Medicine".

【Scar release surgery: Lv3 (98/100)】

Lin Mu was originally good at this subject, thanks to years of theoretical study and practical experience during his residency training.

The scar release surgery reached level three.

I immediately added all the experience I had just gained to it.

【Scar release surgery: Lv4 (3/150)】

In an instant, Lin Mu's mind was filled with a wealth of knowledge and skills, especially manual therapy techniques, as if he had massaged countless people.

"Master level, the maximum level is Lv5..." Lin Mu was somewhat shocked.

It's important to understand that although it's a small discipline, those who reach near-perfect levels are extremely rare in the medical field.

And Lv3 and Lv4 are a bit too big.

"Teacher, I am quite confident, and Alvaro's medical records will be the best data for my thesis."

Lin Mu raised his head and looked directly at Roberto Mochini.

The latter paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, let's ask the person involved for their opinion first. If they agree, you must stop immediately if the treatment is ineffective."
