The Spanish Tennis Federation has dispatched Dr Ángel Ruiz Cotorro and physiotherapists Julián Casanova to Melbourne in an effort to treat Rafael Nadal's injured left-hand.
Both men made the trip to the Australian capital of Victoria in possession of an unusual device, named Indiba, with which they hope to speed up the ATP number one player's recovery. Nadal had to play with blister tape on his left-hand in the match against Grigor Dimitrov, changing the strapping tape after each set. In fact, he will have to play the rest of the tournament with some kind of protection.
"We applied creams that help regenerate skin, but also Indiba, which serves to accelerate the healing process" explains Cotorro. The device uses radiofrequency to accelerate the metabolism of cells, reorganizing oxygenated blood, and speeding up blood flow by promoting lymphatic drainage of the peripheral area.
