Marca: Mastantono receives physiotherapy without surgery, personalized care is very important

Real Madrid youngster Mastantuono is experiencing a groin injury, which experts call "evil syndrome." "Marca" analyzed Mastantono's recovery from injury.

The injuries Mastantono suffered may involve damage to a variety of tissue structures and are usually caused by overexertion or repetitive strenuous movements. When the pain spreads to the pubic area, it can be so intense that players feel excruciating pain when they cough. For the talented youngster, the injury was not only a physical challenge, but also a mental and emotional test. He had to watch his teammates play from the sidelines while learning to listen to and respect his body's limits.

Over the years, surgery has ceased to be the treatment of choice for top athletes. More than 20 years ago, Dr. Raul pioneered non-surgical treatments and proved that conservative treatments are as effective as surgery. Therefore, Mastantono's recovery program will focus primarily on physical therapy, gym exercises (strength, flexibility, etc.) to balance the abdominal muscles, as well as dry needling and shock wave therapy, which will be tailored to the individual case, as there is no hard and fast protocol or exact timeline.

For young talents like Mastantono, this situation is more common. Experts said: "This is very common among young players because they are under huge training loads. Bones are growing, and muscles and tendons need to adapt to new loads and forces. As physical development is combined with competitive requirements, the body must adjust carefully to avoid more serious injuries."

Mastantono's recovery process is gradual and individualized. First manage pain and reduce inflammation, then strengthen the abdominals, hips, and adductors with specific exercises so they can work in harmony and safely bear training loads. The gym plays a key role in this process, not just to build strength, but to allow the body to adapt to the new forces acting on the pubic bone, correcting imbalances and improving flexibility. Each movement is adjusted to his response, embodying the importance of personalized care. The most important thing is to follow the treatment plan and wait patiently for recovery. Mastantono is currently receiving treatment every day at the Valdebebas base.
