We present the case of a 24-year-old professional soccer player, with no personal history of interest, who came to the X-Ray diagnosis service due to severe pain in the right quadriceps muscle after a 10-month evolution of muscle rupture occurred during sports practice.
PHYSIUM System® provides standardized negative pressure massage for 15 minutes with the analgesic program and 15 minutes with the trigger points program at 80 millibars with eight adjustable arms, both in the entire muscle and in muscle fibrosis. Seven days later, after PHYSIUM System® session with the same parameters of the previous treatment, ultrasound elastography was performed.
