Xavi is recovering well from his chronic tendinitis

Innovative therapy directed by Ramon Cugat with injections of growth factor is allowing him to play

Xavi Hernández has spent more than four months engaging in a battle with aquileana bilateral tendinitis. The player endured the World using all types of shortcuts as the introduction of a special template Adidas prepared him for the occasion. But neither restful summer break, let alone a trip to Mexico with the selection without having done any training, nor the demanding schedule of Barcelona served him very helpful. Xavier held out until late September when their heels ... enough said! Then came the wise counsel of Dr. Ramon Cugat, the hands of physio Emili Ricart and knowledge of the physician Ricard Pruna to begin a race against time with an injury at the worst he could leave six months off the pitch.


Cugat bet big from the start of an innovative treatment but has a great acceptance among professionals: the growth factors. An infiltration of plasma rich in your own blood is to regenerate your own tissue cells. A Luis Enrique seven years ago this treatment will solve their chronic discomfort in the heels. Xavi has now a total of twelve injections in the last month and the improvement has been remarkable, but the hassles are still latent, as the path to total recovery is long and laborious. In fact, we must not forget that a chronic tendinitis is the term factor against him and no one knows for sure when this will definitely be asymptomatic tendinitis. In any case, the player is making prevention work and individual weekly Ricart, a man of his confidence, as well as undergo ultrasound every seven days to assess the status of his injury. It is clear that at least this season, the tendinitis is the worst enemy of Xavi.
