Video 2: Muscle tears of the thigh.
The video shows the testimonial of a 32 year old professional ice hockey player with the condition after four muscle tears of the thigh, all within 4 months. Before treatment he suffered from continuous muscle pain since 4 months in resting and during sports, resulting in significant limitations when playing. The past conservative treatment in a clinic, specialized in sports medicine, was not successful, so percutaneous direct current treatment was recommended. The first part of the interview shows the patient after the second treatment. The second part of the interview is taken 6 weeks later. The patient had been able to perform in more than 20 ice hockey games completely free of limitations.
