Diagnosis
Our approach
The first step is always a medical consultation for an initial diagnosis. Complementing this: a full clinical assessment by a physiotherapist (ligament and meniscal tests, alignment and gait analysis). If clinically warranted, imaging (ultrasound or MRI) is performed with Dr Massimo Donalisio to confirm the diagnosis — no unnecessary systematic imaging.
Care at Off-Field
- Physiotherapy (mobilisation, tissue work, pain management)
- Physical preparation (targeted strengthening, muscle rebalancing, eccentric work for tendinopathies)
- In coordination with Dr Massimo Donalisio when the physio assessment indicates: ultrasound-guided injections, PRP, shockwaves, hyaluronic acid (osteoarthritic terrain), prolotherapy (ligament laxity)
