Dr. Pedro Belón, physiotherapist of Real Madrid's first team, describes in a video the fundamental duties of a group of physiotherapists in the field of an extremely elite team. Emphasizing that "our hands" are the primary tools for this work.

However, the doctor notes that since he began his career, the introduction of new technologies has completely altered the landscape of physical preparation and recovery. One of these is pressotherapy, a technique that works tendons, muscles, and joints by using percussion machines.

"It consists of applying a series of rhythmic and energetic blows on the connective tissue. It is done with mechanical devices that we can adjust according to the objective we seek", Dr. Belón explains.

The main benefit of these machines is that the player can use them directly on the area that needs to be worked on, freeing up the hands of the physiotherapists to handle more specialized tasks.
