Alcaraz and the ankle revolution

On the journey to winning the ATP 500 Tokyo tournament, Japan at the end of September, Alcaraz twisted his left ankle in the opening match against Sebastian Baez, raising concerns about his ability to continue competing. However, in just 48 hours, the world's number one tennis player returned to play and surpassed Zizou Bergs. After that, Alcaraz continued to play steadily and went straight to winning the tournament in the Japanese capital.

"I have Juanjo Moreno - the best physical therapist in the world - in my ranks ", Alcaraz said after the win over Bergs.

But according to Marca, in addition to Moreno's talent, the secret to Alcaraz's quick return from ankle pain also lies in a revolutionary type of muscle tape in the medical industry, called Magnetic Tape. magnetic). Moreno himself advised and advised the world's number one tennis player to use this type of magnetic muscle tape from Roland Garros 2025.

Magnetic Tape was invented by Francisco Selva, a physiotherapist, PhD, and director of the Master's program in Evaluation, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Sports at the University of Valencia, Spain. Selva has more than 25 years of experience in the field of physical therapy and has worked with football clubs such as Levante in La Liga and handball teams.

This type of elastic muscle tape contains magnetic nanoparticles, does not work like regular magnets and has the ability to stretch vertically by 50-60%. Thanks to that, Magnetic Tape helps athletes reduce pain, increase strength and improve mobility immediately.

In a scientific study published by Selva and his colleagues in 2021, Magnetic Tape was successfully tested on 22 patients with lower back pain. The results show that the magnetic muscle tape not only reduces pain immediately but also increases blood circulation index three times compared to conventional muscle tape (Kinesio Tape)..

"This is a groundbreaking, scientifically proven product that reduces pain, increases strength and improves mobility almost immediately in most cases ", Selva said. In his 2021 study, this scientist also said: "This may be a cost-effective, non-invasive option for chronic musculoskeletal pain ".

Conventional types of muscle tape (Kinesio Tape) only focus on symptoms. Magnetic Tape affects the autonomic nervous system by stimulating epidermal cells, thereby adjusting abnormal muscle reflexes caused by the central nervous system, helping to inhibit reflexes and bringing immediate results.

Moreno knew about this type of muscle tape because he was a student of Selva in the master's program taught by this expert. After studying all the scientific literature and testing, Alcaraz's therapists were completely convinced by the product's effectiveness.

Besides Alcaraz, many other famous athletes in Spain also use magnetic muscle tape. This includes basketball players Queralt Casas and Cristina Ouvina, racing driver Jorge Navarro and Real Sociedad soccer player Takefusa Kubo.
