Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 73 Why Cramps

Nelson held Dudley's big boat-like feet in his arms, while muscular man Greg Davis worked hard to hold down Dudley's knees.

Dealing with the cramps of such a 6-foot-11 giant is really a physical job.

After a while, Dudley, who was grinning in pain, waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

Chen Yu also saw that the spasmodic gastrocnemius muscles in his calves had relaxed.

Nelson wiped the sweat from his forehead, checked his gastrocnemius, and then looked at Chen Yu: "Chen, his problem is not serious. I suggest you take a rest and not play this game tonight."

After saying that, he looked at Scales again.

Chen Yu was not in a hurry to express his opinion and also looked at Scales.

It's just a small problem. If Scales wants Dudley to play, then Chen Yu will help take care of it. Normal games at night will not be a problem.

Skiles sighed helplessly, nodded and said: "Then let's take a rest."

I did listen to the advice.

Then Chen Yu nodded along with the flow.

However, Chen Yu noticed that when Nelson told Dudley to take a rest without playing, Chakaridis, who had been standing uneasily next to him, looked even more guilty.

But due to the language barrier, I can only act in a hurry.

The team did provide him with a translator.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu walked to Clifford Robinson.

In the current Suns team, if you say who is the boss of the team, there is a high probability that it is Hardaway.

After all, Hardaway is the most famous in terms of reputation.

But in the locker room, we also need a experienced and capable veteran.

Obviously, it is Robinson, who is 35 years old and has been selected as an All-Star.

Chen Yu wanted Robinson to enlighten Chakaridis and let him understand that Dudley's foot cramps had nothing to do with him, so that he would not have to think too much.

The young man came all the way to the United States to play ball alone, and with no language barrier, Chen Yu felt that it was necessary to pay close attention to his mental state in the future.

But just as he was about to speak, Chen Yu suddenly frowned.

Both black people and white people have strong body odor, especially black people. Once they finish exercising and are covered in sweat, forget about the smell.

Lexi Zengjin said that what she particularly likes about Chen Yu is that he has no body odor and smells very comfortable.

Robinson also smelled bad, but Chen Yu smelled an unusual smell among the sour smell of sweat.

It is a leaf.

Chen Yu is no stranger to this stuff. Whether he is in university or medical school, there are always people around him who are contaminated with this stuff.

Of course Chen Yu himself couldn't avoid it.

"Cliff."

Chen Yu patted Robinson on the arm. This guy was nicknamed Uncle Cliff.

"Go and talk to Jack and tell him not to think too much. Look at him, he's so guilty." Chen Yu pointed at Chakaridis.

Chen Yu was in no hurry to speak out about Ye Zi.

But this cannot be ignored.

After Stern took office, the crazy ban on contraband was no joke.

Robinson said oh and went obediently.

Dudley was helped aside to rest while the others continued.

Chen Yu pulled up a chair and called Byron over to deal with Dudley's cramped muscles.

Rest is rest, but you still have to deal with it.

It just so happened that I also taught Byron.

"You should know the normal massage techniques." For massage therapists, dealing with cramps should be a basic skill.

As he spoke, Chen Yu himself started massaging his muscles.

Dudley raised his eyebrows and asked strangely: "Chen, why is your massage different from Byron's?"

Byron wondered, "What happened to my massage?"

They are both massages, so what difference can there be?

Byron showed a comfortable expression on his face, shook his head and said: "Your massage will hurt, it will hurt when you press it, and it will hurt for a long time after you press it. It may take until the next day for the pain to disappear. But Chen's is different, he is That kind of very subtle pain, like combing your scalp with a comb, it hurts slightly, but it's very comfortable, and it feels like your whole body...ah, yes, yes, right here."

Dudley grabbed the seat suddenly, stretched his body as much as he could, and cried out in comfort.

Byron, who was standing nearby, was stunned. What's wrong with you?It's just a massage. I don't know, I thought you did something like that.

Dudley let out a quick breath and pointed to his calf quickly: "Byron, have you seen it? This is the difference. It's so comfortable. I feel like my muscles are loosening all of a sudden."

Byron squatted down and stared at Chen Yu's hands.

Are the methods different?

It's just massaging muscles, with just a few movements, you can still do some tricks.

That's the strength. Dudley said it hurt slightly, maybe Chen Yu didn't use too much strength.

But just by looking, you can't see the doorway.

Chen Yu was going to teach him. After thinking about it, he first asked a question: "Byron, tell me why muscles cramp."

Byron immediately said: "There are many reasons, such as not fully warming up before exercise, and during excessive exercise, the human body loses a lot of water and electrolytes."

Chen Yu shook his head: "I mean the deeper reason?"

Byron was asked and shook his head to express that he didn't know.

"When you were in school, you definitely didn't study well in medical theory classes." Chen Yu said with a smile.

Byron holds a physical therapist license. Although this license is not easy to obtain, it is far inferior to a genuine rehabilitation physician license.

The rehabilitation physician license is similar to the medical license. It is a professional direction after graduating from medical school and is a real doctor.

Byron smiled sheepishly and hurriedly asked for advice.

Chen Yudao: "You should know that muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils. It is the contraction of myofibrils that drives our muscles to contract. Myofibrils are composed of many sarcomeres, and in each sarcomere, distribution Thick and thin myofilaments."

At this point, Byron suddenly woke up and said: "I remembered that there are a lot of myosin on the thick muscle filaments. Once they bite with the actin on the thin muscle filaments, they shorten the sarcomeres and drive the muscle to contract. "

"That's right." Chen Yu nodded, it seemed that he had learned it at that time.

Dudley in front of him also pricked up his ears silently, listening to the two people discussing why their muscles were cramping.

Chen Yu continued: "Then you should know that it is the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the muscle cells that releases calcium ions that allow myosin and actin to combine. However, if the blood supply cannot keep up with the consumption of muscle contraction, the muscle The plasma reticulum has no time to recycle calcium ions. At this time, myosin and actin keep interlocking, forming a tonic muscle contraction, which is a cramp."

Byron nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Chen Yu with a blank expression. He didn't know why Chen Yu said this. Suddenly, he even felt as boring as when he was in the theory class.

Chen Yu rolled his eyes silently, he said it so clearly, why don't you understand it yet?

"Vessels!"

Chen Yu reminded: "Muscles contract and squeeze blood vessels, causing poor blood supply. Compared with massaging muscles, it is actually more important to restore blood supply, understand the anatomy of the body, push away muscles that are squeezed together, and slow down the pressure on major blood vessels. It can quickly restore blood supply and relax muscles."

"There are also the acupoints I mentioned before. Stimulating the acupoints by pressing can also speed up blood circulation. Acupoint massage can relax muscles. This is the principle."

Chen Yu pointed out some acupoints on his calf, such as Zusanli and Weizhong acupoints, to Byron.

Dudley had that kind of reaction just now, which was the feeling of relief caused by squeezing the blocked blood vessels and suddenly opening them up.

"Fake, I understand." Byron seemed to be enlightened, his eyes widened: "BOSS, you are really amazing."

He thinks that he has studied physical therapy and massage for many years and has rich experience, but he has never combined theory with practical experience.

Today, Chen Yu taught him a solid lesson.

"Okay." Chen Yu patted Dudley and motioned for him to get up and move around.

Dudley stood up doubtfully, walked back and forth, and said incredulously: "Chen, my calf almost doesn't hurt anymore. It's amazing."

Professional athletes like them, who are strong and strong, are extremely difficult to get cramps, but once they cramp, they are far more severe than ordinary people.

Even with a professional physical therapist, even a mild cramp may require a good night's sleep before it can be relieved the next day.

But for Chen Yu, just one massage had such an effect.

Chen Yu smiled and motioned for Dudley to continue walking to relax his muscles.

The all-seeing eye can see, it is targeted and the techniques are good, but the systematic massage technology also plays an important role in the effectiveness.

Seeing that Byron was still thinking hard, Chen Yu said: "I will find time to teach you all later. You go to the office area first. Isn't there an empty utility room next to my office? You go find someone to clean it up briefly. I will use it later." "Byron responded and went obediently.

Chen Yu found Nelson again and asked him to inform all players that after training, don't leave in a hurry, go to the utility room and have a chat with himself.

Each player's training program is different, and some end early, so it will not delay them too long.

"What are you talking about?" Nielsen was a little confused.

talk?
But that's all the head coach's business.

And even if you are the head coach, you will rarely talk to the players. They are all professional players. To put it bluntly, it is a job. The head coach is the superior and the leader. It doesn't matter. Any leader will come to chat with you when he is free.

Even the players themselves are unwilling to chat with the head coach, because nothing good will come of it.

Chen Yu, the director of the medical department, Nelson really couldn't figure out what Chen Yu wanted to talk to the players about.

"Just small talk, you just inform them."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he left the training ground and went to find Brian.

Chen Yu couldn't ignore Ye Zi's matter.

Moreover, there must be zero tolerance for this matter. Robinson must be made aware of the seriousness of the matter, serious enough to make him get out.

It's no exaggeration.

Not to mention the attitude of the league, within the team, young players look to the old players as role models. Some old players will lead by example, while others will only lead the young players into bad ways.

There are too many temptations around these players to be rich, have lots of money, go to nightclubs, and have beautiful women with huge amounts of money. If they don't ignore them, problems can easily arise.

Brian was on the phone, seemingly calling the media, trying to suppress Kidd's domestic violence incident.

This matter has already started, and the reporter of the morning news took the picture outside Kidd's villa.

It didn't seem to make sense, so Brian was in a bad mood. He took a deep breath and apologized to Chen Yu first: "Chen, you just joined the job, and so many things happened to the team, I haven't been free yet. It’s time to ask you, how are you doing, are you still adaptable to the working environment, and if you have any dissatisfaction, I will handle it.”

Chen Yu shook his head and said no, and then said: "Brian, maybe I have to tell you another bad news."

Brian was suddenly startled, and his face turned pale in worry: "Is someone injured?"

"That's not true." Chen Yu said quickly.

This reaction is a bit big. It is probably because the team suffered too many injuries.

"But it's quite troublesome. It's Robinson. I found him smoking leaves." Chen Yu said.

Brian, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, instantly widened his eyes when he heard this.

It took a full three seconds for Brian to slam the table and yell angrily at Fake.

"Chen, are you sure?"

Brian's face turned dark. If this matter were exposed by the media, the negative impact would be no less than Kidd's.

Chen Yu nodded and pointed to his nose: "My nose is very good. He has that smell on his body. I'm sure he had it before coming to training today."

"Fake."

Brian cursed again, sat back angrily, pulled off his tie, and frowned.

If it's a small player, I didn't say anything, just tell him to get out immediately and go back to where he came from.

But this is Clifford Robinson, the beloved Uncle Cliff.

He has always been the team's main power forward and was the team's scoring leader last season. He still has three years and 2300 million left on his contract.

Rubbing his temples fiercely, Brian asked: "Chen, how do you think we should handle it?"

If there is a problem with a player's physical condition, the medical department is also responsible for dealing with it.

On the way here, Chen Yu also thought about it and said: "Brian, we can't compromise on this matter and handle it softly. We must have a tough attitude. If we don't take it seriously and just give a simple warning, he will still hug us." There is a sense of luck.”

"So he must understand the seriousness of the matter. If he cannot completely cut off the contract, although the contract cannot be terminated, he can be made to sit on the bench and never play football."

"He is only 35 years old this year and is in good shape. I think he cannot afford to sit on the bench all the time."

Brian nodded thoughtfully: "I think so too, once this kind of thing is discovered by the alliance."

At this point, he trembled suddenly.

The person in front of me seems to be the head of the league's player health management department, and he is half of the league.

Chen Yu smiled knowingly.

Brian understood. If he didn't handle it well, Chen Yu would definitely report it to the alliance.

"Chen, I understand. I will talk to him when the training is over soon." Brian said immediately, hesitated, and then gave a questioning look, asking Chen Yu if he could join him.

Chen Yu nodded: "Okay, the training will be finished soon, and I want to have a chat with each of them."

Brian was stunned for a moment and asked strangely what they were talking about.

"Anything is OK." Chen Yu explained: "Bryan, players are under a lot of pressure and are prone to psychological problems, which directly affects their competitive state. In our era, let alone them. It is not easy for stars, even ordinary people, to admit that they have mental illness."

"But I think we still need to pay attention to these issues, so I decided that after every training in the future, I will talk to them for no more than 5 minutes, so that I can pay attention to their mental state at any time."

Brian opened his mouth in shock, thought for a while, and then said: "You are the head of the medical department, I listen to you, and you are right, I really haven't thought about this problem before."

Who the hell cares if a bunch of millionaires have psychological problems.

And what could be the problem? Is there too much money to spend?

On the training ground, the players who had completed training gathered together and prepared to disband.

Dudley was telling everyone the story about how Chen Yu convinced Byron with just a few words.

"Then he is quite powerful." Kidd said.

Byron is already powerful enough, but I didn't expect Chen Yu to be even more powerful.

Tony Delk, the starting point guard who was just traded this year, said: "I have read media reports that Chen opened a clinic in Orlando. The Magic players would go to his clinic to relax after training. Later, Darrell Armstrong He also told reporters that they trained so hard that without Chen’s physical therapy, they would not have been able to persist.”

"By the way, the media also said that Chen Tiantian took the needle to zahir." He added with a grin.

Marion, who was silent next to him, suddenly interrupted: "Then will he stab us in the future?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, with complicated expressions.

At this time, Nelson came over and informed everyone not to leave in a hurry, but to chat with Chen Yu.

"What are we talking about?" Everyone looked confused.

Nelson didn't know what to talk about, so he said: "This is Chen's request. Just follow it. It is also part of the training plan."

Everyone looked at each other and had to go to the utility room.

Byron also pulled up two rows of benches for the players to sit and wait.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling embarrassed, and no one wanted to be the first to enter.

At this time, the door opened, and Chen Yu stuck his head out, glanced at everyone, and pointed at Delke who was nearest: "Tony, you come first."

Delk's body stiffened, and he walked into the utility room first under the sympathetic eyes of others.

The utility room was cleared, and a round table was placed in the middle. Surrounding the round table were two boss chairs. There were also coffee machines, juices, water glasses, etc. on the table next to them.

On the table, there were actually candies and a small pot of cactus.

"Sit." Chen Yu asked Delke to sit down.

This scene made Delke even more cautious. He sat down nervously and said before Chen Yu could say anything: "Chen, I'm in good health."

"I know, we won't talk about this either." Chen Yu smiled slightly, and then asked Delk what he wanted to drink.

Delk talked about juice, and became even more confused. Apart from injuries, what else could we talk about.

Chen Yu poured him a glass of juice, and then said: "Actually, I just want to chat with you. We can talk about anything, such as today's weather, what you ate when you woke up in the morning, or if you don't want to talk, then we can It’s okay to sit like this for a while.”

Delke looked at Chen Yu in confusion, opened his mouth, and chose silence.

In just 5 minutes, Delk pushed the door open and walked out.

Kidd and others quickly gathered around and asked what they were talking about.

Delke thought for a while with his eyebrows crooked, and then said in an uncertain tone: "We didn't talk about anything. After we entered, he said he wanted to talk about the weather, and then he kept staring at me with a smile. It's very strange, you know? ."

He frowned, trying hard to describe the feeling.

"I feel like I don't know if it's him or me who has a problem. By the way, what's wrong with me?"

Delk looked up and asked with a confused look on his face.
