The Juventino defender is fully recovered and prepares to take his place next to Bonucci. Meanwhile, Immobile challenges the Belgian striker. “Who is better between me and him? We will ask Inzaghi.”
Having a good time…. Italy forward Ciro Immobile commenting on his teammates Lorenzo Insigne jokes… “With his jokes he will make me take a cuddly!” Surely, the atmosphere is positive and enthusiasm among the players makes it even easier to get along. Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne regularly creating practical jokes to Ciro Immobile.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announce that the national team players have been following an innovative technique laid out by the medical and performance staff, which has multiple positive effects. Basically, this about water treatment to ease muscle tension after the game.
As reported by the FIGC, this technique, which has been recently perfected thanks to the contribution of osteopathic physiotherapist Walter Martinelli, is part of the recovery plan that integrates medical skills and those of the performance staff, coordinated by Valter Di Salvo. It is an activity that has been enjoying great success with the Azzurri players, who seem to benefit greatly from it.

The water treatment is carried out after the usual gym work and postural recovery; the players then move on to the swimming pool where two or three physiotherapists – under the supervision of Professor Andrea Ferretti and Doctor Carmine Costabile – perform joint mobility manoeuvres, stretching, acupressure and osteopathic techniques, promoting a deep state of relaxation with an effect on the Autonomous Nervous System. This technique allows the players to loosen post-game muscle tension, as well as relieve fatigue and stiffness.
In this dimension, the body tends to abandon itself completely. The effect on the circulatory, lymphatic, and respiratory systems is also significant, to which the Azzurri physiotherapists pay particular attention by mobilising the chest and diaphragmatic muscles.
The pool’s water has a temperature of about 35 degrees and a depth of 110 – 120 centimetres. The work is accompanied by ‘relaxing music’ in the background.
The relaxation levels achieved through this technique often lead to athletes falling asleep in the water. The body appears to return to a foetal state. The aquatic environment that vaguely recalls the amniotic fluid, the heat, the state of total predisposition to the absorption of external stimuli and gentle movements – aimed at restoring the autonomic nervous system – in fact, lead to a restoration of the state of homeostasis.
