The application of an alternative physiotherapeutic treatment is studied in 14 soccer players who suffered first-degree sprain of the medial collateral ligament in their knee during the months of August 2009 to January 2010. The causes and mechanisms of injury are described, in addition to the greater and better effectiveness of the alternative treatment than conventional treatment. The alternative treatment decreases length of treatment and physical and psychological harm may experience players with this type of injury.
