Every health journey deserves
a trusted guide.

In 2013, while training in the United States, Javi felt what he describes as an explosion in his knee as he prepared to jump. He underwent surgery for injuries to the patellar tendon and vastus medialis and spent approximately two years recovering before returning to competition.

Years later, during a tournament in Portugal, another serious injury caused substantial swelling, an acute medial collateral ligament strain close to tearing, and medial meniscus wear. Unlike his first injury, the pain remained even when he was not training. At night it became so severe that he reports needing anti-inflammatory medication to sleep.

After trying several hyaluronic acid and ozone sessions without obtaining the result he hoped for, Javi researched stem cell therapy. A fellow athlete with a similar history shared his own positive experience, encouraging Javi to explore the option more seriously.

He had already consulted other physicians when Ingrid helped him organize another medical consultation, communicate with the physician, and clarify questions about the proposed application and recovery protocol. She accompanied him throughout the process—support that Javi says was especially valuable for someone receiving care in another country.

Following professional guidance, he limited activity to walking during the first month. In the second month he gradually added pool exercise, cycling, and lighter strength training. By the third month he returned to moving on the sand. Although he feared the pain would return, he reports that it did not, and he progressively rebuilt his training routine with Ingrid’s support.

More than a year after treatment, Javi is again training with weights and playing volleyball. In his personal experience, the process marked a before and after in his life.
