Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos has reassured fans he is making good progress in his rehabilitation from injury and is beginning to feel stronger again
The Greece international damaged his ankle after falling awkwardly during Arsenal's FA Cup defeat against Manchester Untied last week
Sokratis has been documenting his road to recovery and updated Arsenal fans on Thursday as he posted a picture of him receiving radiofrequency treatment
WHAT IS RADIOFREQUENCY? The treatment involves the delivery of its patented 448 kHz monopolar radiofrequency energy deep into the skin's dermis and sub-dermal layer without damaging the external layer of skin
It is used to accelerate the healing of injuries and enables athletes to return to action with shorter downtime
Radiofrequency is a non-invasive treatment which involves the delivery of its patented 448 kHz monopolar radiofrequency energy deep into the skin's dermis and sub-dermal layer without damaging the external layer of skin
The treatment is used to accelerate the healing of injuries and enables athletes to return to action with shorter downtime
The 30-year-old posted a defiant message alongside the photo, writing on Instagram: 'Healing step by step
Feeling already stronger.' Sokratis has been keeping fans notified about his recovery process on social media and insisted he is working as hard as possible to return to fitness earlier this week as he posted a picture of him sat at home strapped into a recovery machine
