Transfers - Paper Round: Kuyt hammer blow - Yahoo! Eurosport
Hot on the heels of Robin van Persie's horse placenta comes arguably the weirdest medical treatment of the season, courtesy of Dirk Kuyt.
The Liverpool forward told the Daily Mail he employs somebody to come over from Holland twice a year and hit him with a mallet.
Kuyt calls him an orthomanual therapist - we call him a man with a big wooden hammer.
The therapist, who goes by the preposterous name of 'Jan-Jan the hammer man', whacks Kuyt with the mallet "to find out which bones and joints are out of place because of all the kicks I get during the season."
Incredibly, this alternative medicine mumbo-jumbo seems to work. Kuyt was ever-present in the Premier League last season and once played 179 consecutive games for his previous club Feyenoord.
Kuyt's fellow Dutchman Van Persie travelled to Serbia earlier this season where a doctor rubbed horse placenta on an injured ankle in a bid to speed the healing process. However, he has not played since early November.
It works?
