Australia cricket team captain Michael Clarke has been undergoing sessions in a high-tech spinal machine as he awaits for the medical results that would determine how much of the summer he would miss due to his hamstring injury.
Clarke, who once described the device as a "matter of life and death for his career", has been using MedX machine twice daily for 45 minutes. The machine that facilitates in improving spinal strength, stability, flexibility and endurance is reportedly priced around 50,000 Australian dollars, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Describing the MedX machine as the money in the bank, he said that he would sit in position in the machine while it stretches him to full flexion and full extension. Every second spent in the machine strengthens the body, he said in 2013 Ashes diary.
However, it is believed that the treatment is not directed towards his current injury, but for the degenerative disk that he has faced throughout his career.
