Liverpool Captain Jordan Henderson Owes Ballet for His Return from Heel Injury

Jordan Henderson's return to the Liverpool team is in part down to lessons learned from ballet.

The skipper at Anfield has missed three months with a heel injury known as plantar fasciitis, and he has tried a series of treatments to get back on the pitch.

According to Yahoo Sport:

Henderson and Reds’ head of physiotherapy Chris Morgan tried everything to aid the England midfielder's recovery , including getting advice from the England rugby experts and the Australian cricket team.

And they even sought input from ballet schools—where similar heel injuries are common place.
