Joel Embiid Visits Aspetar Clinic

The Philadelphia 76ers showed complete faith in the future of the team in Joel Embiid when the team shipped the rehabbing center to Qatar’s Aspetar Clinic. At the time, Joel Embiid was just getting to the point of beginning to retrain his body for NBA play once more.

But rather than repeat a process that may land Embiid back at the starting block, the Philadelphia 76ers shipped him to Aspetar Clinic in Dohar, Qatar.  Once there, specialists used the same technology used to create lifelike video games to record motion speed and stress on Embiid’s body, especially the foot, in order to design an optimal rehabilitation and training regiment.

More Than Rehab

Following the first visit, Embiid would return home to Philadelphia to follow specific exercises and training practices. After that, he would return to Aspetar to receive the complete care plan.

Aspetar is more than a treatment facility. It’s the world renowned center for preventative medicine.  It was the best possible treatment site for the player who would ultimately define the risk taking long range strategy of the Philadelphia 76ers.  In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers did everything possible to ensure Joel Embiid would enjoy a long NBA career.
