Valentin Dablainville is a researcher at Aspetar Sports Medicine Hospital and a PhD candidate in muscle physiology at the Muscle Dynamics and Metabolism (DMEM) laboratory at the University of Montpellier, France. His academic and clinical research focuses on the application of thermal therapies—such as heat and cold modalities—as innovative approaches to enhance recovery from muscle injuries.
His current doctoral project explores the underlying physiological mechanisms of thermal therapies and their impact on muscle injury dynamics, with a particular focus on their clinical application in the treatment of hamstring injuries.
