Yao returns to China for more treatment

Our Raymond reports that even though Yao Ming had been working out his limbs and legs in Houston, the wound on his left foot is still very swollen. So with the approval of his Houston doctors and Rockets management, he flew back China to seek more medical help from Chinese doctors and arrived late Thursday night, Beijing time.

For more photos of Yao’s arrival in China, click here.

Yao will stay in Beijing for about 10 days and will go through some Chinese therapy and treatment. After that, he will return to Houston for his Roast and Toast charity event (organized by Calvin Murphy) on April 17th, and continue his rehabilitation in Houston.

To see more photos from Yao’s workout in his pool (including a visit from Steve Francis), continue to read the rest of this post.
