After an injury which occurred in pre season, Aaron has been working hard with our SSES staff to get him back on the pitch.<\/p>\n
He is five months into his nine month post operation recovery after he tore a ligament which required reconstructing. Part of his intense recovery is to work with Dr John Dickinson to maintain his fitness level, whilst working with some of our third year students to rehabilitate his injury.<\/p>\n
Due to the extent of his injury, Aaron can\u2019t run unaided or jump, so John is having him cycle in an environmental chamber with reduced oxygen level so his cardiovascular system is having a workout without putting excessive stress through his injury.\u00a0When he\u00a0is\u00a0ready to start running again, his fitness won\u2019t cause any delays getting on the pitch.<\/p>\n
In addition, Aaron undertaking rehabilitation with our third year therapy students which includes using an Alter-G treadmill, also known as an anti-gravity treadmill; the Alter-G uses positive pressure to reduce the load placed through the joint which allows Aaron to run at 55% of his bodyweight. Using the treadmill\u00a0will aid recovery and hopefully allow him to run\u00a0supporting own body weight sooner.<\/p>\n
Aaron hopes to be fully recovered in time to begin the start of pre season training for the\u00a02017-18\u00a0season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
