Today we have the start of one man’s journey to recovery after a serious knee injury. He will be using the RealRyder stationary bike as part of his physical therapy. We recently featured Spin Kicks Fitness Studio, a RealRyder Indoor Cycling Studio in Canada, which also offers top quality Taekwon-Do classes!
Sandro Scarsellone one of the co-owners of Spin Kicks Fitness Studio is changing gears!
Sandro has been using the RealRyder stationary bike since November 2008 to train for the O-Cup MTB Season. He was running 4th overall in the Ontario MTB Series and looking to move up in the standings. He was having a stellar season, proof that using the RealRyder stationary bike had really helped his training. Then suddenly on Sunday July 11th, 2010 he fractured his right patella and had to have surgery as it was split in two!! Now Sandro will take a new path as he has decided that the RealRyder stationary bike will be his tool to recovery!
Ouch! A split knee cap sounds like a lot of pain and we wish Sandro a full and speedy recovery.
We certainly wouldn’t wish an injury of this type on anyone, but it does give us the opportunity to share Sandro’s experience in using our stationary bike as part of his recovery program! Indoor cycling is low impact and offers the training and physical therapy benefits of cycling without the risk of further injury due to a fall while riding outside.
Spin Kicks offer Anaerobic Threshold testing to optimize your training and Sandro had already demonstrated that using the RealRyder stationary bike as part of his training program was very effective with his high position in the O-Cup series.
We look forward to hearing how Sandro gets on using our stationary bike as a recovery tool! Sandro will be updating us with his progress, so stay tuned!
Obviously it goes without saying that anyone who experiences ANY serious injury should seek medical advice BEFORE engaging in any physical activity of this nature.
