Ronnie Coleman has achieved 8 Mr. Olympias and that was not an easy feat: because his incredible physique needed him to work extremely hard, which ultimately led to 13 surgeries and injury in the leg for a lifetime. The King cemented himself in the history of bodybuilding for the better half of the industry’s 2000s. However, this success came with a heavy price and to stay on the top he had to undergo extreme high-intensity training for years and follow a strict diet.

The former police officer was so dedicated to his craft that he ignored what his body needed the most which was rest. This led to chronic back issues and shoulder pain for as long as he can remember, and he had to go through multiple surgeries which ultimately led him to use a wheelchair after retirement. However, after getting treatment, he might be able to walk again!

Ronnie Coleman uploaded a YouTube video where he went to Abu Dhabi for treatment at MAD Recovery Center. He decided to document the whole experience and show what kind of treatment he was getting so that the King could walk again even if it was for a short while. When the doctor was asking general questions about how his movement had been or how much the pain was bearable, the King answered in an affirmative that it was better than usual.

The specialist and doctor at the Medical Center checked his back muscles and the pressure points that might have been. However, Coleman said that it was not pain as much at the moment. Then the treatment started, and they used a red light which acts as a stimulant for energy factors. The doctor also recommended that if he was supposed to do a water plunge, then it was important to rest 24 hours the day after. For the nitrogen base plunge, the doctor recommended that it could be done before the workout or even after the workout and it does not matter.

The bodybuilding champion who had made his condition worse until 2007 is taking all necessary steps to make himself better and does not give up. After watching the video, the fans of the legend were excited, and it would touch their heart to see the legend trying to walk again.
