when I tore my achilles I still felt uncomfortable trying to run/and or jump on it at 5 months and I was being very aggressive with my rehab so I cannot imagine what he's gonna look like at 3 months...granted I'm not a professional athlete with access to world-class doctors, trainers, and medical facilities but as brian said biology is still biology...
this is so true. sports have made people more delusional or unrealistic of injuries and their time to heal. when we see athletes playing again in a season, we think we can be normal a year after an injury, too. that is simply not the case.
Science is beyond biology at this point. Lol there's plenty of Grey Market surgeries that fixed things that shouldn't be
Dude I watched this video and every time I hear about Achilles injuries it makes me uncomfortable I hope I never experience that shit it sounds awful. Rodgers needs to be more realistic cuz he could come back and re tear it
@daveyguilles376 for me the pain wasn't that bad. It just snapped and I lost control of my ankle. I only had pain after the surgery. Still wouldn't recommend not being able to walk for several months...haha
You might not have had access to Aaron Rodgers' surgeons, but at any big city hospital, the surgeons are gonna be very good. They have to be. They do surgeries like ACLs & Achilles on a wide variety of patients, from high school athletes to elderly tennis players. The techniques are the same but they make minor adjustments to the protocols for a kid versus a 70-year-old. These surgeries are like repairing a torn piece of fabric, and the surgeons all have to carefully weave that fabric back together.
And that's where biology comes back in. The cells in that "fabric" have to grow back, and reform the fabric in the right pattern. A teenager's cells is likely to grow faster than a 70-year-old's. No matter what Rodgers says, he's NOT a teenager. Even with the best nutrition (or steroids), they can only grow so fast. And that tendons "fabric" has to strengthen before you can push its ability to handle more strain. Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson needed at least a year, and they're not getting tackled by 300lb defensive linemen. The notion that he comes back to play in December Is absurd.
This guy can’t be beat with his quickness to reply to news, love your content
This is what happens when you’re unvaccinated
@@GardenGuy1943 lol wut m8
@@1995blooperwe still on vaccines huh
No, this is what happens when you're a nerd. I think.
The problem with his analysis is, who gives a fck what his apprehensions are about the process. He's a pssy, he couldn't understand what pain a strong man can endure to honor his team and an entire city + his own legacy.
All micro flexes in this weeny, no macro flex. Aaron Rodgers can scale up and down.
Aaron Rodgers is a master of his craft.
This guy's craft is analyzing how things "should" work IF all things were equal.
But, are all things equal?
Alrighty then. Fk covid btw
He is a Sagittarius
Rogers trying to return in 3 months is not actually about returning it’s psychology. He’s trying to be forward looking and stay motivated. Deep down I don’t think he believes it’s remotely possible to turn but it helps him stay connected, working hard and excited.
idk he's pretty narcissistic and dumb
He just wants to stay in the news. It's a narcissist so he has to have people talk about him.
@@PhilM4 LOL. Here you have the dichotomy of someone who has a positive outlook on the world vs someone who has been corrupted by the internet mind virus and forgets we are all humans trying to make it work.
@@PhilM4 lol you delusional "muh arod spotlight" people always somehow forget the fact that arod despises the media and literally avoids the spotlight at all costs. Aaron rodgers tuesday is literally the only time the world ever hears from him, and that's only 20 Tuesdays per year and for half an hour at a time.
Lmao so you basically proved he's a big egotistical baby. Arodge the narcissistic.
As a physical therapist who sees these kinds of injuries every day (25 years experience in orthopedics), everything Brian says is spot on. Can Aaron Rodgers do it, yes. Is it MUCH more likely to re-tear, yes. Would I do it or recommend a patient return to sport in 3 months, no. As Brian said, he's an adult and can make his own decisions. Let's not make this the norm. I wish Aaron well, but I wouldn't even think of returning to NFL football in less than 9 months and even that would be a quick recovery.
Totally agreed. I was about to jump down here and say the same thing working in PT myself. Even if he's just hanging out in the pocket, the thought of any cutting motion, rapid positional changes, slipping, or hit, especially during the first several months of an early return, makes me want to cringe lol. Yes he CAN do it but I sure as heck wouldn't.
I have a question, we all know of the “outliers” such as cam Akers and Adrian Peterson (coming back from acl in 6 months)…
How does a doctor or therapist know that they’re dealing with an outlier ? Like for Adrian Peterson, ACL protocol was “x”, what makes a doctor clear him outside or that protocol?
Like what are you looking for there for athletes that heal extra fast?
He's an adult, but an adult very susceptible to quackery.
Team doctors still have to clear him. It's not just up to him
@@proscriptus Indeed, he is huffing his own ego at this point.
He may not be a mobile, scrambling qb, but he has to be able to. I cant imagine him returning to the field not 100%. Anything less is crazy IMO. There's a high chance of him returning early to only reinjure the tendon after the first qb scramble
Plus their o line is garbage he takes another sack it could be crazy bad
Yeah. He should definitely wait until the jets are in the playoffs
So you telling me he aint scrambling in practice?
The dude was running for his life on the first 4 plays of the season and he wants to come back even less mobile with an even worst O-Line? Sure have at it Arod. 🤣
Then he plays at MetLife stadium now and everyone knows how bad that turf is
What I imagine he’ll say when he’s inevitably asked about this on Tuesday, is that he is pushing his rehab with the mid December date in mind. He was also vague enough that he could claim he wants to return to practice by that point, rather than to the starting lineup.
It also is going to be very easy for him and the team to not play him if the Jets don’t win at least 2 games in the next month, as he definitely will not come back to a team that has no chance to make the playoffs.
Exactly. It’s all about keeping his name in the media despite the fact he claims he doesn’t like that. He’s not coming back this year. He’s just being a propagandist so the media will keep talking about him
No, he probably will come back if his Achilles is healed fully and his team is eliminated
@Alex-tx2dh It won't be fully healed, that was the point of the video
My thoughts exactly. Jets aren't going anywhere this year. Just wait till next season.
This is the narrative. Aaron will say he's ready while a behind the scenes arrangement will be that Robert Saleh will decide it's not worth the risk to rush him back since the jets are not likely to make the playoffs.
If they are in the playoff picture, they will bring him out for a few running plays from the shotgun. Then say they'll ease him in.
I love the response to the video. It does not seem safe to return so quickly. It takes time to heal, no matter who you are.
You’re vaccinated, you wouldn’t understand
Do you think Stem Cells injections or HGH injects help with recovery time?
Aaron Rodgers is just a clown. He needs to retire.
Hopefully, he'll work for next year. I hope he makes a wise and healthy comeback. Thanks for the official particulars, Dr. Sutterer.
Great informative update vid as usual Brian, appreciate you and all the knowledge you bring. I was receiving A-little staticky on the background audio.
Yea :/ sorry, idk what happened. Didn’t catch it on the watch back
Great stuff again, Doc! Time is key.
How much do think his age plays in the rtp or healing process?
"Aaron Rogers on a wheelchair is still much better than a fully healthy Zach Wilson." - Jets fans
Sadly the rules don't allow for players to have wheelchairs on the field.
literally. please save us 70% healthy rodgers pls
Jets: GET AN OFFENSIVE LINE!!!
I'm getting some staticky noise on your studio audio. Cheers and informative video as always :).
Same
I can't help but feel there's some Front Office influence to get him back on the field. He might be recovering well but now he's talking about putting real world speed and pressure on his calf. He should absolutely wait til next season
I don't think so. I think Rodgers is talking out of his ass like he is known to do quite often. I don't think he can stand not having people talk about him.
He's an idiot. Remember his vaccine nonsense? "I am immunized" then gave his whole team covid.
@@thesandboxbandit3838 yeah i dont see them being that shortsighted with someone whose worth so much to the team
Or Aaron thinks he is smarter than everyone and is acting on it (also he is super smug as well)
Lol trust me this is Aaron.
I ruptured my achilles, got surgery, then overstretched my achilles in rehab and had to start back at ground 0
ur name is rachel not rodgers
@@Dee--😂
@Dee-- wow really 😳 I had no idea! I thought I was Aaron Rodgers this whole time. Thank you so much for revealing who I truly am. I will carry this comment with me for the rest of my life
I agree, I think he’s rushing his recovery, just because he can walk around doesn’t mean the repair wont fail under physical high pressure situations such as participating in professional NFL football games where his body is gonna be forced to exert way more pressure than normal.
I’m sure Rodgers is quite aware of the risks. He may be anti-vax, but he knows he would be nowhere without his surgeon and others in the medical field. He knows he can’t play football in two months, but keeping himself relevant.
I hope he doesn't get injured again. Wishing him all the best
Aaron Rodgers FAKED THE INJURY! PERIOD! Just more RIGGED NFL SCRIPTING!
I’m the opposite, him rushing back and then re injuring it would be so much fun to see him explain it. When a guy thinks he’s a God I love to see them come back to earth
The Jets would be nuts to play him . He won't be able to scramble and run he'll just get injured again
Put him in the game of December. He’s gonna get hurt again anyway.
Aaron should be focused on next year. I hope he is following his Doctors advice.
Pretty sure his crazy doctor is on board with this early return
@@veganpottertheveganhis crazy doctor who said ivermectin was good against covid, call him crazy because he isn't controlled by big pharma.
Yea, no point in returning. He’s going to re-injure himself like Kevin Durant.
Asking him to follow medical advice is like asking him to get a flu shot
No way he is following his doctors advice! No way, no how. Because he is Aaron Rodgers! Biggest ego in the NFL.
What if someone tore their Achilles/ACL in the 1400-1500's? I'm genuinely curious if they just lived with it being torn for the rest of their lives.
Sadly, athletes who ruptured their achilles in the 1400-1500s most definitely immediately retired from the NFL.
if you keep your foot plantar flexed for an extended period of time the two ends of the ruptured achilles will naturally reconnect. It takes a very long time though (1 year+)
@@adboss10Imagine standing on your tippy toes for over a year, especially in that time period, thinking the achilles tendon will reattach and you’ll be able to return to sports.
So that's why they taught us Hopscotch growing up
You lived with a limp. A common sight in ye Olde times was an old soldier or farmer living with a limp or missing fingers etc
There seems to be a little static on your voice recording. First time I ever noticed on any of them. It's a minor thing but it does linger in your mind and distract you from the good information your providing. Your videos are really good and informative. Keep up the good work.
Rogers is crazy to want to come back to Stand behind that offense line
The whole thing is weird. Perhaps the injury was fake. If he comes back, then I will think is was a fake injury.
Aaron Rodgers FAKED THE INJURY! PERIOD! Just more RIGGED NFL SCRIPTING!
@@chevy4x466so he staged a fake surgery? 😂 put the pipe down bro
@@poindextertunes so why did he have blood on the back of his pants? U were there at the surgery?
Did you even watch the footage of it popping? Lol
Brian can you weigh in on the difference in the Achilles surgeries? He said he got a different type that was made from a shoulder surgery? Also Rodgers has stressed that he’s hopeful but not operating on a specific timeline. This could be the media embellishing the story
Speed Bridge was the surgery he had, an interesting procedure
100% media embellishing. It’s like last week when he sarcastically said he would be back in a few weeks, clearly tongue in cheek
Rodger’s is unvaccinated, so his body is stronger than the general public is used to. I’m not surprised.
You rock Doc, your videos are awesome. You explain things in a way that the layman can comprehend. I think Rogers is making a mistake trying to return in a month and I just hope, as you point out the potentiality, that he doesn't re-injure the tendon or rupture it again outright.
Dude thanks for explaining that treadmill always wondered how it worked thats so cool!!
Great video Doc. I went thru this. I was playing in six months. Baseball, not football. I did limit myself tho. No way I'd come back to football that fast. What if a 300lb guy jumps on his back when he's in a compromised position? It's just not worth going the surgery and the rehab all over again. Another challenge is once the tendon is healed, convincing yourself it won't happen again.
Thanks so much, Doc, always so informative. In addition to merely stitching the achilles back together didn't the surgeon also knit a "sleeve" or a some sort of sheath across the repture to exo-strengthen the bond and allow for this accelerated recovery?
To be quite frank i honestly believe if he returns to play successfully for rest of the season, post season and off season (i.e. one year post surgery) the most likely explanation is peptides and/or other PEDs. Considering some of the olympic and professional athletes ive been blessed to hear from it would come as no surprise to me that someone in not only the nfl but the top of the league, would be using PEDs especially in a recovery context
Absolutely 100% no doubt in my mind he's on at least one or all of these: Testosterone, HGH, BPC-157, stem cells, PRP, or TB-500. I know he won't say it because he doesn't want to get potentially sued, but the doc needs to take PEDs into consideration when estimating his recovery window.
Great video as always! I was hoping for a different conclusion because I hoped the science was there. But, something bothered me that Aaron was coming back mid Dec. I wanted him too but I don't want to see him get hurt. Anyway, thank you for the very informative info and your very thorough analysis in this video and all your helpful videos that you've put out. You taught me a lot and I'm sure many others. For that.... Thank you
I have a few thoughts:
1) The media is blowing it out of proportion. Every professional athlete has a GOAL to win the championship. Very few do. I think it is fine that he has this goal. The media is acting like he is saying he will definitely be back by then. If you actually listen to what HE says firsthand, he is not being unrealistic.
2) He is at the very tail-end of his career. And he is a QB. His risk of reinjury has to take these things into account. As an elite QB who understands his body and the game, I will give him the credit that he can adjust his play to minimize risk. No one is pretending like coming back this early is risk-free. But that risk is probably worth it to him and the Jets with that defense if they have a shot to make the playoffs by that point.
3) A lot of you will not like this one, but there is absolutely something to be said about mindset/belief when it comes to the body healing. And he is the type of person who very much believes in this and is surely actively adopting the such techniques to potentially accelerate his healing.
All the power to him. 🙏
Thanks for the very informative video. Appreciate your professional opinion and not sensationalizing it all
Solid vid! A critical part you missed is how important the lower body is in the throwing motion. That’s where the majority of the strength is generated. A strong, dynamic lower body and core are necessary to play quarterback in the NFL.
he didn’t miss anything. lets see your video
thanks doctor hahahaha
Love the honesty and the research to back it up 💯🙏🏾🛐
Unless he’s on HGH, some crazy peptides and some anabolic support, I can’t imagine how he’d heal this fast. It took 10 months for me to even feel good to run.
Well he probably is, the stuff is rampant in the NFL
also ayahuasca
For sure he microdoses..
Absofuckinlutely he is on all the sauce lol. Just like the rest of the NFL.
Aaron Rodgers FAKED THE INJURY! PERIOD! Just more RIGGED NFL SCRIPTING!
I hope and pray Aaron doesn't really return in December. Can you imagine how much healthier he would be if he takes the rest of the season/summer off, comes into training camp as best as he can be, and is fully ready come September? Thats the smarter option, especially since it's not looking promising for the Jets to make the playoffs this year.
What I will say is it is REALLY impressive how quickly Aaron is recovering 😀
Yeah I would’ve loved insight on what he’ll be risking. If his Achilles is fully healthy by the end of December, doesn’t seem like he’ll be risking anything
Nvm I wasn’t done with the video
Don’t worry about it. Us as JETS are bound to fail in the most spectacular fashion and he won’t have to worry about this year
Please don’t come back until the Jets have an offensive line!!!
Dr. Sutterer, is it possible that the achillies tendon repair site was treated with stem cells as part of the surgery in order to accelerate healing?
I don't think it would make much difference since what takes time is the remodeling phase, not cell replication and collagen production
PRP is somewhat common during a mechanical rotator cuff repair…seen it used a handful of times…usually not used because it’s so expensive.
This was a really good break down on whats going on. Thank you!
Thanks Doc! Excellent explanations as always!!
I can't wait for him to refer to this video on the PMS this week 😂
😬😬
He's not coming back in December. Especially from an Achilles. He can respond all he wants but it's not happening. The dude can't even fully run. He probably wants to come back to show how badass he is. Brian is talking about the science behind this. Rodgers isn't.
@@AnthonyMcNeil I don't disagree with you at all. Was just making light of Rodgers subtly referring to one of Brian's previous videos.
Although I would love to see him come back this year, you just get the feeling that if he comes back it's not gonna end well
The unvaccinated body is remarkable. It’s a shame sheeple doubt him.
Yip
It might be helpful to share the snaps with Zach Wilson in his first couple games back. Kind of ease back into the game but still have a big impact.
I don’t think he’s going to comeback. This is a pipe dream
Being an emt for 31 years working in the fire service I love to educate with Dr. Sutterer he is amazing. Wish it would count for cme credit lol
We’ve seen this before with KD in 2019. He partially tore his Achilles and rushed his return and ended up fully rupturing it in the finals. Hopefully rodgers just remains patient instead of risking further injury.
this isn't true, he injuried his calf because if he partially injuried his achilles he would've been shut down, mainly cause the effects of a torn achilles and an partially torn achilles is nearly the same because he would still not be able to walk or play basketball 🤦🏾
I think a lot of the reasons he is saying this is to keep hope in the team and fans so they don't give up on the season.
Excellent explanation, doctor.
Thank you.
As a physical therapy professional, patients are often warned about the "danger zone," which is the most critical time of rehab. Rodgers will not be fully recovered from this injury if he returns in December.
I’d really like to get your input and overall thoughts on (more specifically) his treatment or treatment options available to him?
I would guess with his financial status and personal contacts/resources he’s had stem cell treatments to aid in recovery. Is this a smart plan by him? And would they promote the healing of the Achilles itself? Additionally with his boss being the owner of one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, you would think they have access to certain medications that are in trials or not FDA approved in US but maybe elsewhere, that he would then have the ability to access. Just wondering your thoughts on that?
Appreciate the quick post tonight as well.
I'm sure he is. He's friends with Joe rogan 😂😂😂
Brian, being from Indiana, could you please talk about why you think Shaq Leonard has lost his physical ability to play at a high level?
Lol kinda dumb and random.
It's obvious he hasn't been able to return to his old self due to his pretty serious surgeries. And he just may never be the same again. He and Fred Warner were considered the best LBs... Now it's just Warner :)
@@porfiriato84 maybe dumb to you. We know he had surgeries. My question spoke more to the mechanisms that cause one to lose physical ability after a back surgery.
Aaron's surgeon, Dr. Neil ElAttrache, used a major new innovative technique in achilles repair with the minimally invasive Midsubstance SpeedBridge™ implant system. With this repair and Aaron's aggressive rehab, we might be witness to a new more rapid and improved method to repair injuries like this. We'll see
Hey Dr Sutterer, there's an audio issue in this video where we can hear some static and crackling. Some other commenters have noticed too. It's not present in other videos of yours so it may be due to adding in the broadcast audio of the Jets game in this one.
I think this is a ploy by both Rodgers and the front office to try and keep the team relevant. It keeps the fans interested in the team, giving them some kind of hope that he could come back and somehow save the season. I don’t think there’s any chance he plays this year. There’s just too much risk in rushing him back so soon.
Exactly my thoughts
Jets aren’t gonna make the playoffs so this is all moot.
Brian, I'd love a deep dive into what stem cell therapy can do to potentially speed these things up. I know there's a lot of random information about that, but it makes me wonder.
Yes, Dr Sutter is right, but what he sort of glossed over is that Aaron Rodgers had a new / somewhat experimental surgery, in order to see if he could play this season or some point in the playoffs. Rodgers saw Dr. Neal ElAttrache who placed a speed bridge aka an internal brace in the Achillies, to help the injury heal faster.
Has a packer fan born and raised in Madison Wisconsin. It is amazing of Aaron Rodgers recovery and how quick he wants to get this done. If I have to be honest he's not going to come back in mid-December it's impossible plus Aaron Rodgers is a smart guy and it just seems crazy he's going to risk everything for his hard work. Even if you have the best doctor and the best treatment out there you still don't want to take the risk of this kind of injury. If I was him I'll just wait until next season and the show everyone will let me rephrase that to prove everyone that he still has it and to get that one last super bowl that he needs to get because if he gets that one last super bowl he'll be named one of the greats or even the best quarterback in NFL history and even if he doesn't get another super bowl I think he's still in that condenser...✍️✝️❤️🕊️🙏🏈
rogers returning so fast is not going to work for almost any other players. he has a very limited amount of football left, does not rely on being able to run, and can play around any loss in mobility. very few nfl guys can do that.
It might not even work for Rodgers either.
true but there ain't no risk really. his career already set. if this fails, he can just retire and still be hof qb@@LuckySmurf
I just returned to work after I ruptured my achilles back in June from playing basketball. I started running again on Sept. 27th! It was a tough process in the beginning and a injury that I consistently worked on everyday 3 times a day to get better while doing PT twice a week. He has the resources and money to get himself back on the field but It does seem little unrealistic as far as time frame. Ill be keeping track on his progressing. ReRupturing it would be devastating mentality and the doctors told me the same thing to not stretch the Achilles to fast if i wanted to get my strength back to normal or almost normal
Thank you for continuing to cover this story. It's fascinating but as someone who has torn their left achilles 3x, I am optimistic for his recovery but also extremely concerned about the overall healing of the entire lower leg. We'll see how far he can take it.
howd you tear it 3x? Going back to similar exercise as prior tears when injury occurred or was each tear a freak accident
Anyone else getting feedback from the mic? From Doctor to Doctor - love the content!
Rodgers who has shown during Covid times how much he listens and cares for Doctor´s advices.
I wonder how he would feel if a Doctor would tell him how to read defenses.
Calm down Mr. Phizer.
Still drinking the Kool aide I see. We had 400,000 excess deaths in the US last year. We'll have about the same this year. I've lost three friends in a year and a half.
Plenty of doctors were against the shot. Get over yourself.
@@Ryan-wx1biand they were also censored heavily by social media.
Great video. I agree 100% with why Rodgers is trying to do this. Like you said, he's never been an extremely mobile QB, so losing a little strength isn't a huge deal. He's almost 40. It's not like he's got much longer left to play where it will be a big deal. If you're 25-30 with a long career ahead of you, you likely want that tendon to heal to 100%.
Finally, I think Rodgers sees this team as being very good, just missing a QB, and he thinks they can make a run.
Rodgers has always been a very mobile QB. He’s never been a running QB but most of his success when he was younger especially came from outside the pocket. He’s the most lethal and accurate QB outside of the pocket in NFL history..
Saying Rodgers has never been an extremely mobile QB is wild lol. Half of his career was basically scramble drills
So, he should risk the last year or 2 of his career to help a team that has many other flaws and has a less than 1%chance of actually winning a Super Bowl this year? I could understand if the Jets were playing good and literally needed him for a deep playoff run but even IF they won 3 out of their next 4 games, they would still need to win out just to get in and then win 3 games on the road in the playoffs just to get to the Super Bowl. I don't get the risk/reward for him at this point, knowing what type of team he would be coming back to.
Horrible analysis..not mobile?? Hahaha very easy to retear with his style
Morning Dr I am Hephzebah Ministries, I was a help here in USA healer in the church. As a healer my position is to see the one needing laying on of hand,this is a type of physical touch for target of damage or pain. When I am not seen by the individual then breach is what happens to take healing care out of me for a small time. During the time healing is being taken focus on the part of the thief is active,once their focus is drained out or taken the individual will return to the damage or pain condition as before. Thanks
Remember Rod Woodson tore his ACL in game 1 in ‘95 and he came back and played meaningful snaps at CB in the Super Bowl that same season.
I would like your comments on a couple of aspects of Aaron's specific process and procedure. You mentioned the tendons having sufficient time to be fully healed and reconnected, but you didn't mention Dr. ElAttrache's "speed bridge" procedure. Doesn't this strengthen that connection while everything else is healing around it? Also, is it possible to accelerate the healing of the ligaments and tissues by taking collagen or other natural supplements that could potentially speed up the natural healing process? I agree with another commenter that Aaron's goal to return by December, may be to be back at practice, but not game ready. It could take him a couple more weeks to see him in a game if everything goes right.
I tore my achilles in February 2020 and played my first football match (or soccer in America) 3 months after. But I had surgery at WAZD, leading hospital worldwide for achilles surgeries.
Yeah pro-athletes definitely don't have on par or better.
7:10ish you talk about his Achilles repair but that’s not what he had done, he did the speed flex which has bands pulled through it and drilled into the heel area.
I looked into because my son just had to have an mpfl reconstruction done about 10 weeks ago and was curious about the similarities and differences of the two surgeries
Sos el #1 hermano! Best explanations ever, love your channel doc! ❤
Why didn't you discuss the role of the speed bridge used in this surgery when repairiing/reconnecting the Achilles ? Seems like another important part of the discussion. How does that affect the healing tiime? How does that allow him to put more stress on the injury earlier in the rehab process? Is he potentially hoping to leverage the stability the bridge provides to return early and what are the potential consequences both positive and negative. I would love more nuanced insight from a professional on this exact situation because I don't have that knowledge myself but have all kinds of questions.
He's tried to speak things into existence in the past that didn't happen.
He spoke the packers into the playoffs multiple times when written off by the media. He’s doing just fine it seems. You sound bitter. What are you referring to that he “tried to speak into existence”? Do you think he shouldn’t have a positive attitude and mindset when he is up against a proverbial wall and the odds are stacked against him? Just cuz you would throw in the towel doesn’t mean he would.
@@cryptalsmo1649 Longer version: I think he's the greatest of all time, as controversial as that is.. I just don't believe in speaking things into existence and wonder if that might be what he's trying to do here. He tried to speak a playoff win into existence and it didn't work. That's much different than just confidence. I hope he is able to play with full ability this December though. It would be amazing.
Thanks for the video.
Does that treadmill work by increasing the air pressure in the lower area where the person's legs are? I think that's what you said, but I wasn't sure. If so, is there any risk of "the bends" from subjecting the legs to increased air pressure for some period of time and then going back to atmospheric pressure quickly? A part of my brain thinks that nitrogen may be forced into the legs from the high pressure and that a sudden release of that pressure could lead to bubbles forming and causing those symptoms. Another part of my brain thinks that the upper part of the body and the lungs being at atmospheric pressure would cause nitrogen to be released too much to build up anywhere. Which part is right?
Are you familiar with PEMF therapy? I've heard of athletes using this kind of therapy to recover more quickly from certain kinds of injuries. While I don't believe that this therapy would change a twelve month recovery to a three month recovery, I wonder whether this would help an athlete make a fuller recovery in twelve months. I wonder whether that or any similar therapy done regularly would give an athlete (or anyone else) healthier ligaments and tendons that would be less prone to injury.
Thoughts on Vita Vea's injury and return from his injury a couple years ago.? He returned in the same year with the same injury and he's like 350 lbs
As a Packers fan, I saw this coming 😂 the man has a football itch and he's dying to scratch it. Still wish him all the best but I really hope he's not overdoing it.
I’m a Jets fan and I think he’s crazy for thinking about coming back this year. The offensive line is awful and he will most likely get hurt again. This year is a bust. Get strong and come back better next year.
I like your video, however.
Please look into microphone settings/alternatives, with volume over 50% I can hear the static feedback noise from the connector/audio processing you use.
My question is, how do you get your Digital video to sound like a 1978 late night info mercial when the rabbit ears fell on.the ground? Impressive
Go ahead, rush back, tank Jets oppurtunity at a higher draft pick, and weaken your Achilles heel insert so it’s primed for a second and possible career ending tear. Sounds about right for this guy and the Jets
He's not the kind of guy who will listen to medical science.
But Brian, don't you know? Aaron is always the smartest guy in the room. He knows far more than any doctor.
He was right about the vaccine. I’m confident that you weren’t.
And I’m confident that you were wrong about COVID in general. Despite…you know…”all the doctors” saying that it came from nature, or was a threat to children and ordinary healthy people…
@@AdamKlownzinger Yawn.
I really like the way you present your videos
If Rodgers comes back in December, I'm sure he'll be throwing a lot of timing passes of less than 3 seconds after the snap. He'll also rely on Breece Hall a lot in the running game.
Week 14 HOU
Week 15 @MIA
Week 16 WAS
Week 17 @CLE
Haven't yet watched and know that YEAH, He's still nuts!
I think it's very possible he will be way ahead of schedule, but are they really going to put him out there in an NFL game? Being able to run and function is one thing, going all out against professional athletes is another level. I would think the risk to re-injure far out weighs the reward.
Finally !!! I was expecting this video for a long time, since we started to seen Aaron rodgers move like that
Good video, but there is some static in the background you'll want to fix for future videos.
weird mic audio from you?
Yea idk what happened..sorry..subtitles I guess
Rodgers does not have the offensive line to take this kind of chance on his future, not just in sports, but as a human being. Zach Wilson barely gets 2 seconds to pass. This is not going to end well for him
One thing that *can* increase the speed of collagen synthesis (so at least theoretically, tendon repair) is exogenous hGH. Knowing Rogers, I would not be surprised if that was being employed. Still, quite the accelerated timeline.
I have had success with a Cold Laser. Takes the pain out w/frequency's that heal the tendon. Pernitrates the skin and goes to the tendon. 20-30 minutes, once or twice a day.
A must to look into, if they are not using it already
I can’t help but ask you, if Aaron Rodger’s watches this video, will he reconsider waiting longer until his tendon is healed?
My guess: he will call him woke and Aaron listens to Aaron
Rodger’s own doctors are probably telling him the same thing. He is likely just stubborn.
He definitely won't but he is kinda petty so if he sees this. He will most likely bring it up on the Pat Mcafee show
ARod is extremely intelligent man. He takes all information in and makes his decisions on that like we all do.
You have to remember, Aaron is also a leader, and a lot of his comments are for the 53 guys in that locker room.
When you go to battle like these dudes do, they know that every win they get is important.
Even if Rodgers is thinking in his own head it will be more like the very end of the season. Like last game and playoffs if they squeeze in. I think a lot of his comments are to his team, stay in it as long as possible and if you get to the end and we have a chance I will play.
I support you Aaron. Go be great! 💪🏽.
Got a question?
This weight reducing treadmill, can I jog on this without the up and down impact on my lower spine ? I have 2 bilateral herniated disks at L4 and L5 with DJD.
Hey doc, love your work. Something is wrong with your mic/audio
Aaron is addicted to attention and afraid of irrelevancy. He's a legend in his own mind.
What if he never really got hurt, and this is all a stunt…
It is a stunt. There are videos to prove it
@@jplaza7210This TH-cam channel posted a video directly after the injury successfully diagnosing it just from looking at the video before the injury was announced. If the injury is fake then this guy is in on it.
Hmm, when a massive window fell on my leg at work… the PT that workers comp sent me to didn’t happen to have any of those treadmills available 😂
Great video, but seemed to have a background hissing/cracking sound through the entire video, just a FYI. Could Stem Cells help recovery go faster?
I tore my Achilles, had surgery and was able to start running in 12 weeks. Before the in jury i was running 5 minute miles and when I started running i was only running 8:30 a mile
Today’s Audio is a bit off but I agree with everything you’ve said
I'd err on the side of caution. So many people have tried to come back sooner than usual from ACL's and either retorn them or torn something else because they were compensating for a less than totally healed ligament. I think with Achilles tendons you can see the same scenario. It has to feel 100%.
Lions fan here. What about CJ the pectoral muscle tear. What is his timeline for return? His injury was on September 17? Great video thanks.
Thank you. As a fan of the player and the team ( 40 year fan by the way ) I am hopeful that your clear and logical "warning" with regard to the natural metabolic variables in this process, is Headed by an otherwise very foolish Administration, ( and I respect much of what they've done) and by that I mean careless handling of the team, post injury in game one. They NEED to protect Rogers from another injury and fortify the obvious weaknesses in the offense before he steps back out there. Thank you
I know a podiatrist/ foot and ankle surgeon who said with that type of Achilles injury, for a person of Rodgers age it would take at least a year or so before he was able to safely return and use his ankle movements necessary on a football field. Anytime sooner would be a huge risk of permanent injuries.
For an any Joe. Sure. Not the case with Rodgers. Drs also used to say an Achilles injury was career ending. Drs who aren’t in the cutting edge of research wouldn’t know what could be possible. They just known what has been possible.
Brian, how does a doctor know if he’s dealing with an outlier like AP ?
ACL protocol is “x,” what makes a doctor feel confident in situations outside of the protocol?
I appreciate the content but hate how poor the mic quality was during this. Sorry for the criticism but I hope you’re able to improve on this in the future and I thank you for the perspective on Rodgers’ injury though.
