Ronnie Coleman received treatment in Abu Dhabi during a recent health update.
Ronnie Coleman put together a legendary bodybuilding career. His work on stage led to many titles and it also came with health issues that he has dealt with in retirement. Coleman has kept fans up to date with his treatments and recently shared another video during his trip to the MAD Recovery Center in Abu Dhabi.
Coleman battled it out with some of the all-time greats during his reign as Olympia champion. He won eight-consecutive titles from 1998-2005, which is tied for the most wins of all-time with Lee Haney. In retirement, he has remained active in the gym and has also had to deal with health issues.
Coleman has gone through multiple surgeries to repair injuries to his back, neck, and hips. During his career off stage, Coleman has been working to walk again unassisted and this is why he went to visit Amr Ismail at his recovery center.
Ronnie Coleman Gives Recent Health Update
Ronnie Coleman took to YouTube to share his recent health update and trip to the recovery center. The process began with scraping the muscles to loosen them up before being exposed to red light. Ismail explained the effect of red light to the body.
“A lot of people don’t understand that red light is a. nutrient that, more or less, feeds your cells. So, something that’s restricted, lacks blood flow, tissue quality, or in general the quality of cells in that area, if they’re a little bit dysfunctional or lacking, this is like a nice boost for them.”

Ismail continued to explain how red light cars as a “stimulant” to energy factories in the body. This is known as the mitochondria and the health of this area can impact the health of the body.
Red light therapy was followed by acupuncture and cryotherapy.
“I prefer nitrogen-based over water-based. It’s less of a shock. You get better anti-oxidant secretions, which is what we need to keep the tissue health and fight off inflammation.”
The video ended with Ronnie Coleman advertising the recovery center to those who are going through something similar.
“I want to highly recommend anybody that’s going through what I’m going through, Mad Recovery Center is the place to be.
This is my good friend, Amir, and he performed some real good techniques on me that made me feel a whole lot better.”
