Jeremy Renner’s recovery from the snowplow accident that occurred on New Year’s Day is progressing well, and he is literally making steps forward.
Renner posted a video of himself walking on an anti-gravity treadmill as part of his physical therapy on Sunday, nearly three months after the Marvel star, 52, was crushed by his snowplow as he tried to stop it from hitting his nephew. The incident occurred when Renner was attempting to prevent the snowplow from hitting his nephew. As he explains to another guy in the video, the apparatus helps him to feel “reduced weight,” which in turn allows him to feel supported when he walks. This explanation may be seen in the video.
In the video, he can be heard saying, “It’s like having a cane,” and estimated that, as a result of using the treadmill, he is only feeling “40% of my weight.” Rehab patients who are recovering from an injury or surgery, or who need to build strength and endurance while also managing a chronic health condition, can benefit from using this type of equipment, which uses anti-gravity technology to support their weight while they walk, run, and perform other movements.
The actor who plays Hawkeye has said that the accident has left him with “more than 30 fractured bones.” After the incident, he was taken to a local medical facility that is located close to his house in Nevada. According to a statement made by his representative at the time, the actor had emergency surgery to treat his injuries, which included “blunt chest damage and orthopedic problems.”
Renner is now recovering well at home and is making steady progress. In February, the Mayor of Kingstown actor said that he is working on his “mental rehabilitation too” as a result of the accident. The star, who has uploaded photographs of himself riding a stationary bike, made the statement after the accident occurred.
On Sunday, he sent a tweet in which he said, “I now have to find OTHER things to occupy my time so that my body may heal from my will.” He also included the hashtags #Mindful, #Intended, and #Recovery in the message.
