Ryan Papenhuyzen heads to US to continue rehab
Ryan Papenhuyzen has travelled to the United States to continue rehabilitation of his fractured kneecap. He will spend two weeks with Bill Knowles. Knowles specialises in developing and implementing reconditioning strategies for athletes following injury
“This is an opportunity to progress my rehab,” Papenhuyzen said.
“I don’t want to go into this with any expectations. I just want to go in and do my best and see how I come out after that.
‘I’ll be learning new things, knowing it’s going to be tough.
“I’ve jumped at the opportunity. I like to do these type of things that are a little bit different.
“Once Lachie mentioned it as a possibility, we went pretty hard to make sure it was going to happen. A big thanks goes to everyone at the club and to our sponsor Grill’d for supporting the trip.
“I’ve got work to do to get back to where I want to be. I know I still have a long way to go.”
“My time will come I think. It’s just about getting through these parts of the process now,” he said.
“It’s a journey but any career is a bit of a journey.
“If I experience these hardships now, hopefully I get a bit of luck at the end of (my career). It’s all part of it.”
