MANILA, Philippines — Actor Paulo Avelino said he was recovering after he dislocated his right shoulder in a motorcycle accident.
Avelino narrated the incident in an Instagram post on Monday: “Yes, I did crash again and although it was a low side crash, unfortunately I dislocated my right shoulder for the first time (It was painful btw).”
“Tuason Racing and the event organizers immediately rushed me to the hospital where they were able to pop my shoulder back in (hurt even more) but immediately felt relief over my right shoulder,” he added.
Despite the mishap, “The General’s Daughter” actor said that he was still capable of riding a motorcycle.
“Upon checking the extent of the mobility of my shoulder I asked if I could go back to the track and after going for a few laps, Voila! I am still fully capable of riding, but definitely at a slower pace due to minimal discomfort on my right shoulder,” Avelino said.
“I was able to finish my whole CSSPH course for this year, level 3 and 4,” he added, referring to bike training center California Superbike School Philippines in Parañaque City.
The 30-year-old actor also shared his takeaway from the accident, saying “Sometimes we just have to slow down, assess what We’ve been doing wrong, swallow your pride and accept our mistakes. Then finally, come out as a better person. Full speed ahead!”
In a separate post, Avelino said hinted undergoing therapy as he tagged the handle of PACE Prehab & Recovery.
“Me thinking of the painful strengthening exercises I have to do,” Avelino wrote. /cbb
