Rehab: Impossible - Part 1
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Our two-part Movement Podcast season finale kicks off this week with the remarkable story of Steve Cairns.
Steve suffered a stroke and had brain stem surgery in the spring of 2017. Based on his movement background, and now robbed of his ability to walk, he elected to rehab himself.

This is an inspiring story of the human spirit and how he defied all odds on his journey to recovery. To give the full story, we are presenting the season finale in two parts. This week, our own Ashley Forbis sits down with Steve to get the details of what happened.

In next week's part two, Gray and Lee continue the conversation and dive deeper into the reality of this impossible rehab, and what it may unlock for future brain injury patients.

This story is an amazing example of the power of looking at movement our way - so listen in, join the conversation, and share with anyone who needs to hear.
Now let's get going with today’s incredible episode of the movement podcast
