Anyone who has been injured or had surgery knows the physical pain and daily obstacles that come with recovery but what about the emotional roller coaster that comes with it? What about the stuff the doctors and physical therapists don’t always cover?
What about the topics the doctors and physical therapists don’t always talk about but the patients care about?
Join physical therapist Margi Heie and professional patient Ari King as they host conversations with real patients about the surgery, physical therapy and extensive range of emotions we go through on the winding path to recovery, healing and getting through this thing called life.
