Will was mountain climbing with a girl he was dating when he fell 50 feet down and landed on both of his feet. He heard his legs snap immediately and put his hands out behind to brace himself, breaking his arms in the process, and ending up crumpled in a bush. He will never forget that day, Friday the 13th, 1993. All in all, small bones included, he broke over twenty bones and had eight surgeries. With both arms and legs broken and lying there in bed for hours on end, Will shares it was a dark time for him, until one day, his home health therapist arrived. Will recounts his physical therapy journey and how his therapist shifted everything and never gave up on him. The idea that physical therapy has so much more to do with connecting to an individual and improving their emotional well-being through the physical well-being was what got Will into it.
