In the very first episode of ‘Be Reel’, season one of UNAWARE with Be Physiology, Harry and Aj break down their experiences working with spinal cord injury. The guys compare and contrast their understanding of spinal cord injury using the film ‘Penguin Bloom’, released in 2021 and starring Naomi Watts. Penguin Bloom portrays the true story of Samantha Bloom, who after a freak SCI accident in Thailand, suffers a T6 spinal cord lesion.

 

This episode breaks down what spinal cord injury is, injury classifications, post-injury hospital rehabilitation and release, professional relationships with SCI clients, and of course, typical exercise goals and treatment!
