410. She Was Told She'd Never Walk Again — Her PT Proved Them Wrong | Dr. Kory Langwell

A doctor ran a reflex test and told the patient they would never walk again. That same day, a physical therapist walked in, and the patient walked 70 feet. Dr. Kory Langwell is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 15 years of experience helping stroke survivors recover at home and online. In this episode, we break down what physical therapists know about walking after stroke that most doctors don't, including why the therapy gap after hospital discharge stalls so many survivors, what the "plateau" label really means, and how to keep making progress years or even decades post-stroke.
