Ep. 113: Healing Movements - Vinny Crispino

When a rouge wave threw Vinny Crispino from his surfboard and crushed him against a rock, it took him a few seconds to realize he could no longer feel his leg. He made it to shore, but he discovered he had broken his back.He still had use of his legs, but the doctors said the only option was to fuse his spine and that he'd never surf or run again. They told him his only other option was to be confined to a wheelchair.Vinny decided to look for other options that didn't end with him being immobile for life. He went for years and tried all kinds of alternative treatments. He was able to walk, but  walking was always painful. Then he met a man who was a bodyworker. After the first session, Vinny realized it was the first time in years he'd been able to move without pain.  He continued learning how to move his body and made a full recovery.Now Vinny is training for a fifty-mile ultramarathon trail race. And he started the Pain Academy, teaching others how to relieve pain through natural movements.
