Walking Again

[jenniferalan]

Hi,

I have this friend who stopped doing his physiotherapy because he was too depressed to do anything. He had a car crash which injured his legs but also killed his mother and his father lost his job.
He hasn't gone back to his physiotherapy program for a year now and is still confined to a wheelchair.
Is it possible that he could walk again if he starts physiotherapy now or in the next 2 years?
Thank you.

Thanks for your post. Unfortunately we have no idea of this individuals medical history or current physical issues. This means we cannot add any useful comment on that front. I do feel that perhaps some form of counseling (continued or otherwise) may be an important factor/first step towards progress. The individual needs to want to do the rehab. Pushing them is not the answer.
