Episode 12: Celebrating Resilience with Spinal Champion Rafael R.

In the final 'Get Back To It' podcast episode of 2020, Spinal Champion, Rafael R., sits down with our CEO, Dr. Rita Roy, to discuss how he intentionally trained prior to having spine surgery. As a long-time athlete, Rafael had an attitude of resilience that carried him not only through his own surgery and journey back to the things he loved doing (including running half-marathons!), but also led him to encourage other spine patients he met through online support groups. For a final dose of inspiration perfect to kick off 2021, tune in and give Rafael's story a listen!
