Amplified Agility -- The Journey Back: Can Spinal Cord Injuries Be Healed?

New Hope on the Horizon

Up until recently, the thought of witnessing someone with a cervical spine injury walking again has been something only seen in fantasy or science fiction movies. Even those with partial paralysis (from the legs down, for instance), have been resigned to the fact that their wheelchair would be their only means of mobility for the rest of their lives. But something amazing is happening, something that is neither from the movies or simply a hopeful dream.

More people are “defying the odds”. And over the past 25 plus years, Dr. Peter Lathrop, a neuro-physiologist (Ph.D.in Neuro-physiology) and a Psychotherapist (Master’s Degree in Psychology) in La Jolla, California, has developed and continued to improve upon a paralysis and spinal cord injury recovery program that actually helps individuals regain significant sensory and motor functions. And even better, it has helped many people to ultimately become more mobile, if not walk again.
