Straight-shooter Mick On Life With A Spinal Cord Injury

In this episode, we chat with straight-shooter Mick about life with a spinal cord injury. After suffering an accident at work, Mick was left with multiple injuries, the prospect of 4 months in hospital, and the need to adapt to his new life. In this motivating story, Mick gives us an insight into the highs and lows of his post-injury journey. He takes us through his personal struggles, then shares some of the best things about living with a disability (hello, premium footy seats!). From learning how to get out of bed, to the perks of jumping queues, we discuss the ins and outs of adapting to life with a physical disability.

Be Stories By Be Physiology | Season 2 of UNAWARE

Tune in to hear our amazing guests talk about their experiences of disability. Ever wondered how it feels to live with a spinal cord injury? Or what it’s like to use a wheelchair every day? Curious about how a brain injury can affect someone’s day-to-day life?

We discuss all this (and more!) in our second season of the podcast, titled ‘Be Stories’. Gain valuable insights into the world of NDIS support work, and learn what you definitely shouldn’t say to a person living with disabilities! We chat about the perks of living with disabilities (convenient parking is one of many) and discover more about the challenges our guests have faced and overcome.

We feel so privileged to be given the chance to discuss life and disability with these incredible people. Get ready for a stream of honest and eye-opening conversations – with a lot of laughs along the way!

P.S. This podcast contains a number of shameless plugs for exercise physiology, the most fantastic industry in the world. And no, of course, we’re not biased…
