In this episode, I talk to Garrett Batty who is a Film Producer/Director. He has an amazing story of perseverance through challenges related to scoliosis. Garrett was born with a condition called Tetralogy of Fallot resulting in multiple surgeries. He was also born with scoliosis which progressed to where he needed scoliosis correction surgery as a teen. During this surgery, he was paralyzed because of a spinal cord injury. This is a very rare complication of scoliosis surgery. Even though his doctors told him he would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he decided to push through and eventually walked out of the hospital 40 days later. Since that surgery he has still had some issues with weakness and limping and recently was seen in my office for treatment involving the Schroth Method for scoliosis. He has seen some awesome results from this and has worked hard to improve his back. This is a great episode for anyone who has challenges that they feel "limit" them. He shows a great determination to overcome obstacles. His advice to all who listen to this episode is to not limit yourself. You care capable of so much more than you think.
