Recovery journeys are unique to each individual, as not all patients are alike or experience the same way. The healing process is shaped not only by the nature of the root cause of the pain but also by the quality of care provided. Life's challenges often strike unexpectedly, catching us off guard. Charles Clark, once celebrated as one of the world's fastest men, faced such adversity at a young age. With national victories and participation in global championships, he stood on the brink of a promising career until a career-ending injury shattered his dreams, leaving him feeling purposeless. This sense of loss is a common struggle for many individuals post-injury as well as those who may deal with pain daily.
However, Charles came to realize that his adversity could be the catalyst for his greatest purpose yet: using his story to inspire and support those worldwide who shared his feelings and providing a patient's perspective on how providers can take ownership and play a key part of their patients' return to life. Discover the alternative approaches Charles and his clinical team employed to manage his pain, overcome his pain, regain control of his life, and navigate the healing journey.
Learn what helped Charles get back into the driver's seat of his life and get mentally well using self-therapy techniques.
