#258 Pushing the Boundaries in SCI Rehab with Maurice-Andre Iseli PT 2

In Part 2 of our conversation with Maurice Andre, we continue exploring his extraordinary recovery journey after a spinal cord injury—this time with a focus on the power of teamwork, long-term commitment, and the support systems that fuel progress.

Maurice shares personal stories from his rehabilitation, reflecting on the mental discipline required to push past setbacks and redefine his limits. He opens up about the crucial role his family played, the value of intensive therapy, and the cultural differences he encountered in approaches to physical rehab. We also dive into adaptive mobility, outdoor training, and competitive racing as key motivators in his journey. Maurice describes the emotional moment of taking his first steps again and how that breakthrough deepened his drive to inspire others in the SCI community.
