Meet Mark.

38 years ago, Mark suffered a motor vehicle accident which resulted in a severe brain injury, leaving him unable to walk or do many tasks of daily living and in excruciating pain.

Thanks to many years of rehabilitation, Mark has made an inspiring recovery; a lot of which he puts down to exercise, specifically his pain management and decrease in falls, as well as the mental health benefits.

Mark shares his exercise journey with us and how working with his Accredited Exercise Physiologists at Bulbuwil Healthy Living has changed his life.
