Editorial Reviews

Review

This is not normally the type of book I would read but WOW I'm so glad I did. Your story brought tears to my eyes and your journey has been amazing.
-Charlie Bell, Author of Your Most Amazing Day Yet ★★★★★

For the readers, this is a must read since it will provide a different perspective than most books, telling a story like untold before.
--Anonymous ★★★★★

The reader will feel each moment of frustration when he fails and joy when he finally takes those first steps. The author's message is simple: find what motivates you, learn to accept changes will take time, and do not be afraid to push your body.
--Judy K ★★★★★

The unique selling point of this book is the author himself. "How can you write an article about relearning to walk if you have never relearned to walk?" Nothing in this book is based on research done in lab conditions by people who don't know what it feels like to be in a wheelchair. Everything mentioned in the book is something that Siofer has personally gone through, tried, and tested.
--Literary Titan ★★★★★

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Inspiring Comeback story followed by perfect home exercises with pics
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023

Book starts out with an amazing story of a comeback, however I was impressed myself even more with the numerous exercises and detailed pictures in the second half of the book of what he had to go through in rehabilitation. This second half of the book is well worth any price charged for it, going through this is extremely difficult, I have had hemiparesis after a gunshot to the Head myself and have had a long road back so I can relate to a lot of this especially balance exercises as I deal with spasticity too, and I am very impressed and will share and recommend this with people. Thank you, Leon at TBIliving.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable comeback story that can inspire anyone
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is a really well-told story that will keep you flipping the pages and wanting to know what will happen next, especially in the beginning chapters.

The unexpected disease is something that could happen to anyone. And what a terrible disease it was that the author comes down with. I couldn't imagine being in a situation like that. To see how lucky he was to survive it and then come back, do the rehab and get out of the wheelchair is really amazing. It definitely makes you realize the potential all of us have.

You can also gain an appreciation for things that many of us take for granted, by reading this book. The author talks about how he found joy in the little things, like his first sip of coffee after his surgeries (a funny, heartwarming story) and the sunshine on his face during his hospital recovery.

Great book whether you're in a wheelchair or not.

I cannot imagine how hard it would have been to go through something so devastating, but then to relive it all while sharing it with the world. Truly a great story of overcoming even the hardest of events, and never giving up hope.

The media could not be loaded.
 I liked how the author explained in detail the exercises he used to get back on his feet and begin walking.
I have a brother who is disabled due to a series of strokes and the exercises described in this book has helped my brother get back on his feet.
I liked the descriptive photos with the corresponding exercises that outlines each exercise given from someone who has been there. The personal story is also interesting and enlightening from the author’s perspective. I recommend this book to everyone from therapists to family members of persons dealing with balance problems affecting the ability to walk.

I highly recommend reading this book. It tells a story how the author got in this predicament, the odds stacked against him, the struggles, the recovery and his physical and emotional perseverance to get through it all. His events are well detailed and people who are going through similar illness and setbacks are encouraged to read his physical therapy recommendations. Great book.
