On May 28th, 2017 I was a fit, athletic, healthy husband and father of two small children. That evening, I was hit by an inattentive driver while out for a ride on my motorcycle.
I spent 14 days clinging to life in the ICU and another five months in the Trauma Unit, a respite care home, and the Ottawa Rehabilitation Center.I sustained over 20 serious injuries, several of which were life-threatening. I broke every bone in my face, separating the face completely from the skull, had an open book pelvic fracture, destroyed every ligament surrounding my right knee, broke my spine in 2 places, broken wrist and ribs, torn and obliterated ligaments in both hands and both ankles, just to name a few.
I was non-weight bearing and in a wheelchair for 5 months. When I finally returned home, I did my research to find an entire army of the best professionals in their respective fields who would help me in my recovery.
I chose Simon at Plyomax based on his credentials, the testimonials and reviews. I knew that Simon had a background which would enable him to train me properly while taking into consideration all my medical limitations. He was on board from day one and has been so flexible, having to work around my surgeries, many other appointments, and pain crises. I was provided a meal plan and goals and a schedule.
In 6 months, Simon and his incredibly attentive and knowledgeable team have helped me regain all of my lost mass – which was over 40 pounds – and have helped me regain function, strength, mobility, agility and have done so in such a way as to not aggravate any of my injuries.
This is rehabilitative training at its finest and there is not a team in the world I would trust more than Simon and his with Plyomax Training for my fitness and rehabilitative needs. I owe my incredible recovery to this team and would challenge anyone who thinks they can’t, or the pain is too great, or they’ll “never again”, to meet with Simon and his team and allow them to show you what they can do and more importantly, what YOU can do. My success is a direct result of their hard work and dedication to my recovery and I am extremely grateful for them – Chris
