Join us as we sit down with Olivia Ong, a pain and rehabilitation medicine physician from Australia, who shares her remarkable journey of recovery after a spinal cord injury in 2008. Once self-sufficient to a fault, Olivia found herself in a dark place, feeling alone and defeated. Her story takes a transformative turn when she discovers a center for spinal cord injury recovery in San Diego and, with the help of her trainer, Mica, takes her first steps toward a new life in 2011. Olivia discusses the profound impact of self-compassion, mindfulness, and acceptance on her recovery and how these principles have reshaped her approach to patient care.

Olivia Ong is a pain and rehabilitation medicine physician in Australia.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “The first time I walked again after a spinal cord injury.”
