Rebuilding After Trauma – Powerful Rehab Insights with Dr Vijay Kolli Steel Bones Amputee Pod

In this inspiring episode, we’re joined by Dr Vijay Kolli, Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, to explore the physical and emotional journey of rehabilitation after trauma.

Dr Kohli shares practical, compassionate advice for anyone navigating recovery, from newly injured individuals to long-term survivors. His deep clinical insight and human-centred approach shine through as he encourages listeners to tune into their own expertise, stay hopeful, and lean into the process.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• “Find your motivation” – your personal 'why' can be a powerful fuel for recovery.
• “We are our own experts” – trust your instincts and lived experience.
• Rehab is not linear – and that’s okay.
• Build the right team around you – medical, emotional, and community support.
• Celebrate every small win – they’re stepping stones, not footnotes.
• Invest in YOU

This is a must-listen for anyone facing a major life adjustment, their families, or professionals supporting recovery journeys.
