Summary

We're continuing our Motus Nova series with Dr. Nick Housley, the medical mind behind this innovative company helping stroke and brain injury survivors revolutionize their recovery at home. Especially with it being National Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month, Joe talks with Dr. Nick about how Motus Nova not only works for stroke survivors but many different types of brain injury survivors including aneurysms. They talk about the benefits of extended care at home, and their big goal is to help brain injury survivors expand their recovery beyond traditional physical therapy. Plus they dive into Dr. Nick's background as a cyclist and how being a brain injury survivor himself deepened his passion for PT and neuroscience. If you're a brain injury survivor, let us know your recovery stories. Please share on our socials!
