The Plastic Brain

Andrew Short, who lives with cerebral palsy, and his trainer Lee, are applying the concept of neuroplasticity – that the brain can change – to overcome his disability.

Andy has a phenomenal attitude – he has gone from thinking the world would be better off without him to a man who is ticking off serious physical challenges, one by one.

His father said they were looking for a vision that went beyond improving his strength and they have found it. This is well worth a watch. In the words of his trainer Lee, “wow, how amazing is this guy?”

His physical capacity has improved from 2.5 out of 10, to a solid 7.
