A skydiving accident at 12,000 feet broke Andre Rice’s pelvis, fractured his sacrum, and caused internal bleeding. If treating this “open book” injury is a tall order under normal conditions it becomes more challenging when in-clinic care is unavailable.

Rice’s extensive physical therapy regimen began in 2018 and has been interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This segment highlights the therapist-facilitated remote rehab program that Rice is following. Watch the video here.
