About this listen

In this follow-up episode of Brain Injury Bites, Brooke Trotter and Ashwini Kamath continue their conversation with neurological physiotherapist Colin Green as they explore the longer-term realities of recovery, motivation and finding movement that works.

Colin unpacks what makes rehabilitation stick beyond the hospital and why success often depends less on routines and more on relationships, creativity and meaning. From support workers to ski slopes, he shares the power of tailored, activity-led rehabilitation in keeping people engaged and progressing.

They discuss:

  • How poor habits form during the sub acute phase and how to interrupt them early
  • The role of therapeutic alliance in keeping clients motivated and consistent
  • Why exercise sheets often fail and what to offer instead
  • Adaptive sports, functional goals and why enjoyment matters
  • The emotional challenges of redefining success including life in a wheelchair
  • Innovative equipment like the AlterG treadmill, Mollii suits and functional electrical stimulation
  • How to build goals that adapt as clients grow and change

Whether you are in rehabilitation, supporting someone who is or working in neuro care, this episode offers insight, humour and hope with a few lessons about tangerines along the way.
