Long road to recovery for spinal injuries but exercise may hold the key

Mark Tonga attained a level C3 complete tetraplegia spinal injury during a rugby training incident 6 years ago. It’s been an uphill battle ever since. But through an intense exercise regime and a dedicated support team, there may be light at the end of the tunnel. A unique electrical discharge machine (EDM) is giving hope to people with spinal injuries to aid in recovery.
