Dean experienced a life changing injury that created both a physical injury and a psychological and emotional trauma. Dean struggled with these life changing circumstances until he discovered cold therapy. A meaningless “knock” during a game of rugby turned into a ruptured disk. The subsequent back operation didn’t go to plan, and Dean was in constant pain. A further series of operations, infections, weeks in hospital followed.
With his body in pain, Dean took more and more painkillers including morphine based painkillers. He was also self-prescribing large doses of alcohol and recreational drugs. This was his darkest time.
From that low, which lasted several years, Dean was able to turn his life around with the aid of cold therapy. Dean’s current path of self-development, mindfulness, healthy eating, deep breathing and exercise are all based on the foundation of cold therapy, and this has helped him pull through the other side.
