Welcome to Hello IronMan

This site follows one patient’s experience to illustrate how small, consistent strength work and thoughtful recovery decisions can change the course of a serious back injury. It’s not a prescription, and it’s not medical advice. It’s an honest record of what was tried, what helped, what didn’t, and what it felt like along the way—shared in the hope that it might give you ideas, language, or courage for your own conversations with your care team.
