"Never, never give up."  Winston Churchill

"We are plastic until we die."  Carol Kennedy

"Plasticity" refers to our body's capacity to adapt, and ultimately overcome all measures of pain and dysfunction...from the tiniest neurons in our brains, to the capillaries that circulate blood...to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints that move us. I have seen some truly miraculous recoveries from debilitating injuries, disease and trauma of all kinds...and often it came from the person's belief that they could, and would, overcome.
