Servicemen and women who end up as patients at the National
Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, MD have gone to war for America and
paid a toll for freedom that can’t be erased. Some patients suffer from
post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injuries while others have
lost limbs, suffered burns, or have otherwise lost the capacity to think and
move the way they did before they went to war.
That’s why SEAL Team veteran Dr. Joe Martin, D.C., an
FA team member and chiropractor who specializes in rehabilitation from
injuries, journeyed to the NNMC where he gave an educational seminar, worked
directly with wounded warriors and provided TRX trainers to the facility.
“A lot of the wounded warriors here can’t use free weights or the
Nautilus equipment we have. Guys in wheelchairs—whoever—can use the
TRX. Anyone can,” says Joe Liptok, Deputy Director of the Marine Liaison
Office of Wounded Warriors at the NMMC. “I think it’s for
everybody, not just wounded warriors. You can hit everything with it.
It’s adaptable to every individual. I just wish I’d had the TRX
years ago.”
