Ryan Shazier dances with his wife at his wedding

It’s been a long, hard road for Ryan Shazier after suffering a life-altering spinal injury in December of 2017. I remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach as he was laying there on the turf – writhing in pain and reaching for his back.

The road to recovery has been anything but easy. Though he’s a long way from how he was before the injury, Ryan Shazier has made great strides on the road to recovery. Every so often, Shazier will post a video of himself. It started with him walking with some assistance and progressed to upper body workouts and more.
