Finding Strength Podcast

Finding Strength: The Spaulding Rehabilitation Podcast is a platform to bring together voices in the rehabilitation community. Monthly episodes will be inspired by research conducted out of the Spaulding Research Institute and stories from people with lived experiences. We aim to show how research has real meaning for real people.

We strive to make our content accessible to all people. For those with hearing impairments, transcripts are available on each episode page.
