About the book
The inspirational story of how a rehabilitation doctor overcame her devastating spinal injury with faith and determination, and changed her life and practice as a result.
In September 2008, Dr Olivia Ong was struck by a car and suffered a catastrophic spinal injury. Her prognosis was devastating - she would never walk again. The future she had envisioned - practising medicine, having children and sharing life's simple joys with her husband, family and friends - seemed to slip away.
Yet, as Olivia adapted to life as a long-term patient, a new perspective emerged, and she would challenge not only the limitations placed on her body but also the very mindset of rehabilitative care.
What followed was an extraordinary journey of resilience, requiring years of intensive physical therapy, unwavering self-belief, and the relentless support of her loved ones. Against the odds, Olivia regained the ability to walk and returned to medicine, specialising in rehabilitation and pain management.
Olivia also discovered something profound as she transformed in heart and mind: self-compassion. This newfound empathy didn't only make her stronger, it made her a better doctor and human being, who truly understood and valued the process of healing.
Back On My Feet is for anyone facing adversity, anyone searching for hope and anyone who loves a powerful, inspirational story of perseverance.
