For Lavery, the only alternatives to taking pain medication were yoga, meditation and dancing! Thousands of people wrote in to to cheer him on and to thank him for the inspiration.
Now see it for yourself and just try not to smile!
It's that time of the year for the Lets Move Challenge. Dancing is how I stay warm in the barn and I never know when I'm going to break out into a dance. But what most people don't know is that 15 years ago I had a traumatic back injury that caused me to have several back surgeries including a discectomy and a spinal fusion and never ending back pain. Dancing along with yoga and meditation are my only alternatives to pain medication. So I hope this can inspire anyone to move in spite of pain and I hope this puts a smile on your face for the New Year.
