Ep. 19: Zach for ReWalk
“It’s better to walk a thousand miles than to read a thousand books.” - Chinese Proverb
ReWalk Robotics is an incredible company that makes exoskeletons for people who can no longer walk due to complications with their health. Hear from the guru himself, Zachary Waugh, on how he became a professional with the company and a man forever changed and inspired by it. Push Diaries Podcast thanks ReWalk for letting us borrow Zach for the duration of this episode! Many many many thanks to Zach for sharing all of his passion, insight, and time with us! It is physical therapists and engineers like him who make the accessibility and understanding of this technology readily available! Thank you!
