In February of 1992, John then faced his own life changing injury when he broke his neck while training for a triathlon. A vertebrae fusion with hardware, halo brace and years of therapy brought about his recovery. "The injury gave me a better understanding of rehabilitation and what my clients face".

In 1994 through 2000, John became involved in the training and education of doctors in the State of Florida. Physicians are required to take a mandatory 5-hour training course in order to provide care for State of Florida’s Workers Compensation patients.  John trained over 300 individual doctors through out the State of Florida during this time frame.
