@deputyrod: Day 79 of recovery from a gunshot wound as a cop. Toes in the sand for a sensory change up! #itsthateasy #rodneystrong

Monica Malterer :

Watch your left pinky toe

Katelyn :

Not silly at all!! It’s science! The texture of sand on your foot is sending new sensory signals to your brain that can help you heal and recover! Keep up the work 👏👏

Storm the Doberman :

Hey bro!! I pray for your speedy recovery. Take a moment to look up Phoenix Police Officer Tyler Moldovan. Inspiring

Bite_sized_depression :

Mix legos in there! When you’re recovered you’ll be fkn invincible

alyssa :

Sensory integration! Try different textures as well - ex satin pillow case vs rough towel vs hair comb etc

Marcus :

KEEP GOING BROTHER

Supporting from the North Pole!!!!! Keep up the hard work!!!!

Katlin :

You have made so much progress! Do whatever helps continue that, no matter if it’s “hippy” or not!

Shaina.wg :

As a nurse, I feel like this is brilliant

Epieli :

I had to do therapy like this but it was with ground up corn cobs instead of sand for some reason.

hannahbnana :

Wait, can you do this with different stuff? Like pea gravel, regular gravel, dirt, mulch, lava rock, mud, etc???? Maybe you could do a series of doing this with different materials and see how it helps? The nurse brain in me is intrigued!!!

Cam :

Hope for quick recovery! Thank you for what you do

Ali Rose🐮💘💟🐸♟️ :

You should go outside and do it in the dirt also. Look into “grounding” super therapeutic! Keep up the good work ❤️
