Justin’s Story

He lost his leg below the knee in a catastrophic accident, survived eight surgeries, and returned to full duty in less than one year:

Sgt. Justin Dodge has a strong message about the “5 F’s” concept he follows for success in life.
How does he view his come-back story of resilience?

“It’s not that I’m not special, but I was preparing long before my injury. For two decades I’ve tried to live my life in the best way that I can, so that when something happened I’d be prepared.“

Justin’s Prehab Mentality means to live your life in the active pursuit of wellness, not IF something happens to you, but WHEN.
