“The exercise works.” Andrew shared a story of his recent injury and recovery. After breaking and dislocating his elbow, he was in a cast for many weeks. Now he’s in physical therapy, where they push and pull and poke and prod at his arm, pressing him to go to places he doesn’t want to go (sometimes painful places). For Andrew, physical therapy resembles the work our Case Managers do here at Homeboy, pushing and pulling and poking and prodding trainees, pressing them to go to places they may not want to go and address their issues in ways that may not always be comfortable. In both cases, Andrew said, the exercise works and healing happens.
