Incredible Progress: Philip's Healing Journey
Nov 13, 2025
We’re honored to share another meaningful update from Dr. Gonzalez’s recent in-office work with Philip, a young man whose story continues to inspire everyone he meets.
Before his injury, Philip lived a full and active life. He grew up surfing the Florida coastline, joined the National Guard as soon as he was old enough, and married his high-school sweetheart—just one week after the tragic pool-diving accident that changed everything.
One year ago, Philip damaged his C3/C4 vertebrae after diving into a shallow pool, immediately becoming a quadriplegic. Instead of losing hope, he committed himself wholeheartedly to his recovery. For a full year, he devoted five hours every day to physical therapy, rebuilding strength and regaining significant dexterity in his arms and legs.
When he came to Agoura Hills for a week of intensive neurological rehabilitation with Dr. George Gonzalez and Dr. Terry Schroeder, Dr. Gonzalez noticed a key neurological pattern during his assessment:
Philip’s C5 deltoid was strong when his head remained neutral, but the moment he rotated his head or shrugged his shoulders, the deltoid instantly weakened.
This indicated that his nervous system couldn’t manage multiple stress inputs—head movement and shoulder engagement—without interrupting communication to the muscle.

Through Quantum Neurology® Nervous System Rehabilitation, Dr. Gonzalez worked to restore that communication. By strengthening all 12 cranial nerves, stacking neurological stressors to reinforce resilience, and applying functional range-of-motion exercises, Philip’s nervous system began responding with improved strength, stability, and coordinated movement.
By the end of the intensive week, Philip was already moving with greater ease, control, and confidence. And his progress hasn’t stopped—he continues performing the at-home brain training and coordination exercises recommended by Dr. Gonzalez to keep advancing his recovery.
Stories like Philip’s highlight what’s possible when determination meets targeted neurological rehabilitation.
