“When I was 12 years old, I fell off my trampoline（蹦床）causing a rious break in my left arm. As a result, I live with a condition called CRPS, ” he explained to Guinness.
“It’s the brain nding wrong messages to my arm which is the affected area. So anything like soft touch, movement, wind and water will cau me pain.”
Following his diagnosis（诊断）, Scali turned to fitness (planking, specifically) in an effort to manage his pain tolerance. At last, his CRPS motivated him to work toward tting the record in the hope that he could inspire others experiencing pain to still achieve their goals.
