DENVER—Jacob Wassermann says there have been some unexpected side effects following months of physio after being paralyzed from the navel down in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.

Wassermann, 18, has been hard at work since coming out of an induced coma following the April 6 accident north of Tisdale, Sask., which claimed 16 lives and injured 13 others.
