I'll concede almost everything you've said, especially regarding our knowledge of 'psychosomatic' diseases and pain.
However, I watched part of that video and the moment you hear "doctors said I would never walk again," your skepticism alarm should go off immediately.
There is a huge spectrum of spinal cord injury and some are reversible, some are irreversible and then there's a huge uncertain territory in between. Usually these cases are the result of miscommunication between a doctor and patient. Of course, it could be that their initial doctor was incorrect or incompetent... but I think miscommunication is a lot more common.
