How to participate in Adaptive Sports and Recreation after a spinal cord injury

For many who experience a spinal cord injury, the thought of being able to participate in sports and recreation activities in their “new body” may seem overwhelming, if not, impossible to accept. An SCI does not have to keep you from being active. Adaptive sports and recreation are good for your health and may be key to your lifelong wellness. These activities may also help you to engage with your community. Without such activity, you may be at higher risk for physical and mental health problems, such as obesity, heart disease and depression. You may also feel left out if you do not engage in enjoyable activities. Others may assume that you cannot be active just because of your injury.
