Spinal Cord Injury Paralysis Resource Center

Active Lifestyles

Active Lifestyles

Most people who are paralyzed have heard this old saw: Before (injury or disease) you could do 10,000 things. Now you can do 9,000. So are you going to worry about the 1,000 limitations or concentrate on the bigger list of options still available? The Paralysis Resource Center leans decidedly toward the options side. In this section, we point out several areas to help folks become aware of many activities and outlets to get out of the house and into the community.
