Patient Testimonial

"Going to the gym or joining an exercise class for able-bodied people might feel like one of life's extracurricular activities - you'll survive without, besides, you're tired enough after running around all day long anyway, right? For wheelchair users and those living with SCI, we need these opportunities for exercise to survive and thrive because they help us mitigate and avoid serious and life-threatening secondary conditions such as UTIs, bedsores, DVT, nerve pain, etc. For the past two years, working from home and not being able to go out as much as before COVID, the only exercise I had been getting was transferring in and out of my car when running errands. The virtual exercise program run by All-Abilities Team has been a godsend in helping me stay motivated and on track in getting the physical activity I need to stay as alert and capable as I can for my health and well-being. The free arm bike, weights, and thera-bands have been a fantastic help, but the most important aspect has been knowing that at least once a week, I am going to take the time to hang out with some caring and enthusiastic friends and strengthen myself. That one hour of grueling cardio - it's like a cup of coffee that lasts all week." ~Jonathan Sigworth
