There are so many resources and products out there. Here's a few of my tried and true favorites.
Grant Resources |
Rehabilitation and Education ResourcesInpatient and Outpatient Programs for SCI + TBI. After my initial injury this is where I lived for 3+ months inpatient as I learned how to live life in a wheelchair while also healing & strengthening. We extended the stay there for an extra week outpatient and then we were left to figure out what is next in the rehabilitation process.
That's where we found other physical therapists and I eventually ended up at the Neuroworxs outpatient clinic. They specialize in paralysis and SCI physical therapy. The clinic is amazing and worked with me through gate training, strengthening and other physical goals.
Call it therapeutic recreation, adaptive recreation, it was here I really started moving my body and healing. It's a tricky balance when to ease up on the physical therapy and when to start taking care of other parts of your body and this not only helped my brain, but my heart too.
