Newly injured Heath, straight out of the spinal unit and into our physio scholarship programme this week.
Our programme will help Heath look after his body and move forward post #spinalcordinjury

@JourneyFog I understand completely, I have spent 90% of the last 12yrs bedbound or housebound. Unfortunately most small talk isn't an issue for most but for us the little things can hit very hard. xxx

Helen has a very poor care package sadly, despite being C4/5 and living alone. H wanted to join in today’s SkiErg challenge.... having no carers around wasn’t going to stop her. 💪🏻
Nothing but admiration for our pal H. (Nothing but disgust for her care providers)

In 2019 we’ve helped more people than ever, affected by spinal cord injury, to access physiotherapy. Here’s just a few (a few) of the superstars who have felt the TEAMRST love...

Growing up disabled you get exposed to so much "You can do ANYTHING if you try!"-type inspoporn that's damaging bc when you can't do things you internalize that you're not trying hard enough. There's power in reclaiming saying "No, I can't do that. My body doesn't work that way."

With M’s level of paralysis, marginal gains can be life changing.
Balance, posture, safety in her wheelchair, confidence... the list goes on but progress doesn’t just happen.

I am a disabled & I am a gamer, I have been gaming most of my life, it helps me relax....and I have found that no true gamer gives a shit if your disabled or not! I shall be playing #Borderlands3 tomorrow! #gamergirl #disabledgamer #gamingcommunity
