π World Spinal Cord Injury Day β 5 September
Today, we recognise World Spinal Cord Injury Day and the millions of people around the world living with spinal cord injury.
A spinal cord injury can have a life-changing impact on movement, sensation, independence and everyday life. But rehabilitation is about much more than physical recovery - it is about helping people maximise their potential, regain confidence and achieve the things that matter to them.
At PhysioFunction, our specialist neurological rehabilitation team works with people with spinal cord injuries at different stages of their journey. Rehabilitation may include working on:
𦽠Transfers and wheelchair skills
πͺ Strength, movement and motor control
πΆ Standing, walking and gait rehabilitation where appropriate
β‘ Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
π Fitness, endurance and physical conditioning
π§ Spasticity and other secondary complications
π― Meaningful, individual goals that support greater independence
Recovery doesn't always follow a straight line, and everyone's journey is different. Small improvements can make a huge difference to someone's independence and quality of life.
Today, we're proud to recognise the determination, resilience and achievements of everyone living with spinal cord injury - and the families, carers and professionals supporting them along the way. π
