HOW THESE RESOURCES
CAN HELP YOU
A few examples that feature some of the many resources that could impact your quality of life
01
Stumble & Falls
Do you hold onto your loved one when walking outside?
Or have you been furniture walking indoors? (aka when someone uses furniture, walls, or other objects to help them balance while walking).
​
Some equipment recs that may help you out (that isn't your average assistive device)... there's the "worlds toughest all terrain rollator" or maybe these not-so-average walking poles?
​
For more ideas, check out the Adaptive Products Page >>
02
Are You A Caregiver?
Or perhaps a family member helping out a loved one during their recovery?
To protect your back and keep your loved one safe when helping them in/out of bed, standing, adjusting in a chair, or with walking...
​
Watch these videos if your loved is recovering from a stroke or a spinal cord injury.

04
Looking For Support After A Life Changing Event?
Find support groups after paralysis or if you have had a recent or old stroke.
Maybe you need more than that - like assistance with affording medical equipment or to learn how you can get back to sports or outdoor activities (then you should check out these nonprofits if you have had a spinal cord injury).
