About this resource

About

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation has been the leading advocate and funder of spinal cord injury research since 1982. Its fitness and exercise resource section provides medically reviewed, practical guidance for daily life with paralysis, developed in partnership with rehabilitation professionals and the SCI community.

What It Does

The resource hub covers exercise recommendations tailored by injury type and level, a free spinal cord yoga video series, wheelchair workout techniques for cardio and strength, and curated links to leading adaptive fitness programmes. Content is updated regularly to reflect current SCI research and the latest adaptive fitness evidence.

Who It Helps

This guide primarily serves people living with spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and related conditions — from those recently injured through to those with decades of wheelchair experience. It is especially valuable for individuals seeking science-backed, practical guidance on maintaining fitness and preventing secondary health complications.
