Movement is medicine!
🦽 Movement After Spinal Injury Matters
Living with a spinal cord injury brings unique challenges - from reduced mobility to managing muscle spasticity and preventing secondary complications. But movement is still possible, and it’s one of the most powerful tools for maintaining health and independence.
Biokineticists specialise in creating safe, adapted exercise programmes for people with paraplegia and other spinal cord injuries. These programmes focus on:
✨ Building and maintaining muscle strength
✨ Improving circulation and joint health
✨ Managing spasticity and pain
✨ Enhancing functional ability for everyday independence
Every session is carefully designed to meet each individual’s needs, ensuring safety while maximising physical potential. Beyond the body, exercise also supports mental well-being and confidence - helping patients take back control of their lives.
