To spread awareness of the impact of a spinal cord injury (SCI), we're sharing the testimonies of our users who live with this condition and how they have adapted to life after sustaining an SCI.
The impact of a Spinal Cord Injury cannot be overestimated. For many people with an SCI, it’s not the inability to walk that has been the most troubling, it's problematic bladder and bowel management issues that can pose an obstacle, and the impact these have upon social life, mental health and sex life. We've spoken to many of our users affected by this condition and share their testimonies for International Spinal Cord Awareness Day.
