Description

• Exercise and physical activity are often inaccessible and overlooked by individuals with disabilities, especially those that use wheelchairs for mobility.

  A lack of daily physical activity and routine exercise produces a higher risk for skin breakdowns, osteoporosis, chronic pain, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
