Carrie Callahan and Jessica Goodine are physical therapists who have dedicated their careers to SCI rehabilitation. They are co-founders of Empower Spinal Cord Injury, running residential rehabilitation programs in New York and Montana each summer to provide outdoor adaptive sports for those with SCI. We also have Stephanie Romano, assistant director of Empower SCI and Eli Ramos, and Tony Chamberlain who participate with Empower.
The panel dives into the variety of adaptive sports that are not only beneficial for but possible for the SCI population. Within their non-profit organization, they created an atmosphere for those who had a SCI to empower themselves and others to participate in the community.
They explain these sports and activities can be integrated into one’s plan of care to improve the functionality and mobility of this population.
Find out more about Empower Spinal Cord Injury and volunteer with Empower in the future!
