products and they delivered recommendations on the most accessible
strength and cardio equipment, along with online fitness services made
by and for wheelchair users. Whatever your budget and level of
function, we’ve got something for you. | |
SEX, WHEELS AND RELATIONSHIPS | |
Using Fantasy to Liberate, Rather Than Erase My Disabled Identity
After her spinal cord injury, Kelsey Petersen used fantasy to reconnect
with her body and the sensations that she'd lost. But then, a
long-distance romance helped her realize the value of bringing her
present self into the fantasies she was creating. “I can invite my
disabled body into the fantasy, and still be limitless, it just takes a
little courage, curiosity, and creativity,” she writes. | |
Finding Ease in a Body with Cerebral Palsy
For Greg Moomjy, functioning with CP often felt like he was forcing his
body to do things it didn’t want to do. Then, an opera-singer friend
introduced him to the Alexander Technique, a therapeutic method that
aims to integrate your thinking and movement. Moomjy explains how the
technique completely changed his relationship with his body, reduced his
spasms and allowed him to eliminate some medications. | |

Comparing Your SCI to Others
We can learn so much by finding parallels with people who have similar
disabilities, but no two injuries are the same. In 2019, we talked to
wheelchair users about comparing your SCI to others. One common theme?
Sometimes in trying to find similarities, we lose sight of our own
unique strengths. | |
