Understanding spinal cord injury
& getting started with SCI clients
SINGLE USER and TEAM (5+ users) pricing available
So, you got a new client inquiry…
Don’t worry, we got you.
We’ve compiled the most relevant information for movement professionals to feel confident getting started with their first SCI clients.…
Learn everything you need to know about spinal cord injury as a movement professional starting to work with SCI.
Turn on the sound to listen in!
With a comprehensive exploration of potential motor and sensory abilities you may encounter, with video examples of REAL individuals with SCI, you’ll know what to expect when your new client with a [C5 ASIA B] SCI comes through the door.
Between an analysis of SCI-specific compensation patterns and a breakdown of common SCI client goals (how does someone drive with no leg movement?!), you’ll feel confident supporting your clients wherever they are in their movement journey.
We’ll also cover important safety considerations & secondary challenges unique to SCI so you are ready to address them *if* they ever come up. And if you’re hesitant about helping someone transfer out of their wheelchair onto your table, we’ve got that covered too.
