Five years ago I incurred a T-4/5 spinal cord injury, and I now use a manual wheelchair for ambulation. I sustained many injuries in my accident, and as a result I was flat on my back for 6 weeks. Throughout my rehabilitation period at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia, I was very weak. However, since completing rehabilitation, my habitual exercise routines have helped me to successively gain strength such that I have regained a sense of normalcy post injury.
