LIVING WITH A SPINAL CORD INJURY

LIVING WITH A SPINAL CORD INJURY

After a spinal cord injury, breathing may not be easy. The better you can breathe, the better you can speak, eat, cough, laugh and even sing. This video explores how a spinal cord injury impacts the main four breathing muscles, explains the importance of keeping those muscles strong in order to prevent infection and provides information needed to manage breathing for good health.

“As providers of service, we impart education and help individuals with SCI develop necessary life skills, but we can’t completely understand their emotional state, or their view of the future.” 

Marni Nutkowitz PsyD, SCI Neuropsychologist at MossRehab
