This guide contains detailed instructions for how to stretch or assist with stretching with spinal cord injury (SCI). It is a resource for both caregivers and those rehabilitating themselves as an overview of the best ways to hold an effective stretching routine. There are tips and tricks, instructions, and a whole introductory full body stretching routine with photos to go along with each stretch.
 
After years of experience as an inclusive fitness trainer, I have seen how big of a difference stretching can make in those with spinal cord injury's quality of life and recovery. While working out everyday may be a challenge, I am a believer that daily stretching will help alleviate some spasticity that often comes with having a spinal cord injury.
