Some information in this book relates to specific issues for persons with spinal cord injuries (SCI). This is simply because we are most active within and most knowledgeable about rehabilitation following SCI. But whatever you are dealing with: paralysis, spasticity, limb amputation, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, or similar challenges – we believe you will be able to make good use of the various health tools provided in this book.

"We know for certain from many years of clinical practice conducting lifestyle programs in rehabilitation settings, that through modified food choices, adapted regular physical activity, and the cultivation of a positive mindset, increased well-being is possible."
