Get in Motion

Get in Motion is a free physical activity counseling service for Canadians with spinal cord injury. This Canada-wide service is supported by the SCI Solutions Network in partnership with the Rick Hansen Foundation. Get in Motion is designed to provide you with the information and support you may need to answer questions and meet personal physical activity goals. You will receive a free physical activity toolkit that includes two therabands and information on physical activity for people with spinal cord injury. You will also be invited to participate in a research study on the effectiveness of the new service.
