‘Tree-climbing’ challenge for people with spinal cord disabilities!

Wheelchair repair technician, disability awareness instructor, and wheelchair rugby team coach.

At the age of 23, when he suffered from cervical paralysis at the age of 23, disconnected from the world and feeling despondent, it was wheelchair rugby that brought him out of the world.

Those who had been a challenge every moment from the moment they got into the wheelchair took on a new challenge.

In order to climb a tree with hands that couldn't even hold a rope, I fixed the equipment, continued strength training, and began practical training.

Disabled people are not ‘patients’, and disability is an inconvenience, not pain.

However, the ‘exercise reality of ordinary disabled people’ who do not participate in the Paralympic Games is different from that of non-disabled people.

The reason that the average life expectancy of disabled people is lower than that of non-disabled people is not because they are ‘sick’, but because it is difficult to ‘regularly’ engage in exercise appropriate for their disability.
