People who can walk

Do you have a spinal cord injury and are able to walk? Whether you walk with or without aids, or use a wheelchair some of the time, we are here to help you improve your confidence and lead a more independent life.

Our telephone support and mentoring services are available to offer advice and a listening ear from others with a spinal cord injury. Back Up’s Next Steps course covers life skills such as using public transport, cooking and getting around a busy city. The course also gives you an opportunity to share experiences and talk about different issues related to being able to walk following a spinal cord injury. The topics discussed include pain, fatigue management, invisible disability, guilt and other issues.

Group leaders and skills trainers on the Next Steps course are also people with a spinal cord injury who are able to walk.
