Adaptive Sports

Overview

Adaptive sports programs empower people with physical disabilities to participate in recreational and competitive athletic activities. These programs improve physical fitness, boost confidence, and support social connection.

Our Approach

We partner with Lakeshore Foundation and other local organizations to provide access to inclusive sports programs. Our rehabilitation team identifies appropriate activities for each patient’s interests and abilities, and supports safe participation.

What to Expect

Participants may try sports like wheelchair basketball, adaptive cycling, swimming, or tennis. Activities are guided by trained staff and therapists, and may be part of a broader therapy plan or pursued recreationally after discharge.
