"Wheelchairbound" is one of Mary Allison's least favorite words. No one should feel stuck to their wheelchair. Transferring out of your wheelchair is an important skill to learn to increase independence and experience life from a different perspective. With a few simple steps, you too can hop in and out of your chair like a pro.

This video depicts the way Mary Allison has found to navigate life. What works for her may not be feasible for you. It is important to take proper precautions while trying new skills and note that some skills may not be safe for you to attempt and as always be sure to check with your medical provider beforehand.
