Abstract
Physical health is a crucial component to one's overall wellbeing, playing a significant role in independence and day-to-day function. This, in turn, has further downstream effects on one's mental health, social integration, and emotional wellbeing. As such, when one experiences a physical injury that impairs their ability to function, it is important as clinicians to identify areas in which we can best support these patients where pharmacologic intervention cannot. Adaptive sports, in turn, has been shown to improve quality of life, social integration, and physical health of those post-injury. This project sought to provide further education and resources to patients who have, or may be seen, in the Hinesburg family clinic.
