Are you interested in keeping fit? You should be! A healthier body and mind will help you overcome some of the obstacles in life.
"No one should be excluded. Sport and fitness is for everyone. Male, female, young and old...with or without a disability...everybody needs to exercise to get the best out of life and keep their mind and body going. What better way is there to do that than sport? The Limbless Association is a National charity that supports the needs of amputees and people born with limb deficiencies.
Sports+ is the latest initiative from the LA to help, support, encourage and promote sports and fitness amongst the limb-loss community. We aim to provide information and access to as many different sports as possible and help amputees get involved in the sport of their choice.
We provide information and contact details for sporting associations and governing bodies, provide advice and access to sport after limb-loss, offer group fitness sessions and professional sports training and create performance pathways, liaising with Paralympics GB, to help locate and encourage elite sportsmen and women.
Whatever your age, fitness level or level of ability our Sports+ coach will adapt a training session to suit your needs. You can join other amputees in keeping fit and, if you wish, participate in a football match afterwards. We run amputee fitness sessions from 10am to 12pm every Sunday morning.
