im a PT student, and im learning from you more than i do in class, keep up the good work ! thanks alot

I’m old enough to be his Dad, so maybe it’s my age, but I find myself feeling very, very proud of him.

I am a physical therapist student and I am learning a lot from your videos. This boosts my practical knowledge and always keeps up getting motivated to learn more and more. Thank you so much.

Wow!  You are amazing and an inspiration to so many watching your channel.  My brother is recently paralyzed (T-10).  I found your channel and have been telling him about your and all thing things you have learned to do since your accident.  Thank you for making these videos!

I think you're amazing doing this to teach other people! I'm really impressed and so inspired of your confidence and your input to share this with people who need it! Bless you!

Hi I'm a PT student. We've been taught how to do this in class but ive only seen demos from my classmates and not from an actual paraplegic person and i can say that im pretty inspired. You paraplegic people are beautiful people :) thanks

I would like to thank this beautiful soul for doing what he is doing here making these videos.  They make those of us who have health, more thankful for the health we have. And they give instruction to those who are in his situation, and when they see his calm demeanor, I'm sure it helps them have hope, and he is a good pattern for others to follow.He is not complaining at all, and that should make those of us who do complain at times ashamed of ourselves who don't have to deal with his illness.

I am a paraplegic patient too. T12.♿
I am from the Philippines.

That's pretty damn impressive for a T1 complete. I'm a T3 complete, 20 years, and although I can do it if I have to I avoid it at all costs. I like to get on the couch first which is lower, then down to the floor. Then back up onto the couch then back into the chair. A lot less strain on the shoulders.

Good that you have a positive attitude and glad you're doing so well getting in and out of your chair.

Thank you for explaining this. I'm currently writing a story just for fun and one of my characters is paralyzed from a car crash when he was younger and this really helps me bring him to life a lot more than just me guessing. All your videos really help! Thanks again!

I'v been watching you since day one 14 months now and you give me hope TY!

Thank you🎉 for being such an awesome person sharing & helping so many. GOD BLESS YOU 😇🙏

your injury is very high my  injury is t3 yours is a little good from me so I congratulate you you are amazing man thanks for video

Hi new subscriber this is awesome I'm a paraplegic since birth have always been wheelchair user but have been hospitalized for last 7yrs, I am way out of practice doing everything on my own and after all these yrs of being bed ridden now starting therapy ugghhh so outta shape and weak I can't lift myself yet. But this is motivated me! Thanks God bless

I don’t know why YouTube pointed me to your videos, but I like them! You show that your life is as regular as anyone’s else, you just had to learn new things. The transition I suppose is tough, but then it’s just plain normal. Thank you for showing that to us !

I am a T2 complete para. I do quite a few floor to chair transfers due to sports.
I lower myself in the same way but to get up I have a velcro strap around my legs just above my knees to keep my legs together. This I keep wrapped around the cross bar on my seat back.
Sitting on the floor perpendicular to chair I then bring my legs close to me and plant the hand that is opposite to the chair. Grabbing the furthest rail of the chair with the other hand I pull myself into a squat position. Then using my hand/arm grabbing the chair I push up while also pushing and stabilising with the fist on the floor.
With a little swing using the planted fist to help I swing my hips around onto the chair. I then use the planted hand to push on my lower leg to push my upper body upright.

I started with the cushion off at first but now do it with the cushion on.

Thanks for sharing your experience.....you’re very inspirational to watch.  Love all your videos.

you are amazing..my daughter is paraplegic. This is inspiring

Awesome video! I remember watching your video when first learning how to do transfers! Thank you for helping share your tips and tricks! :)
