NESN Sports Spotlight: Spaulding's ExPD Program

Having a disability should never keep you from doing the things you love. And that includes exercise and maintaining an active lifestyle. Our Exercise for Persons with Disabilities (ExPD) program provides opportunities and training for people with spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and stroke to participate in exercise programs that are fun and engaging. Our clinicians and therapists will tailor a program to meet your specific needs.
We offer a range of cardiovascular and muscle building programs for all levels of ability. One of the primary and most successful activities of the ExPD program is indoor adaptive rowing.
