Combining first-hand experience, health information and a ground breaking visual approach, this guide has been written from the point of view of those who have been through it. The book breaks conventions by using humour to tackle issues that are never easy to discuss. Aimed at those with a spinal injury it is also written to support family and friends. Medical professionals will also find it is an invaluable tool for communicating issues related to spinal injury.
