Hi @ridge2018
Welcome to our community and good to meet you.
I have spastic quadriplegia and as I have gotten older my mobility has changed. I have that exercising really helps me, particularly swimming, as it is low impact on my knees etc.
Have you contacted your G.P. to discuss the possibility of physiotherapy? I will include a link to a good discussion about Managing your CP
Keep in touch.
