Most special associations offer organized activities (para sports) – all are low-threshold and often free. The most important thing is to find out what you want to try and perhaps return to a sport you are familiar with. Look, contact and try, but there is no shame in turning around.

The most important thing we do is to familiarize ourselves with the offers and invest in our own health. Momentum has a tradition of having members who are, have been in and are part of major international and national sports. Several of our members have participated in the Paralympics up to several times and we are an association with roots in sports and activities in general. But; we are most concerned that more people get involved in activities and are physically active. Remember that all activities are also social arenas and participation in any case gives belonging, joy and mastery.

Keep up to date on Momentum’s website and the Momentum group on Facebook, possibly contact the sports and activities committee in Momentum and/or your regional team. Ask and you will find.

The most important thing is to be active and keep up a hobby, not least because amputees in particular are recommended to be physically active. Being part of an activity group gives a sense of belonging and there is always a focus on the social. We are never alone.

The most important thing is to find out what you like to do and take the initiative to try something new or follow a dream, reach a goal. Nothing happens by itself and there are many people with disabilities who are active and exercise in order to have a good active life and better health.

It is perfectly permissible to have fun, socialize and be active at the same time. We have lost a body part(s) but not our life. Use the opportunities – there are many providers and players who would like to be visited by you
