Comment on What should I know about using a wheelchair for the first time?

Go up ramps backwards to prevent falling onto your head.
Wheelchair ramps rarely have the correct slope. Every day is arm day.
I don’t know what’s wrong with you and sitting, but you can put in the brake for your wheelchair and do dips or something if it helps

Thanks for the tip and advice.
Yeah it’s just that poor posture over time (been fixing it with PT) has caused… Problems. Sitting usually results in ever increasingly intense lower back pain, especially if there is minimal lumbar support
