Spasticity is a condition that affects some individuals with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and brain or spinal cord injury. Those who have spastic cerebral palsy experience impaired movement due to muscle stiffness, involuntary muscle spasms and limited range of motion in joints.

Dealing with any kind of physical impairment can be a challenge, and many people turn to community support groups or networks to share their stories, experiences, and advice. Online communities are especially popular, and one in particular seeks to empower and connect individuals with spasticity.

That community is called Exploring Spasticity and it invites anyone whose life is touched by spasticity – caregivers, children, adults, family members, and friends – to join. People are encouraged to share their stories, some of which are featured in an annual complimentary spasticity calendar.

The website also offers information on spasticity treatment as well as links to resources.
