You may recognise Paula as one half of Strictly Wheels, a wheelchair dancing couple, who compete for Team GB at IPC Level, or from her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent – where they went on to become semi-finalists.
Paula has started using an Ottobock Ventus wheelchair as her daily use chair, which has been designed to keep up with her active lifestyle.
“It’s
amazing the difference a wheelchair can make”, explains Paula Moulton. “I
often struggle with spasms, but after a whole day in this chair, this has
reduced. I also noticed I use less energy, which is so important for me to have
in a wheelchair.”
Paula
wants to raise awareness about the benefit of being active. Her advice to
others: “To be active in a wheelchair doesn’t mean you have to tumble on a
rugby pitch or sprint for a basketball. There are plenty of sports out there
that can keep your body fit and your mind active. Participating in sports such
as wheelchair dancing can really help you build confidence – as well as fitness
and strength of mind and with the right mind set you can achieve more than you
ever thought possible.”
