Empowering Disabled Children Through Archery: The Unseen Strength at San Raffaele Sulmona

The great beauty of archery: the disability is there but you can’t see it. This is the teaching that comes from San Raffaele Sulmona, the nursing home that hosts many disabled children. The objective is “to help them return to life despite the abilities compromised by the injury”, explains the head physician, Giorgio Felzani, “it is a road often paved with suffering, discouragement and apathy. It is also for this reason that the Disabled Sports project was born and developed at our Spinal Unit. A rehabilitation training offer that combines sport with traditional therapies and robotics. And which from 2021 also includes archery as an official discipline under the supervision of specialized and certified FITArco (Italian Archery Federation) technicians of the Peligni Archers Association”.
