Chris Read is the Program Director of the Adaptive Sports Center in Crested Butte Colorado. A lifelong outdoor enthusiast, he got interested in physical therapy after his own knee injury sent him to the sidelines. Then as a student at the University of Utah he learned that recreation and therapy actually go hand in hand. All over the country organizations like Adaptive are thriving, using outdoor adventure as a healing tool for people with limiting conditions of one kind or another. That population ranges from people with developmental disabilities to wounded veterans returning home. To hear Read tell it, it's life changing, for clients, therapists and volunteers alike.
