At the age of 22, Ben Jones had already achieved a successful career as a scaffolder. It was a job he enjoyed, as he was always a lover of the outdoors and sports, though he did admit it was “heavy” at the best of times.

However, on the 12th of June 2021, he sustained a C6 incomplete spinal cord injury following a road traffic accident. It was an emotional and physical challenge for Ben, especially as his injury took him away from his friends and family during the Covid Pandemic.

This case study, filmed in August 2024, shares Ben’s journey from before his accident, at STEPS Rehabilitation, and his plans for the future.
