Man with Genetic Disorder Attempts Push-up World Record
Sagar Brahmabhatt, who has a genetic condition called SCA, is trying to set a push-up world record.
This condition makes it hard to control your body movements.
He is doing this to show people with SCA that they can still live active lives.
He uses Tai Chi to help with his balance, which has helped him walk better.
He was diagnosed with SCA in late 2023, after seeing his father suffer from the same illness.
Doctors say that exercise and good eating habits can help people with SCA.
He hopes his attempt will inspire others to take control of their health and spread awareness.
Sagar Brahmabhatt, diagnosed with Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA), will attempt a world record in TRX Atomic Push-ups.
The attempt aims to raise awareness about SCA, a genetic disorder affecting coordination and related body functions.
Brahmabhatt's journey involves Tai Chi to improve balance and posture after experiencing symptoms post-COVID-19.
He received a formal diagnosis in December 2023 after years of denial and witnessing his father's battle with SCA.
Neurologist Dr. Arvind Sharma highlights that physical therapy and nutrition can help patients with Ataxia live fulfilling lives.
