Birth of the Bottoms Up Bar Concept
Out of frustration from not being able to participate in many leisure,  recreational and health-related activities, the Bottoms Up Bar® transfer device was developed by Thom DeLilla, who sustained a traumatic spinal cord injury at the C7 level in 1972. He uses the Bottoms Up Bar® on a daily basis for leisure and recreational purposes.

“If the Bottoms Up Bar® had existed when I was first injured, I would have lived a much different, fuller, safer and healthier life.” – Tom DeLilla
