Aikido is only one Way. There are many Ways that does not require as much physical ability as Aikido. Without knowing your restrictions, two of the Japanese Ways that come to mind are calligraphy (Shodo) and painting.
My feeling is that any of these Ways have the same principle of body, mind, spirit connection that would fit with your study of Aikido.
I hope this is a help.

Go ahead, tread on me.
