Category: About Us

We believe that people with neurological injuries such as Multiple Sclerosis, Transverse Myelitis, Cerebral Palsy, and Spinal Cord Injury, require intensive, specialized therapy.  Subsequently, our therapists utilise activity based restorative therapy (ABRT) as practised by the Kennedy Krieger Institute. ABRT is based on the concept that the nervous system requires an optimal level of patterned activity in order to simply maintain itself as well as to maximize response of regeneration after injury. We attempt to promote neurological recovery by stimulating the nervous system above and below the level of injury through intensive activity. Many different techniques to achieve this important stimulation of the nervous system, one of which is the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES). This is the type of therapy received by Christopher Reeve during his rehabilitation. Clients at our practice often receive one to three hours of physical therapy depending on their specific needs.  All sessions are one on one, patient to therapist, and include specific interventions that are tailored to the patient’s needs.
