Spinal Cord Rehabilitation

When it comes to conditions, injuries, and illnesses that involve the spine, most clinics take a traditional approach, focusing on a diagnosed level of injury and the function associated. At Life Beyond Barriers Rehabilitation Group, we take a holistic approach, shifting the perspective to how far a client’s resolve will take them, achieving the greatest functional recovery.  Together, we come up with a plan. From there, we retrain, rebuild, and rehabilitate.

What makes our Spinal Cord Rehabilitation program different:

• Activity-based therapy that retrains and promotes sensory/motor recovery
• A personalized approach and skilled intervention with principles of neuroplasticity and prevention
• Therapy that prioritizes skills for daily independence and safety
• Simulation of real life activities in an accessible environment
• Evaluation for equipment and orthotic needs, including regular pressure mapping
• Use of Bodyweight Support Systems (BWSS) to promote weight bearing, resistance, balance and gait retraining; included treadmill, ceiling track, and stall bars
• Use of pool (see Aquatic Therapy) to reduce the impact of gravity
• MyndMove Functional Electrical Stimulation used to facilitate arm, hand, and fine motor movement patterns
• MyndStep Functional Electrical Stimulation to address foot drop
• Continuous feedback and active communication
