Traditionally, spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation focused on compensation. The thought was that the human nervous system could not re-organize and improve function below the level of injury. Recent research and our own client success over the last decade have proven this to be false for many people with SCI. At Project Walk we cannot guarantee who will regain function, however, we understand and recognize symptoms that present the potential to improve function below the level of injury. We tap into this potential through an intense activity-based program. This program focuses on using specific exercises that are related to the same movement patterns that occur during human development. Through these movements we are attempting to re-establish patterned neural activity within the central nervous system. These movement patterns are replicated by our clients with the assistance of our highly trained SCI Recovery Specialists.

In addition to the unique exercises and highly trained staff, Project Walk also believes that the use of antispasmodics and other medication...

The focal point of Project Walk is to help those who have suffered Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) to be able to regain their normal functions (walk, stand, posture, etc…) over the course of an intense activity-based program.  Project Walk implements specific exercises that are similar to the same movements done on normal bases.  The objective is to improve your ability to regain the use of those functions that were damaged. In addition to those exercises, they also believe in the use of antispasmodics and other medications associated with treading SCI “hinders” the chance of recovery.  In fact, they have found that by eliminating certain medications that were used to help them progress, worked better WITHOUT it!  With the increase in activity and less medications, their clients significantly improved their overall quality of health and quality of life!
