Why intensity matters

Progress depends on practice

After a neurological event, progress depends on practice: many repetitions of meaningful movement, guided by a therapist. At home, therapy often ends when insurance visits run out. Our intensive programs give you [2–4] hours a day of focused, one-on-one work so you can build on what you’ve already achieved.

What we work on

  • Walking, gait and endurance
  • Balance and fall prevention
  • Strength and motor control of the arm and leg
  • Transfers and daily-life tasks: getting up, dressing, stairs
  • Coordination and fine motor skills
  • Spasticity management and flexibility
  • Caregiver training, so progress continues at home

Tell us about your diagnosis and a therapist will tell you honestly if we can help.

Our approach

Evidence-based, measurable, honest

We use evidence-based physiotherapy: task-specific training, gait and balance training, strengthening, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation when appropriate. We do not offer stem cells or other unproven treatments, and we never promise a cure. We set measurable goals with you and re-test them every week.

A typical day

Morning

[90]-minute session: gait, balance, strength.

Midday

Rest, lunch, pool or beach time.

Afternoon

[60–90]-minute session: arm function, daily-life tasks, caregiver coaching.
