What has exercise based therapy done for me?
I began as a doubter of exercise-based therapy and was very skeptical of the benefits of the program. After exhausting all of my traditional physical therapy I figured I would give it a try. Within ten minutes of my first training session I knew this was for me. I cannot say for sure if it gave me any new muscle movement, but it has developed muscles I didn't know I was capable of using.

Exercise-based therapy has created an avenue for me to gain my independence. As a C6-C7 quad I am now often confused with the ability level of a paraplegic. I owe a large portion of my recovery to this more modern type of therapy.

I am now a believer and am anxious for everyone with an SCI to try it.
