FirstStep

Intensive exercise for spinal cord injured people.

About Me

FirstStep is a high intensity, non-traditional, exercise based rehab organization that focuses on recovery rather than adaptation for people with spinal cord injuries. We create individual exercise programs aimed at improving movement and sensation.FirstStep's emphasis moves beyond the traditional rehab techniques to encourage activation of muscles and nerves below the level of injury. The emphasis is placed on improving coordination of limbs, balance, in conjunction with total body exericse and gait training.
