The experienced team at Rehab Without Walls® is trained to work with patients who have been diagnosed with a wide variety of complex neurologic conditions, including:
- Progressive neurologic diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis
- Neuromuscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) and Guillain-Barre
- Post-concussive syndrome
- Toxic exposure such as toxic leukoencephalopathy
- Brain and central nervous system tumors
- Brain infections
- Angelman syndrome
- Cerebral palsy
- Down syndrome
- Dysautonomia
- Encephalitis
- Meningitis
- Prader Willi syndrome
- Seizures
Regardless of diagnosis, our goal is to help patients who have neurological conditions live as fully and independently as possible.
For example, Rehab Without Walls helps patients with neurological conditions:
- Maintain or improve mobility as much as possible
- Relearn fine motor skills
- Participate in exercises appropriate to their diagnosis
- Develop strategies to make daily life safer and easier
- Learn how to use adaptive equipment, assistive technologies
- Properly use medications and devices (such as infusions and implantable pumps)
- Manage the emotional challenges of their diagnosis
Like with all of our rehab programs, we work with the patient and family to set functional and personal treatment goals. We then create a customized rehab program around those goals. We also provide supportive services, connecting patients and families with support services in the community.
- Commercial health insurance: We work with 200-plus commercial health insurance companies. If you have a question about a specific plan or type of coverage, please contact us.
- Workers compensation: We work with all workers’ compensation companies.

Each year, about 12,500 Americans are newly diagnosed with a spinal cord injury (SCI).* Many of these people are young and active. They have jobs and hobbies and family responsibilities. And then, quite suddenly, everything changes.
While neuro rehab can’t reverse permanent spinal cord damage, it can help people who have SCI lead the fullest life possible. For example, Rehab Without Walls ® helps our patients improve mobility, learn how to use adaptive equipment and manage the emotional challenges of their new life.
Our approach combines science, compassion and creativity to deliver the best results for each patient. Rehab Without Walls is unique and successful for a few main reasons:
Functional and personal goals
In addition to typical goals of spinal cord rehab, we work with the patient and family to establish more personal goals. Our experience and clinical studies agree that this approach keeps patients more motivated and engaged in therapy.
For example, functional goals might include improving standing balance and multi-limb coordination. By contrast, personal goals might include traveling to Europe within five years.
Many specialties, one team
Because spinal cord injury can affect so many parts of the body, we think it’s important for multiple specialties to work together. A team approach is also more efficient. For example, an occupational therapist (OT) and physical therapist (PT) might both go to the workplace with a patient. The OT will focus on navigating environmental barriers safely, while the PT will focus on coordination.
A physician oversees all team members. A clinical coordinator keeps everyone on the team aligned and also serves as the main point of contact for the patient’s family during the course of treatment.
Family member education and involvement
Like all catastrophic illnesses and injuries, spinal cord injury has a ripple effect on the survivor’s family.
That’s why we help both the patient and family develop coping strategies to adjust to their new reality. The health of the family and the health of the client are so interconnected that both need to be a part of the treatment process.

A stroke – also known as a cerebrovascular accident, or “CVA” – can affect many parts of the body such as movement, speech and memory. As a result, the road to recovery can be long and complex.
Fortunately, the outlook for stroke survivors today is more hopeful than ever. While rehabilitation doesn’t reverse the damage caused by a stroke, it can help a survivor achieve the highest level of independence and quality of life possible.
The Rehab Without Walls® approach to stroke rehab centers on a few main principles:
Many specialties, one team
A stroke can affect many parts of the body and mind, so we think it’s important for multiple specialties to work together.
A team approach is often more efficient, too. For example, an occupational therapist (OT) and physical therapist (PT) might go for a walk with the patient together. The OT will focus on pathfinding and comprehension, while the PT will focus on gait and balance.
Family member education and involvement
Stroke has a ripple effect on the survivor’s family. The family dynamic may have changed. There may be worries if the main breadwinner is unable to work. Expectations for recovery may not be in line with reality.
That’s why we help both the patient and family develop coping strategies to adjust to their new reality. The health of the family and the health of the client are so interconnected that both need to be a part of the treatment process.
Long-term, real-world goals
In addition to typical “functional goals” of post-stroke therapy, like being able to walk unassisted, we work with the patient and family to establish goals that are more personal – like hosting a party, coaching soccer again or returning to work.
Because stroke can occur in people of all ages (not just the elderly, as the stereotype would have you believe), this approach is particularly beneficial for younger patients who want to participate as fully as possible in home and work life.
While it’s important to measure progress during therapy, our real success lies in what comes after. That’s why we say we’re focused on “durable outcomes.”

Family member education and involvement
Like all catastrophic illnesses and injuries, spinal cord injury has a ripple effect on the survivor’s family.
That’s why we help both the patient and family develop coping strategies to adjust to their new reality. The health of the family and the health of the client are so interconnected that both need to be a part of the treatment process.

A stroke – also known as a cerebrovascular accident, or “CVA” – can affect many parts of the body such as movement, speech and memory. As a result, the road to recovery can be long and complex.
Fortunately, the outlook for stroke survivors today is more hopeful than ever. While rehabilitation doesn’t reverse the damage caused by a stroke, it can help a survivor achieve the highest level of independence and quality of life possible.
The Rehab Without Walls® approach to stroke rehab centers on a few main principles:
Many specialties, one team
A stroke can affect many parts of the body and mind, so we think it’s important for multiple specialties to work together.
A team approach is often more efficient, too. For example, an occupational therapist (OT) and physical therapist (PT) might go for a walk with the patient together. The OT will focus on pathfinding and comprehension, while the PT will focus on gait and balance.
Family member education and involvement
Stroke has a ripple effect on the survivor’s family. The family dynamic may have changed. There may be worries if the main breadwinner is unable to work. Expectations for recovery may not be in line with reality.
That’s why we help both the patient and family develop coping strategies to adjust to their new reality. The health of the family and the health of the client are so interconnected that both need to be a part of the treatment process.
Long-term, real-world goals
In addition to typical “functional goals” of post-stroke therapy, like being able to walk unassisted, we work with the patient and family to establish goals that are more personal – like hosting a party, coaching soccer again or returning to work.
Because stroke can occur in people of all ages (not just the elderly, as the stereotype would have you believe), this approach is particularly beneficial for younger patients who want to participate as fully as possible in home and work life.
While it’s important to measure progress during therapy, our real success lies in what comes after. That’s why we say we’re focused on “durable outcomes.”
