Rehab Without Walls® goes beyond traditional home health or outpatient therapy. Rehab Without Walls® specializes in providing functional, intensive, individualized therapy within your home and community. 

Goals are developed collaboratively with family, patient, and a therapy team to focus on how best to return your family member to their desired activity or discover new hobbies and tasks after injury. The therapy takes place in your home and community so learning can be realistic and immediately applicable.

As our name suggests, our therapy is without bounds. The goal is to extend your therapy to meet your individual goals at home, at school, at work, a return to driving, and within your community.

Our expert team creates a customized therapy plan for each home and community rehab patient. The plan may include:

• Physical Therapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Speech-Language Pathology
• Neuropsychology
• Community reintegration
• Counseling
• Social Work
• Dietician
• Vocational Rehab

We have experience with a variety of diagnoses such as Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury, concussion, vestibular, catastrophic and multi-trauma, post-COVID syndrome, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Parkinson’s Disease, other neurodegenerative processes, and Muscular Dystrophy.

Home and community neuro therapy is best suited for adult and pediatric patients who:

• Reside in a home or community setting
• Have a brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, or have a complex diagnosis requiring a multi-disciplined rehabilitation
• Have complex/continuing therapy goals
• Are focused on functional community re-entry
• Would experience a clinical advantage from working on functional goals in a real-life setting

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.”

Benefits of the program

• Students gain an increased awareness of health and wellness topics
