The mission of Push to Walk is to provide individualized workouts and resources to people with spinal cord injuries and other forms of paralysis to optimize their current quality of life and to prepare for future medical advancements.

Using movement and a whole-body approach to achieve health, wellness, and fitness, Push to Walk is committed to helping all clients reach a higher quality of life.
Physical Rehabilitation Options
We offer a free initial evaluation and Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) add-ons for those who qualify. The evaluation gives the client an opportunity to share strengths gained from physical therapy and future goals with PTW’s training staff. It also allows the trainer to assess the client’s current abilities and develop an exercise program that addresses the individual’s specific needs.
After this initial evaluation, individuals may choose from the following training options:
Activity-Based Exercise Program: Weekly sessions led by trainers at our specially equipped gym. ABT is designed to help you stay fit using out special adaptive equipment for strength training, stretching, balance, gait training and endurance.
Stretch Sessions: Existing clients can add thirty-minute stretching sessions to supplement their workouts.
How We Operate
Clients pay an hourly fee for personalized training. These fees do not fully cover operating expenses. The balance is obtained through fundraising activities, grants, and donations.
