Think fast, step smart

Walking after stroke means managing more than just steps 🧠👣

Milos is training in our Solo-Step harness with a dual-task walking challenge designed to build coordination, balance & confidence safely!

🔵 Blue BlazePod = left foot
🔴 Red BlazePod = right foot

All while forward + backward walking & facing off in a balloon battle with his therapist

🧠Targets:
✅Lower-extremity strength & endurance

✅Balance and coordination

✅Visual scanning & reaction

✅Dual-tasking during gait

Real-world walking requires attention, adaptability, and control. This is how we train it!

Harnessed for safety & challenged with purpose.
Nice work, Milos! 👏

❓Painful or for a pain-free life?

Dry needling is an evidence-informed technique used in both ortho and neuro rehab to support recovery when pain or muscle tension is limiting progress.

🧠 What it does

Targeted needles stimulate trigger points to help:

✅ Reduce muscle guarding
✅ Improve blood flow
✅ Decrease lingering or chronic pain
✅ Prepare muscles for movement & strengthening

⚡️ Sometimes paired with electrical stimulation to enhance the response.

Dry needling is not acupuncture. It’s based on anatomy & neurophysiology while being used alongside active therapy.

Currently offered at TRP locations. Ask your therapist!

Have you tried dry needling before? 👇

Expect the unexpected 👀

Paul is training on our slip trainer, a dynamic balance tool designed to challenge reactive stepping, coordination & fall prevention.

Here’s what’s happening 👇

💥Unpredictable perturbations
The therapist pulls the slip trainer unexpectedly, forcing quick, automatic stepping responses to regain balance.

🧠 Dual-task challenge
Now add balloon batting! While being pulled, Paul has to reach, time his movement, track the balloon & stay upright.

⚡ Real-world carryover
Life doesn’t warn you before a slip, trip, or distraction. This kind of training prepares you to react fast when balance is challenged unexpectedly.

🦺 Safety first
All of this is done using a Solo-Step harness, allowing Paul to push limits safely while we work on confidence and control.

Why it matters ⬇️
Fall prevention isn’t just strength. It’s reaction time, coordination, attention & adaptability, all working together.

This is balance training with purpose.

Feeling tall again. 🙌
Meet our friend Michael.

After a cervical SCI (C3–C7) & spinal fusion in December 2019, upright positioning hasn’t always been part of his routine. This session marked his first time using a tilt table and it was a big milestone. ✨

We gradually brought him up to 60 degrees with stable blood pressure and heart rate throughout. Michael is looking good & feeling good!

🧠 Why tilt table training matters in SCI:

✅ Supports safe, gradual upright positioning
✅ Helps regulate blood pressure and cardiovascular response
✅ Promotes weight bearing through the lower extremities
✅ Encourages bone, joint, and postural health
✅ Builds tolerance and confidence for upright activity

A powerful moment and a great step forward for Michael. Progress comes in many forms & this one mattered. 💪

Cancer care doesn’t stop after treatment. Movement matters! 🎗️

But it should be intentional, individualized, & safe.

🧠 What to watch for
Cancer & its treatments can impact more than strength or endurance. Individuals may experience changes in balance, sensation, fatigue, pain, cognition, bowel & bladder function, or confidence with daily tasks.

💪 Why exercise still matters
Current guidelines encourage avoiding inactivity & progressively working toward aerobic, resistance, & balance training as tolerated. At TRP, “strength” means functional resistance training that supports real life goals, not just the gym.

⚠️ Important reminder
Symptoms & tolerance vary widely. Exercise should always be adjusted based on medical history, treatment side effects, & how the body responds day to day.

🎯 Our approach
Oncology rehab focuses on meeting people where they are, addressing symptoms early, & building capacity for daily life, work, & the things that matter most.
Hope starts here.

We’re going to brag for a minute. 💪

This amazing individual has been nothing short of dedicated from day one.

Paul progressed from wheelchair dependent ➡️ walker ➡️ NO assistive device at all.

After a stroke, Paul came to TRP focused on one goal: regaining his life & independence. We’re grateful to capture pieces of the work in between along his journey.

Sessions focused on building the skills that matter most:

🎈 Balance, reaching & coordination with walker support

🧠 Cognitive challenge in standing to improve dual-tasking & safety

💡 Sit-to-stands with FES to activate his affected leg & reinforce symmetrical effort

🎾 Dynamic movement & confidence with tennis skills in the SoloStep

⬇️⬆️ Independent floor transfers

Today, Paul walks without any assistive device.

🔥Recovery after a stroke isn’t one moment. It’s hundreds of intentional reps, progressive challenges & confidence built over time.

This is the work that bridges the gap. 🤝

Sitting-based exercise is anything but passive. It allows us to challenge the nervous system, balance & control in meaningful ways after spinal cord injuries.

🪑 Why seated training matters:

✅Tone management
✅Trunk & postural control for reaching and dressing
✅Hip & pelvic mobility
✅Positional variety
✅Dynamic stretching with LE movement

⚡ Layering in technology - FES to promote intentional muscle activation & recruitment

Purposeful position, meaningful movement.

This is SCI rehab at TRP!

Strong enough to heal. Confident enough to wear heels. 👠

Gabby, one of our OTs, is progressing wonderfully after a Patellofemoral Arthroplasty + Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy.

🦵 Strength & Stability
• Quads, hips & frontal plane control
• Monster walks, resisted gait, wall sits

📐 Mobility & Control
• Knee flexion & extension ROM
• End-range strength and symmetry

🚶‍♀️ Functional Carryover
• Overground gait and dynamic balance
• Solo-Step harness to safely progress higher-level tasks

❓Why heels?
They increase knee load & balance demands. If you can manage that, everyday walking gets easier.

Progress sometimes looks like stilettos. 👟➡️👠

Built to fight back. 🥊

Roman is in rehab following a left forearm fracture, training with one goal in mind: getting back to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & boxing.

Sessions are focused on rebuilding what combat sports demand:

👊 Grip/wrist strength that can handle impact & control
💥 Shoulder & scapular strength for power and stability
🔁 Restoring range of motion
🏋️‍♂️ Weight bearing & sustained activity tolerance

Then we take it further, translating that strength into sport-specific jiu jitsu holds, practicing control, pressure & confidence in real positions.

💥Find yourself a therapist that happily lets you beat them up.
