🧐When technology supports purposeful movement.
Transspinal stimulation (TSS or tSCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that uses surface electrodes placed over specific spinal levels to help modulate spinal cord activity and trans-synaptically activate neural structures via the posterior roots!

🧠After spinal cord injury and other central nervous system conditions, disrupted motor and sensory signaling can make purposeful movement more difficult. With nearly 70% of new SCI classified as incomplete, improving standing/walking, & functional mobility remains a key focus of rehabilitation.

⚡️Here, Charlie is performing sit-to-stand training with TSS integrated into therapy. He has self-reported improved ease of movement with stimulation on and notices a difference when it is removed.

❗️Patient responses vary and may include changes in sensation, proprioception, tone, trunk control, or endurance.

🔬 Research is ongoing, with early evidence suggesting TSS may be a promising tool when combined with skilled, task-specific therapy.

This one means a lot ❤️✍️

After experiencing a stroke late this summer, Susan has been working hard with our SLP to rebuild her ability to communicate.

Living with aphasia brings real challenges expressing thoughts & emotions, but Susan has met them with determination & consistency. 🧠💬

One of her personal goals was to create a full-page newsletter to include in her Christmas cards for family and friends. Through dedicated work in speech sessions and practice at home, she edited, revised, and refined her writing… And she finished it. 🎄✨

Susan tells us TRP feels like family, and we couldn’t be more proud of the effort, perseverance, and heart she brings to her recovery. This is more than a letter, it’s a meaningful milestone.

We’re so proud of you, Susan. 💙

Another success story for the books 🥳

Malissa’s progress through our week-long FMD LIFE Program is a powerful example of how intentional, individualized strategies can support meaningful change in Functional Movement Disorder.

Throughout the program, therapy focused on improving proprioceptive awareness & nervous system regulation, helping her recognize body sensations and better understand where her body is in space.

✔️ Strategies used included:
❤️‍🩹 Wrapping to support body awareness and regulation
💪 Weighting to provide calming sensory input
🎵 Salient, enjoyable movement tasks to help associate movement with fun

🤩By the end of the program, Malissa demonstrated significant improvements in walking and balance and experienced fewer seizures, allowing her to move with less assistance & greater confidence.

We’re proud of the work you put in, Malissa, and honored to be part of your journey. 👏

Take a look at this incredible recovery progress. Rebuilding strength after major knee surgery takes time, patience, and determination, and Gabby is showing up for all of it. As both an occupational therapist and a dancer, she understands movement deeply, and now she’s experiencing the other side of therapy after her Patellofemoral Arthroplasty and Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy. From early activation work to progressive strengthening, she’s focused on restoring hip stability, lower-body control, balanced movement patterns, and strength through a full functional range. Her latest milestone, a controlled isolated leg lift with strong quad activation and no brace, speaks for itself. We’re incredibly proud of her progress so far. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to share more of her recovery journey with you.

From socks to steps 👣

Rehab wins look different for everyone & today was a big one. 👟

For Rickley, severe myopathy made even light touch and sock tolerance impossible. Creating limitations with any kind of standing endurance & daily mobility at the start of his journey.

⭐️With gradual exposure, strengthening & focused gait prep, he’s now walking on the treadmill for the first time! A milestone that once felt out of reach.

👏These steps symbolize more than movement - they reflect consistency & hope. Great work, Rickley!

Building the strength for everyday independence 💪

Fred came to TRP with one clear goal: to regain as much independence as possible after his spinal cord injury. Core strength can be one of the hardest areas to activate after SCI, but also one of the most essential for daily function.

In today’s session, we targeted his trunk stability and control using:

🔹FES to the abdominals and obliques to enhance activation
🔹 Supported sit-ups with a wedge for safe, progressive trunk engagement
🔹 Kettlebell holds progressing to a Tidal Tank sphere for added load and instability
🔹 Randomized BlazePod taps between reps to challenge directional control, reaction & coordinated movement

🧠 Why it matters:
Developing core strength after SCI supports safer transfers, improved balance, better wheelchair control and not to mention greater confidence with daily tasks.

❤️ It also helps him keep up with the meaningful roles in his life, including parenting & staying engaged at home.

We’re proud of Fred’s hard work and the purpose behind each rep!
