Physical Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) vary significantly depending on the level and severity of the injury. Dr. Chuck provides an individualized, evidence-based therapy approach through Mobile Physio—tailored to your specific needs, goals, and functional level.

Individualized Approach

No two spinal cord injuries are the same. Dr. Chuck designs each plan of care based on your unique presentation, whether you’re working toward standing, transfers, improved wheelchair mobility, or reducing spasticity. Every session is built to support meaningful, achievable progress.

Comprehensive Workouts and Repetition

Repetition is key to neuroplasticity and regaining function. Sessions with Dr. Chuck focus on purposeful movement patterns and muscle activation tailored to your abilities. Building strength, cardiovascular endurance, and overall fitness is a priority—not just for mobility but also for long-term health.

Mobility Solutions

The right mobility equipment can dramatically improve independence and quality of life. Dr. Chuck works collaboratively with local mobility specialists to help you trial, select, and fit devices such as wheelchairs, orthotics, or transfer aids. He provides guidance throughout the process to ensure the equipment meets your functional and environmental needs.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)

NMES can be an effective tool to address both weakness and spasticity in individuals with SCI. By stimulating peripheral nerves to produce muscle contractions, NMES can help retrain movement patterns, build strength, and reduce tone. Dr. Chuck integrates NMES into sessions when appropriate to enhance functional outcomes.

Enhancing Balance and Coordination

Many individuals with SCI experience impaired balance and coordination, even at higher functional levels. Dr. Chuck incorporates balance training into your rehab program to help reduce fall risk and improve your ability to safely engage in daily tasks. These exercises are always adapted to your current level and goals.

Spinal cord injury rehab is never one-size-fits-all. With Mobile Physio, Dr. Chuck provides expert, in-home therapy designed to meet your needs and help you move forward with strength, strategy, and support.
