Those transfers can be AWKWARD.

This book was developed from years of trial, error, problem-solving, and asking better questions about SCI recovery.

Not just: “What exercises should we do?" …but:
〰️How do we create better movement quality?
〰️How do we reduce compensation?
〰️How do we help someone reconnect to their body after paralysis?

💥From the Ground Up organizes the process of recovery after SCI.

Inside:
👉 our signature Framework for SCI Recovery
👉 Recovery mindset and approach to healing
👉 assessment strategies & programming considerations
👉 over 100 pages of exercise progressions with setup details, modifications, compensations & coaching cues

Whether you’re navigating SCI yourself or working with someone who is — this is the resource we wish existed when we started.

📖 Available in print + e-Book format (Apple & Google Play).

If any of that resonates with you, you're in the right place.

1️⃣ Standing and walking are lower on the priority list than you might think.
👉 Have conversations with your clients.
👉 Read between the lines to find what they really care about.

2️⃣ You don't need fancy/expensive equipment to offer a great neuro rehab program.
👉 Foundational exercises on the floor can be challenging enough! + it's what most people need anyways.
👉 Make your program more affordable and accessible to this already $$ strapped community with intelligently crafted floor-based programs. -overhead!
👉 Invest in your PEOPLE, their/your education - the service and relationships your clients have with the trainers are why they STAY.

3️⃣ There's a lot you can learn from people and movement modalities OUTSIDE of traditional rehab sciences.
👉 Dance studies have taught me SO much about movement generation and efficiency.
👉 Pilates gave me a deeper understanding of movement principles and effective teaching strategies.
👉 Osteopathic ideologies helped me better listen to what the body was telling me it needed - and then the confidence to trust my intuition.

❇️❇️❇️❇️
I've been working in movement/neuro/trauma healing for almost 15 years now - thousands of hours of hands-on work with hundreds of bodies, countless conversations about frustrations, and enough light-bulb moments in my client's sessions to drive me to share this work beyond my walls.

Thanks for being here and supporting this mission.🧡

Pilates Push through bar exercises for neuro rehab: start here!

The push-through-bar (PTB) is a great tool for teaching:
👉 shoulder mechanics
👉 triceps strengthening
👉 postural stability
👉 dynamic spine control

🔑 The bar creates a "closed-chain" experience for upper body loading, without the full load. A great way to introduce foundations.
💥 The kick of the spring-loaded bar also offers a great kinesthetic cue for stability! (IYKYK)

1️⃣ Seated "arch & curl" (and parts) — intermediate

2️⃣ Circle saw — intermediate/advanced coordination

3️⃣ PTB presses — start here for shoulder mechanics!

4️⃣ Hanging Cat/Cow — also love this one for beginners

5️⃣ Side Mermaid — harder than it looks!

What makes these exercises effective is the customization to each individual through:
🙌 Spring settings
🙌 Cueing - verbal & tactile
🙌 Placement of the exercise within the macro program

These clips share some of the exercises we discuss in depth in the new online workshop series: Pilates Equipment for Neuro Rehab
👉 a self-paced workshop getting nerdy about equipment dynamics and finding the *perfect* set-up and spring selection for that fluid feeling.
