🦴 BONE HEALTH after spinal cord injury matters.

After SCI, reduced muscle activation and weight bearing can lead to rapid bone loss—especially at the hip, distal femur & proximal tibia. Lower-extremity BMD may be 28–50% lower within 12–18 months after injury.

So how can we help protect bone? 👇

đź§Ť STAND + LOAD: Aim for ~60 min, 5x/week when medically appropriate. Standing frames, standing wheelchairs & gait training can provide important mechanical loading.

⚡ FES/NMES: Strong muscle contractions + resistance can provide additional stimulus to bone. Bone-focused programs often use 30–60 min, 3–5x/week consistently over several months.

đź§  TSS: May help increase muscle activation during standing, stepping & exercise. Research on TSS specifically for BMD is still emerging.

đź’Š MEDICATION: Bisphosphonates, zoledronic acid or denosumab may be considered by a physician when appropriate.

🥛 DON’T FORGET: Calcium, vitamin D & monitoring BMD are also important.

LOAD IT. ACTIVATE IT. REPEAT IT. 🦴💪

Bone health should be addressed EARLY after SCI—not after a fracture occurs.

Programs should be individualized based on BMD, fracture risk, injury level and medical status.

Even though lots of our patients recieve occupational therapy, the hemiparetic arm deserves to be part of the physical therapy, too. đź§ đź’Ş

Throughout PT sessions, we look for opportunities to intentionally incorporate the affected upper extremity into functional tasks—whether that means reaching, weight bearing, maintaining a grasp, moving out assisting with transitions, or coordinating the arm with whole-body movement.

The goal isn’t just “using the arm.” It’s creating opportunities to promote selective motor control, movement outside of stereotypical synergy patterns, sensory input, and meaningful repetition within functional activities.

Because every task is an opportunity to get the whole body involved. 🧠✨

Shout out to Dr. Lauren Young, PT, DPT, NCS | Spasticity and SCI Specialist for the spasticity management intervention ideas. Last week, our OT attended Dr. Young's "Spasticity Management Without Stretching" course, and this week, she put it into practice!

Having the strength is one thing. Being able to access it quickly is another. ⚡

After neurologic injury, increased tone and sensory changes can make rapid, coordinated movement more difficult—even when isolated muscle strength is there.

This reverse lunge → quick triple extension challenges the affected limb to move quickly and powerfully through hip, knee, and ankle extension as we build toward plyometrics, jogging, and running. 🔥

đź§  Why are we pushing into the wall?

After a stroke, weakness and impaired motor control at the hip can contribute to excessive hip internal rotation and decreased stability during gait.

This modified Captain Morgan gives external feedback while targeting the stance leg’s glute medius, hip abductors and external rotators. Adding movement of the opposite leg increases the challenge: stabilize one side while the other side moves—just like we need during walking. 🚶

We’re not just strengthening a muscle. We’re training it in a way that relates back to the movement we want to improve.

Balance training should prepare you for more than standing still. 👏

Lateral ball tosses challenge anticipatory postural control, reactive stepping, lateral weight shifting, trunk rotation, and coordination—all while encouraging bigger, faster movements for someone with Parkinson’s disease.

The harness helps us create a safe but appropriately challenging environment, allowing us to push balance and stepping reactions beyond what may be safe to practice independently or in a community exercise class. 🔥

Today, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the heart behind Neuro Pro Wellness—our founder, Lexi. 💙

Neuro Pro Wellness is what it is today because Lexi had a vision for something different: a place where individuals with neurological conditions could receive personalized care, continue working toward meaningful goals, and feel supported beyond the traditional limits of rehabilitation.

Her passion for the neuro community, commitment to her clients, and determination to create a space centered around movement, independence, and quality of life have shaped everything we do at NPW.

We’re incredibly grateful for the environment she has created—not only for our clients, but for our team. Thank you, Lexi, for believing in this mission, leading by example, and continuing to push Neuro Pro Wellness forward 💙💪🏻🧠

A little hype video for the BEST crew. Our clients are our WHY. Their determination, grit, and trust is what makes our community so special.

Hey we don’t make the rules 🤷‍♀️

Your PTs and OTs push you because we care 💙🧠💪

Let’s talk about BOUNDING 👟💥

Bounding—powerfully jumping from one leg to the other—is a great way to challenge multiple components of movement at once:

⚡ Single-leg stability — controlling the body during landing and push-off
⚡ Ankle stability — building control through the foot and ankle during impact and propulsion
⚡ Power & propulsion — producing force to move the body forward
⚡ Weight shifting — confidently accepting and transferring weight from one side to the other
⚡ Coordination & timing — sequencing fast, reciprocal movements between the legs
⚡ Eccentric control — absorbing force and controlling each landing

After a neurological injury like stroke, these higher-level skills can be important pieces of progressing gait speed, push-off, dynamic balance, and return to running or higher-level mobility.

Neuro rehab isn’t just about getting a movement back—it’s about continuing to challenge how efficiently, powerfully, and confidently the body can use it. 🧠💪
