| Q:
What is your program? |
| A: We
are an intense exercise based recovery program that
works with SCI to regain strength and function below
their level of injury. This includes working with
clients out of their chairs on functional and dynamic
movements based on our techniques and our client’s
goals. We work to improve independence and quality
of life. |
| |
| Q:
How is your program different from physical therapy
(PT)? |
| A:
Most Physical Therapy is a short term doctor prescribed
rehabilitation; whereas, most SCI’s take much
longer to recover. Our program is focused on lifelong
recovery process. In addition most PT focus is on
your strengths, while we focus on a full body recovery
and thus targeting your weaknesses. |
| |
| Q:
How much does the program cost? |
| A: The
cost of our program is $100/hr. This includes one
on one training, as well as additional staff when
needed to perform more difficult activities. |
|
|
| Q:
How many hours a day and how many days a week
would I be working out? |
| A: Typically
our T level clients are 2 or 3 days a week for 2
hours and our C Level clients are 3 days a week
at 2 to 3 hours. We will work with you to put together
the best schedule that fits your needs. |
| |
| Q:
What are the qualifications of the staff? |
| A: All
of our staff carries a bachelor’s degree in
Exercise Science/Kinesiology. Our staff is also
trained in our techniques and methods and goes through
our intense training program. |
| |
| Q:
How long is your program? |
| A:
Our program has no set time line; it is different
for everyone. Some clients are only in our program
for a few months to a year, while others have spent
many years actively participating in our program.
It is important to understand that recovery is a
lifelong process. |
| |
| Q:
What kind of results have you seen with my level
of injury? |
| A:
We have seen positive results at all levels of injury.
However, each injury is so different it is difficult
to predict what kind of results you will see until
we have had some time to evaluate you. |
| |
| Q:
Why do insurance companies decline to cover your
services? |
| A:
First, medical insurance only covers very specific
types of rehabilitation. Since we are not a medical
facility they most likely will not cover our program.
Secondly, most insurance has to put a time line
on recovery and how long they will payout. It
is difficult for us to put a timeline on an individual’s
recovery, since it can take months or years depending
on that individual’s goals. However, our
long term goals are to bridge the gap between
our program and insurance coverage. |
