Spinal cord injury rehabilitation designed for you
For people living with spinal cord injury, outpatient therapy often follows the inpatient experience to continue the rehabilitative journey. Our network of outpatient centers in the greater Richmond area offer physical, occupational, and speech therapy services in order to optimize individual recovery.
Sheltering Arms Institute offers outpatient therapy for spinal cord injury at our Bon Air, Hanover, and Short Pump locations.
Every person living with a spinal cord injury has a unique experience
Our skilled therapists work with you and your family to create a comprehensive program tailored to your individual needs. Therapists provide compassionate care that utilizes advanced technologies, evidence-based practice, and individualized treatments to accelerate rehabilitation and help you live your most independent life.
Our physical therapists blend personalized, hands-on, evidence-based care with exercise prescription, advanced technology, and education to optimize a person’s movement ability.
Our occupational therapists help you overcome barriers to perform activities of daily living—such as eating, drinking, and grooming—while working to improve functional strength and use of your upper extremities with evidence-based care, advanced technology, and education to optimize your independence.
Our speech-language pathologists design treatment plans to address communication, respiration, and/or swallowing skills that may have been impacted by your spinal cord injury.
Within a week, I was feeling my legs and moving them, moving my arms, speaking, breathing without a ventilator, and mobile in a power chair. It was just really nice to have all of that in such a short time and so close to home.
