About Project Walk New England
Project Walk New England is a premier Activity-Based Recovery Center specializing in neurological rehabilitation for individuals living with paralysis and other neurological conditions. Unlike traditional therapy, our mission is to help people maximize their recovery through intensive, activity-based exercise programs that promote neuroplasticity—the nervous system's ability to adapt, heal, and regain function.
We work with individuals affected by:
- Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
- Stroke
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Cerebral Palsy (CP)
- Parkinson's Disease
- Transverse Myelitis
- Other neurological disorders
Our team believes recovery doesn't stop after traditional therapy ends. Through repetitive, task-specific training, standing, walking, balance activities, strength training, electrical stimulation, robotic gait training, and functional movement, we help our clients achieve goals they never thought possible.
Every day at Project Walk is an opportunity to change someone's life.
