Beyond Therapy Program at Shepherd Center
Transforming your potential for neurological recovery
Shepherd Center's Beyond Therapy® isn't just therapy; it's a catalyst for profound neurological recovery. We integrate physical therapy and exercise physiology, leveraging cutting-edge research on neuroplasticity to help you regain function, strength, and independence after a neurological injury.
Beyond Therapy is based on research into neuroplasticity, which suggests that the central nervous system is capable of synaptic plasticity and anatomical reorganization through “activity-based” therapy.
Conditions that Benefit from Advanced Neurological Rehabilitation
- Neuromuscular disorders
- Spinal cord injury
- Brain injury
- Stroke
- Multiple sclerosis
Our Unique Approach to Care: Beyond Therapy, Towards Transformation
We go beyond traditional therapy by focusing on activating dormant neural pathways and maximizing muscle recovery. Through intensive, activity-based exercises, we target weaker muscles and neglected nerve connections, empowering you to unlock hidden potential.
Unlike traditional therapy, which often emphasizes compensatory strategies, our approach centers on maximizing your potential for neural and muscular recovery. We help you tap into your body's innate ability to heal and thrive, unlocking a future of greater independence and well-being.
