Quest to Walk is dedicated to helping people with spinal cord injuries improve and enrich their lives through the use of state-of-the-art recovery methods, motivation, and education in a supportive environment.
Have you heard of activity-based recovery? In past blog posts, we have talked about some facilities like Kennedy Krieger Institute and Project Walk having success. Quest to Walk is certified by the Project Walk Institute of Spinal Cord Injury Recovery.
Quest to Walk is a non-profit organization in Overland Park, Kansas that is dedicated to providing a state-of-the-art spinal cord recovery center using activity-based recovery methods. It was started in 2007 by John Teegarden & Thomas Eddy who are both recovering from spinal cord injuries.
Quest to Walk uses up-to-date training techniques and equipment with their patients. This therapy sessions video shows determined patients working towards their goals with different types of exercises & equipment, including the EasyStand Glider. Quest to Walk recently contacted us to tell us about their experience with the EasyStand on our EasyStand Forum, “Just wanted to post how happy we’ve been with our EasyStand Glider! We continue to enjoy using it with many of our clients and frequently recommend it as an important tool for their recovery.”
We salute Quest to Walk and others for their commitment to helping those with spinal cord injuries!
