“Melanie and her staff believe whole-heartedly that continuing physical therapy can benefit people with all kinds of physical disabilities. I have seen positive results and have great hope for further gains through my work with ExercisAbilities.” - 
“I wouldn’t be where I’m at today if it wasn’t for ExercisAbilities and the friendships I’ve formed there. I’m more active in my daily life, physically and socially. They have helped me become myself again and I’m excited for what my future holds.” - 
“With ExercisAbilities' help, Tom takes care of his own personal cares, exercises 5 days a week to build up strength in his legs and keep his body functioning. Without it, he would simply be laying in a bed and we all know that is no quality of life. Thank you EA for giving Tom a true chance to recover and live the best life he can despite his disabilities at this time.” - 
“ExercisAbilities relieved most of his pain within an hour of therapy. Since then they have helped Don strengthen muscles he didn’t realize he could control. His walk is improving, his pain is now minimal, he is out and about again, and he again has hope. Wow!”
“ExercisAbilities is how it inspires me to never give up, with the endless support of those incredible people. My family and I will forever be grateful for the finding of this place that changed my life, going from despair to hopeful.
Thank you Melanie and team, for making such a difference in my life!” - 
“You can never stop. You have to keep working always" - 
"I would not be independent today if it was not for ExercisAbilities" - 
“I need a place where I feel comfortable. To be myself in order to get better.”

Helping you achieve your physical improvement and health goals is our passion
Our unique process, the EA Health Action Plan, is a roadmap to lead you to reach that version of you that you are dreaming of. Your unique EA Health Action Plan is developed with your personal health and independence goals at the center. Your EA team will reflect on the 6 circles of health, shown below, to develop a plan that includes traditional therapy of exercise and strength AND coaching on lifestyle choices that has historically slowed your progress. Our pediatric program does this by working closely with the family to identify areas that may be impacting progress at home, school, or life and working together to make meaningful changes with their progress in mind.
You don’t have to wait for a medical provider to refer you.
We are here to assure that you continue to be better, feel better, move better, talk better, play better, live better without barriers. Call us first and our care coordinators can make sure that your medical provider is aware of your EA Health Action Plan. Our Care Coordinators will also work with you to explore all payment options including health insurance if applicable. Often, waiting for medical appointments for referrals can delay your care and are usually not necessary. Of course, we love and welcome referrals from any of our medical or community providers on your behalf.
Sounds expensive? Don’t let that stop you from checking us out
