Expert Spinal Cord Injury Physical Therapy in Charlotte, NC

We operate outside the traditional insurance model to eliminate limitations on your care. This means no caps on session frequency, duration, or techniques used. We're a cash-based practice, which allows us to provide the intensive, specialized therapy you need for as long as you're making progress. Many clients find this approach more cost-effective long-term than insurance-limited programs that end prematurely.

Every session at Revive is a full hour of one-on-one time with a Doctor of Physical Therapy—no assistants, no shared time. Session frequency is customized to your goals and availability. Many spinal cord injury clients benefit from 2-3 sessions per week initially, with the flexibility to increase or decrease based on your progress. Unlike traditional therapy, you decide how long to continue treatment.

Five key differences: (1) Every visit is one-on-one with a DPT specializing in neurological recovery, (2) No insurance limitations on amount of therapy, (3) All sessions performed outside wheelchair in weight-bearing positions, (4) Integration of advanced technologies like FES, NMES, and harness training systems, (5) We believe recovery continues beyond traditional 'plateaus'—neuroplasticity doesn't have an expiration date.

We integrate Activity-Based Therapy techniques including: Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) using RT300 arm/leg cycles, body-weight supported harness training for walking practice, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), treadmill and overground walking programs, vibration plate therapy, hands-on manual therapy, and progressive strength and endurance training. Our team holds specialized certifications in Lokomat, ReWalk, and FES systems.

Absolutely. We founded Revive specifically because traditional medical systems give up too soon. Neuroplasticity—your nervous system's ability to reorganize and create new pathways—continues for years after injury. With consistent, intensive, specialized therapy using advanced techniques, many of our clients achieve gains they were told weren't possible. We've worked with individuals months and even years post-injury who continue making meaningful progress.
