Defy the Odds & Triumph

About Us

We work with people who have become paralyzed following a severe injury or illness, by enhancing the connection to their nervous system, so that they may move, feel, function and walk again. Our facility, The Abilities Recovery Center, in Los Angeles California, offers specialized fitness programs combined with cutting edge equipment that allows our clients access to the essential standing exercises, and to safely learn how to walk again.

Activity Based Exercises

Activity Based Exercise

Activity Based Exercise is a one-on-one session with a specialist ranging from one to three hours. These sessions are physically demanding and combine many modalities devised from the functional goals determined between the client and specialist.

FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION

Functional Electrical Stimulation

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a well established technique that uses pulses of electrical current to stimulate peripheral nerves (the "lower motor neurons" that connect the spinal cord muscles) generating muscle contractions and patterned muscle activity.

Gait Training

For ambulating clients a more conventional gait analysis and re-training will be completed with a focus on returning to a natural and efficient gait.

What our clients say

"After suffering a spinal cord injury 8 years ago, I have attended multiple rehabilitation and treatment centers. None compare to the training and atmosphere of ARC. The progress I’ve made since working with the trainers Jeff and Leanne has given me hope and I look forward to what the future has to offer."

"The staff at ARC are very innovative in their approach to therapy. Their knowledge, motivation and dedication to their clients is amazing! We have travelled from Michigan, TWICE in 3 months, just to work with them! They get results! This is where you need to be for the best chance at recovery, I will always be grateful for them."

"In the almost year and a half that my son Shaun has been working with these trainers, I have seen a great improvement in him. Working with these dedicated, loving, caring, compassionate and funny trainers has been a HUGE plus to his almost 11-year journey of traumatic brain injury. Once with them, he is out of his wheelchair and doing herculean things. Thank you, Jeff and Leanne. We look forward to a long association, friendship and more miracles."

"Best team of trainers who care about every one of their clients and families. My son is making milestones in his recovery, he's challenged and loves every minute of it. This is the place to be for recovery!"

"Working with Jeff has been a life-changing experience. I've seen so much growth in my strength, flexibility and mobility. Jeff is creative, a great motivator, and very driven to get the best out of his clients. I look forward to working with him every week and continuing to make these great gains."

"After suffering a spinal cord injury 8 years ago, I have attended multiple rehabilitation and treatment centers. None compare to the training and atmosphere of ARC. The progress I’ve made since working with the trainers Jeff, Leanne and Garret has given me hope and I look forward to what the future has to offer."

"After the accident I felt my life as I knew it was over. I was scared and unsure if I would ever be me again. Now I feel ARC has given me the opportunity to take my life back one session at a time!"

"The team at ARC have the talent for, and the perception to key into exactly the path my body needs to rebuild itself. Lately, while using their weight bearing walking machine (MAS) I feel a strong vibration of energy going down my legs. It continues and connects my legs to walking movements. I am very pleased with my progress here at ARC."

"I have been wheelchair bound for 22 months. I have tried countless protocols, physical therapy centres, and specialists of all kind. The staff at ARC were immediately very invested in getting me back on my feet. This was the first time someone seemed to actually believe in my body's ability to recover. They got me to realize what my body could actually achieve, and after three sessions I started using walking sticks. Seven weeks later I was in Switzerland taking short walks in the countryside. I am immensely grateful to have found ARC, their approach is unique, multifaceted, and unparalleled in my recovery.
