Trial Week
Standing Start is one of the most experienced exercise-based spinal cord injury recovery center in the world. We have learned what it takes to succeed. During your trial week, our job is to educate you on our theory, the latest scientific research, our program's physical and mental demands, and how someone with SCI can recover. More Information...
In House
Our In-House program is the ideal program for those that are able to make the required commitment. As stated before this is not a six month, one or two year program. It is a program dedicated to pushing you as hard as possible to recover as much as possible, however long that takes. More Information...
Home-Based Programme
We designed the Home-Based Program for clients that can't relocate to our centre to participate in our program. While this is not the same as being at Standing Start working one-on-one with a certified specialist, it does allow you to perform the repetitions necessary to improve. More Information...
