At Zebrafish Neuro, we have developed a framework for recovery using established movement practices to make recovery from spinal cord injury a self-driven endeavour with improved autonomy and reduce the financial burden that recovery programs can create.

While floor-based programs may be a no-brainer for those living with SCI, the biggest barrier to entry comes down to the ability to get down (and up!) from the floor in the first place. In this article, we outline how to safely transfer to and from the floor.

We receive numerous questions, from SCI athletes and rehab professionals, in regards to managing high tone - and how we formulate our movement programs for clients with high tone.

Is high tone or spasticity affecting activities of daily life?

Are you/your client feeling tight or stiff after a spinal cord injury?

Is your spasticity management plan ineffective or not as effective as you’d like/need?

Would you like to find ways to manage tone without medication?

using daily movement practices with minimal equipment required?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, please read on!

Barry officially joined the ZN Team in February 2024, first assisting me at the Chicago and Edmonton 3-day Professional Courses. He has now started 1:1 Remote Coaching and has transitioned to a full-time employee as of the end of May 2024. I can’t get too attached to him though: Barry will be working and learning with me through the end of 2024 and then returning to Ireland to start his own brick-and-mortar neuro rehab clinic in Dublin, Ireland. I sat down with him in a podcast interview to share more about his personal background and professional journey in neuro rehab.
