About
Abilities Unlimited, Inc. is a local 501 (c) 3 corporation dedicated to improving the health and well-being of those in our community with disabilities. This is accomplished through providing an individualized workout program for each client. Our mission is to provide critically needed services to individuals in our community that have been born with, or have acquired a disability due to accidents, illness, or disease. Our clients' disabilities include brain injuries/neurological problems including stroke and multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injuries including paraplegics, quadriplegics, transverse mellitus, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We serve individuals with birth defects including cerebral palsy, hypertonic cerebral palsy, Down's Syndrome, Autism, and spina bifida.
Abilities Unlimited focuses on a Progressive Exercise Program, or "PEP." Individuals previously in physical therapy join to maintain and enhance their levels of fitness. Personal goals range from increasing strength, mobility, and independence, to gaining better range of motion. The program provides peer interaction from others that share common goals and clients receive one-on-one training from our certified staff during their scheduled appointments.
