Mark popped by Neilsen for a visit recently and showed off his skills by running up the stairs! He recalls them 'looking like Mt. Everest' the first time he climbed them in rehab. We are so proud of you! #nrhgrads

(1/5) Meet Tim Shaffer, one of our incredible spinal cord injury survivors.  On September 4th, 2023, a mountain bike crash changed his life forever.  Follow along as we share his story and some of his insights from his journey.

(2/5) Tim was riding on a trail he is very familiar with and went over the handlebars after falling short on a double jump. He was immediately in pain and could not move either of his legs. Follow along with us tomorrow as we share Tim's rehabilitation journey with us!

(3/5) Tim spent 32 days with us at Neilsen Rehab and made fantastic progress during his stay. I truly did not expect to regain as much sensation and motor function as I did, but I think my team did and the therapists pushed me to find it.

(4/5) Tim's recovery continued once he returned to Idaho. He came to his first PT/OT appointment in his wheelchair and by January was able to walk with trekking poles and regained his driving privileges. #uofuhealth #reimaginereinventrebuild #scirehab #mtbaccident

Michelle spent time with us a few months ago to recover from a surgery and had plans to get a puppy after she discharged. To help her get ready, her therapy team not only practiced in the gym, but put together an outing to try the real thing. Her OT brought her pup to the park!

After suffering a C6 SCI during a dirt biking accident, Kaden was able to spend some of his therapy time in our mobility garage working on his bike, one of his favorite things. Amidst the demands of recovering, Kaden was able to look forward to doing one of his favorite hobbies.
