One of the biggest questions we see at the Enable Centre after a spinal cord injury (SCI) is: “Will I walk again?” For patients, families, and rehabilitation teams, this can be incredibly difficult to predict in the early days after injury. A new study published in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation has found that […]
Movement is often viewed as a purely physical process. However, in early development, movement plays a critical role in shaping the brain. The brain and body function as an integrated system. Every movement a child performs provides sensory input and experiences that support the formation and organisation of neural pathways. These pathways are essential for […]
The Uses of Theraputty in Hand Rehabilitation By: Rachel Nussbaum – Occupational Therapist Theraputty is one of the most versatile and accessible tools used in occupational therapy at the Enable Centre. Theraputty is a pliable resistance material that supports hand strengthening, fine-motor development and functional rehabilitation across a wide range of ages and conditions. One […]

While it feels productive, prolonged sitting can: ● Cause stiffness and poor posture, making your spine feel tight and uncomfortable throughout the day. ● Tighten muscles and reduce circulation, leading to soreness in your hips, legs, and shoulders. ● Lead to […]
At the Enable Centre, rehabilitation is active, science-driven, and goal-orientated. We focus not only on restoring movement, but on unlocking potential through innovation and evidence-based care. The introduction of the HyperShell, a wearable robotic mobility device, represents another step forward in how we approach neurological rehabilitation. What is the HyperShell? The HyperShell is a lightweight, […]
