NextStep Kansas City

NextStep Kansas City

Specializing in paralysis recovery through the use of Activity-Based Therapy interventions.

Opened to the public in May of 2008, NextStep Kansas City provides lifelong health and recovery for people living with paralysis. Today, most of these individuals are deprived of the resources they desperately need to continue their recovery efforts and live as independently as possible. Based in Overland Park, KS, NextStep Kansas City is a state-of-the-art paralysis recovery center, that is dedicated to meeting your recovery needs with cutting-edge training techniques.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our client, De.

De was dedicated to working toward his recovery and spent 5 days a week at our facility pushing toward his goals. Things sure have felt quieter around here without him and his wife Sue keeping us on our toes.

Please keep his family in your thoughts during this time. πŸ’š

Warning: Long Post Ahead (but it's worth it, promise!)

What a difference 2 years can make! To say you wouldn't recognize the guy who came through our doors in April of 2022 would be a bit dramatic, but in some ways it's true. When Skyler first started, he was a quiet, reserved and no nonsense kind of guy. ​Little did we know that he was filled with endless dad jokes and a ​kindness for helping others take on the challenges that can come with a​ spinal cord injury.

Skyler also hit many physical milestones with us! He went from not being able to fully hold a lock out on the total gym to an unassisted stand for over 6 minutes, initiating and taking steps without trainer assistance and started driving! We are so proud of all the hard work he has put in here.

If you made it this far, please help us in wishing Skyler the absolute best of luck as he takes his journey to Law School this fall in Nebraska! We are so proud of the accomplishments he's made and can say with 100% certainty that we are better trainers for having worked with him. GOOD LUCK! We will miss you around the facility, but we are excited to see where this next chapter takes you!
