About First Steps Wellness Centre
First Steps Wellness Centre (FSWC) is a non-profit organization with charitable status. We opened our doors in 2010 and have become the leading facility in Canada for spinal cord injury and neurorehabilitation. We provide innovative activity-based therapy (ABT) for people with spinal cord injuries and associated disorders. We have adapted our methods to provide ABT to individuals who have experienced stroke or traumatic brain injuries, as well as those with other neurological conditions. Our goal is to help improve the motor function of individuals who have suffered neurological trauma or who have neurological conditions, thus improving their independence and overall quality of life.
