Local Client Program
This program is for clients who live near a Project Walk facility and can come in on a regular basis. This is the most popular program because it gives clients consistent access to our Certified SCI Recovery Specialists throughout the duration of their recovery. As a client’s recovery progresses, our Specialists can refine the exercise regimen and techniques on a day-to-day basis to maximize their potential for improvement. This program is custom-tailored for clients based on their injury and resources. The program is designed to also incorporate the Home Recovery Program for clients when they are not training in the facility.
We recommend that clients use the Home Recovery Program and the Online Recovery Materials in conjunction with their time spent at Project Walk in order to maximize their recovery process. Keep in mind that Local Client Programs are customized to meet the needs of each client. Thus, specific hours and days for each program will be determined based on their needs and resources.

Visiting Client Program
The Visiting Client Program is designed for clients who cannot consistently attend a Project Walk location but still want access to Project Walk’s activity-based recovery methods. This program has the client come to a Project Walk facility for a minimum of one week. During that week, they will work one-on-one with our Certified SCI Recovery Specialists. The client will learn how to perform the exercises that will be most beneficial to their specific injury level and how The Dardzinski Method works to reactivate the nervous system and restore function.
Similar to the Local Client Program, clients in the Visiting Client Program are encouraged to stay enrolled beyond their one-month Home Recovery Program trial. The Home Recovery Program is extremely important to our visiting clients, as it will not only prepare them for their return home, but will give them the support and resources they need to continue to improve when at home.

Train Your Trainer Program
This program is similar to our Visiting Client Program; however, it has the TWO significant advantages that prepare visiting clients for their return home. During your visit you will complete the normal client training hours but at the same time your family member or friend will be trained to assist you in your recovery. While you are training with your Certified SCI Recovery Specialist at Project Walk, your training partner will be working with you and receiving hands on instruction in spinal cord injury recovery with The Dardzinski Method. This will give your family member the basic expertise needed to assist you in your home workout sessions and in your continued recovery.
The Train Your Trainer Program includes the same Home Recovery Program that the previous two programs provide in order to provide to assistance with their home recovery efforts, track their recovery progress and receive monthly virtual support from a Certified Specialist. The Home Recovery Program is extremely important to all Project Walk clients, as it will not only prepare them for their return home, but will give them the support and resources they need to continue to improve when at home.
