SCVMC Opens "The Movement Center" Adaptive Fitness Program

Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCMVC) has opened an adaptive fitness program for individuals in the community who are living with spinal cord injuries, “The Movement Center”.

The program is initially being offered at no cost to participants due to the generous support from a Craig Neilsen grant.

Participants have the opportunity to utilize accessible resistance and cardiovascular equipment including the HUR exercise equipment, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) cycles and standing frames.

The program is open Monday-Friday from 3:30pm-7:30pm and is located in the outpatient therapy gym at SCVMC on the 1st floor of 751 S. Bascom Ave. San Jose, CA. Participants will need a current referral from their physician or physical therapist to participate in the program. Although there will be trained staff available to answer questions, participants need to either be independent with performing their exercise routine or bring a caregiver with them to assist.
