Here’s what we offer:
✅ Personalized neurorehabilitation support
✅ Safe, guided movement for spinal cord injury recovery
✅ Care and encouragement for patients, families, and caregivers

Every journey looks different—and that’s okay. What matters most is that you don’t have to walk it alone. 💜

At Moving With HOPE, we support individuals living with spinal cord injuries through steady, compassionate care that meets them where they are. With Claudia, our Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS), guiding each session, every movement is approached with patience, safety, and encouragement—whether it’s a big milestone or a small but meaningful win.

Using tools like the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill and Redcord® suspension therapy, our team helps reduce the load on the body so movement feels safer and more possible. These technologies are designed to support balance, strength, and confidence, especially for those navigating neurological recovery after spinal cord injury.

For caregivers, we know this journey can feel overwhelming too. That’s why our space is built on trust, understanding, and teamwork—so you can feel supported every step of the way.

✨ When you’re ready, we’re here.
Recovery doesn’t have to be rushed. It just has to be supported.

Strength looks different for everyone—and that’s okay. 💜 What matters most is having the right support along the way.

With Claudia, our Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS), each session is guided with care, patience, and encouragement. Using SportsArt® adaptive equipment, individuals can move safely in a seated position while working on strength, coordination, and confidence. Everything is done at a pace that feels comfortable and right for the person—not rushed, not forced.

At Moving With HOPE, we understand that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Progress can be big or small, visible or quiet. What matters is showing up, being supported, and feeling respected every step of the way. We meet people where they are and build from there—together.

Whether you’re living with a spinal cord injury or supporting someone you love, know that you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. 💜

Every step forward looks different—and every step deserves care, patience, and encouragement. 💙

At Moving With HOPE, we understand that recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Some days feel strong, others feel slower—and all of them matter. With Claudia, our Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS), by their side, each session is guided with hands-on support, steady encouragement, and close attention to what each person needs in that moment.

Using supportive tools like the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill and SportsArt® adaptive equipment, Claudia helps patients move safely, stay comfortable, and build confidence at their own pace. These tools are part of the process—but it’s the human connection, reassurance, and care that truly help people stay engaged and motivated in their recovery journey.

Whether you’re living with a spinal cord injury or supporting someone who is, know that progress doesn’t have to look perfect to be meaningful. At Moving With HOPE, progress is personal—and support is always part of the journey.

✨ Looking ahead to 2026. ✨

A new year often brings reflection, hope, and fresh possibilities. As we step into 2026, all of us at Moving With Hope are feeling grateful—and encouraged by what’s ahead.

Every day, we remain committed to supporting people living with spinal cord injuries and other physical challenges through thoughtful, individualized neuro-rehabilitation and truly compassionate care. Therapy is never one-size-fits-all here. Each session is shaped around the person—your goals, your comfort, and your pace.

In the year ahead, we’re continuing to explore and integrate new rehabilitation technologies that can enhance therapy sessions and support meaningful movement and function. These tools are always guided by clinical expertise and paired with hands-on care, so progress feels safe, supported, and personal. For us, every session is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and keep moving forward—together.

To our clients, families, caregivers, therapists, partners, and community: thank you for trusting us and walking this journey alongside us. Your strength, patience, and persistence inspire everything we do.

Here’s to a year of discovery, growth, and continued care—one step, one session, one moment at a time. 💙

✨ Happy New Year from all of us at Moving With Hope.

At Moving With Hope, therapy is never one-size-fits-all. 💙
It’s personal. It’s thoughtful. And it’s centered on what matters most to you.

In this session, Dave is working on grasping and releasing objects as part of his therapy, supported by ARC-EX® and compassionate, hands-on guidance from our care team. Every movement is purposeful. Every session is paced with care. Progress happens step by step, in a way that respects the person—not just the diagnosis.

ARC-EX® is a non-invasive technology used to support arm and hand function during neurological recovery. When paired with skilled therapy and human connection, it becomes one more tool to help individuals reconnect with everyday movements that support independence and confidence.

✨ Curious how ARC-EX® may fit into your care or your loved one’s recovery?

The holidays can be a time of warmth, connection, and togetherness. And for many people living with spinal cord injuries—and for the caregivers who support them every day—it can also be a time of reflection, adjustment, and mixed emotions. 💙

At Moving With Hope, we want you to know you’re not alone. We support individuals and families with care, understanding, and compassion—during the holidays and throughout the year. Recovery isn’t just about physical progress. It’s about feeling supported, respected, and hopeful along the way.

One way we support neurorecovery is through ARC-EX®, a non-invasive rehabilitation technology designed to help improve arm and hand function. Just as important, ARC-EX® is always paired with hands-on guidance from our caring team, who take the time to listen, encourage, and meet you where you are.

Whether you’re navigating recovery yourself or caring for someone you love, every step forward matters—no matter how small it may feel. Progress looks different for everyone, and that’s okay.

Our Story

Moving With H.O.P.E. (MWH) is an innovative adaptive fitness, rehabilitation, and learning center. We provide essential rehab, exercise, and skills training to people living with moderate to severe physical disabilities. Our services are available year-round and deeply affordable. Nationwide, MWH is the only organization that offers this level of support. MWH was founded in 2010 by Joanne and Thatcher ‘Tad’ Duni in response to a massive void in many of their clients' continuum of health and wellness: regular movement.

Forty years ago, Joanne and Tad both entered professions to help people recover from physical illness and injury. Together, they have served over 25,000 people living with physical disabilities. Throughout their careers — in which Tad founded Connecticut’s first adaptive fitness center and Joanne worked as a practicing physical therapist and administrator — they have made countless sacrifices to help and heal others. They have a real-world understanding of the barriers for people living with physical disabilities.

Since 2010, we have grown into a movement, empowering people to make meaningful progress towards healthier, happier, more independent lives. MWH has searched the globe for very effective, yet affordable, evidence-based rehab solutions and technology.

In 2019, we relocated to a larger facility and added more insurance-based therapies to our existing programs. In 2020, we expanded our support strategies to include more assistive technology, skills, and job training.
