For the past 10 years Pushing Boundaries has been delivering services to people with paralysis that they can’t get anywhere else in the state or region.

Located in Redmond, Pushing Boundaries focuses on regaining function, health and independence in those paralyzed due to illness, injury or other neurological disorders. The organization’s clientele includes those with spinal cord injuries, stroke, traumatic brain injuries, Multiple Sclerosis and other degenerative diseases.

Pushing Boundaries was founded in 2005 by Bellevue residents Allan and Sharon Northrup, after Allan sustained a C7-T1 injury in 2001. After his discharge from in-patient rehabilitation, the Northrups spent two years researching and participating in numerous therapies throughout southern California. The Northrups returned to Seattle, inspired to create a place of hope and health.

Pushing Boundaries’ mission has remained vigilant — to “deliver exercise, health and hope for those living with paralysis, and their families, to maximize health and improve quality of life.

”Every year, Pushing Boundaries provides about 6,000 hours of intensive one-on-one therapy to clients from all over the Greater Northwest, allowing people to take control of their recovery journey.

Community tours and new client site visits are always welcome and can be scheduled by calling (425) 869-9506. For more information, visit www.pushing-boundaries.org.
