About NextStep
NextStep is an internationally recognized nonprofit that makes life-changing rehab and fitness accessible and affordable to individuals living with paralysis. Its goal is to open paralysis recovery centers across the country, giving this underserved population a better quality of life and a continuum of care.
Recovery, health, independence
NextStep was co-founded in 2008 by Janne Kouri, who was paralyzed in a diving accident and found that the rehab he needed was out of reach for most people. Insurance-covered therapy often ends long before recovery does. NextStep's community centers pick up where it leaves off.
Certified trainers use research-based, activity-based therapy to help people with spinal cord injuries, stroke, MS, and other neurological conditions keep making progress. Fundraising and scholarships keep it affordable, including support for wounded veterans and low-income families.
