Rebuild confidence. Restore independence. Recover safely.

At Greendale’s Neuro and Balance Center, we help patients take their first steps toward recovery — literally.

Our Solo Step Harness System provides a safe, controlled environment for walking, standing, and balance retraining after neurological injury, illness, or surgery.

The overhead track and full-body harness allow patients to move freely while our therapists guide every step — ensuring safety while maximizing confidence and progress.

Our balance specialists fine-tune support levels to match each patient’s strength and ability.

Confidence-Building:

Eliminates fear of falling so patients can focus on retraining their movement patterns.

Comfort-Focused:

Soft, breathable harnesses keep patients secure and comfortable during therapy.
