December 22, 2009 2:36 pm

Pushing Boundaries, a Redmond-based, non-profit organization providing intensive exercise therapy to people with paralysis, has announced plans for leasing an additional 1,200 square foot space to support the organization’s continued growth.

The expansion will give Pushing Boundaries clients and staff a 3,800 square foot facility that will create job opportunities and provide countless more hours of service to the community.

“I remember when it used to be just me and maybe one other person exercising at the same time. Today, Pushing Boundaries has so many people utilizing their services that there is not enough space for everyone. It is great to see the expansion and growth,” said Pushing Boundaries client Steve Gross.

This new square footage will make room for several new pieces of adaptive exercise equipment that will contribute to the organization’s already comprehensive collection. The space will provide additional office space and allow Pushing Boundaries to bring the dream of a comprehensive Paralysis Resource and Support Center to reality.

“This last year has been so exciting for Pushing Boundaries and I’m especially grateful to all of our supporters, clients and staff for making this expansion possible, even in this economy,” said executive director Tricia Lazzar. “This expansion is part of our company’s continued success and will benefit our clients and staff in so many ways.”

Pushing Boundaries provides intensive exercise therapy that strengthens and supports people living with paralysis and their families to maximize health and improve quality of life. The organization serves the entire Puget Sound community from its Redmond location at 4162 148th Ave. NE.

The therapy center is outfitted with state-of-the-art exercise equipment and a team of committed exercise therapists.

Pushing Boundaries continues to grow and develop its clients, equipment, and rehabilitation programs finding new ways to help those in the recovery process, as well as their caregivers.
