ARC-EX Is Now Available at EA Neuro Gym: Expanding Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Options
EA Therapeutic Health is proud to officially onboard the Onward ARC-EX device at our EA Neuro Gym on North Broadway in Rochester, Minnesota. This milestone represents an important step forward in our mission to improve function, independence, and quality of life for individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Through advanced technology, specialized clinical training, and strong community support, we are expanding access to innovative spinal cord injury rehabilitation—both for our local community and for individuals traveling to Rochester from across the country.
What Is ARC-EX?
ARC-EX is a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation technology developed by Onward Medical. It is designed to support neurological activation and functional improvement in individuals with spinal cord injury when used as part of a structured, clinician-guided rehabilitation program.
At EA Therapeutic Health, ARC-EX is not used as a standalone solution. Instead, it is thoughtfully integrated into personalized neuro recovery plans that may include guided movement, functional training, and other evidence-informed rehabilitation strategies.
Why ARC-EX Matters for Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
For individuals with spinal cord injury, access to innovative rehabilitation tools can make a meaningful difference in how they move, function, and engage in daily life. ARC-EX represents a growing category of technologies focused on supporting the nervous system rather than compensating for loss alone.
Our goal in bringing ARC-EX to EA Neuro Gym is to:
-
Expand rehabilitation options for individuals with SCI
-
Support improvements in functional movement and participation
-
Provide access to advanced neuro technology within a supervised clinical setting
Comprehensive Staff Training Comes First
Before offering ARC-EX within our programs, our clinical team completed hands-on training with the device. This onboarding process ensured that our therapists understand not only how the technology works, but how to apply it safely, effectively, and ethically within individualized care plans.
Training included:
-
Device education and safety protocols
-
Hands-on practice with ARC-EX
-
Integration into functional neuro rehabilitation sessions
This preparation allows us to confidently support clients while maintaining our commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care.
Supported by Community Advocacy: GUSU Grant Funding
The addition of ARC-EX at EA Therapeutic Health was made possible through a grant provided by GUSU – Get Up, Stand Up to Cure Paralysis. GUSU is an organization dedicated to advocacy, access, and innovation for individuals living with spinal cord injury.
Their support reflects a shared belief that people with SCI deserve access to cutting-edge fitness and rehabilitation technologies that can support long-term health and function. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and commitment to improving lives within the spinal cord injury community.
What Clients and Clinicians Experienced During Training
During our ARC-EX onboarding day, both clients and clinicians had the opportunity to experience the device firsthand. Clients shared initial impressions related to how the stimulation felt and how it complemented guided movement, while therapists observed engagement, responsiveness, and potential clinical applications.
These early experiences reinforced the importance of pairing innovative technology with skilled clinical guidance and individualized programming.

ARC-EX is available as part of our neuro recovery services for individuals with spinal cord injury. We welcome:
-
Individuals from Rochester and the surrounding region
-
Clients traveling from across Minnesota
-
Individuals from across the United States seeking specialized neuro rehabilitation services
Each person begins with a comprehensive consultation to determine whether ARC-EX may be appropriate within their personalized care plan.
