Revive Neuro Recovery Center - Equip Products
We recently had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Ashley Clark, PT, DPT, the visionary behind Revive CLT, located at 3463 US 21-S Suite 112, Fort Mill, SC 29715, just outside Charlotte. After thirteen years working in a Level 1 Trauma center within the traditional hospital system, Dr. Ashley saw a critical gap in care for Neuro and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients. Three years ago, she took a bold leap and founded Revive CLT to provide a different approach—one focused on true empowerment and independence.
Bridging the Gap in Traditional Care
In traditional hospital settings, SCI and Neuro patients often receive just enough care to return home, able to manage only the basics. Many leave without mastering essential skills like transferring out of a chair or using the bathroom independently. Dr. Ashley recognized this shortfall and built Revive CLT to address it head-on. At her facility, she works individually with each patient to create personalized plans, equipping them with the tools and skills that traditional systems lack the time or resources to provide. Her mission? To help individuals live full, independent lives.
Fit With Friends: Building Community Through Fitness
One of Revive CLT’s standout initiatives is the free Fit With Friends program, where SCI and Neuro patients come together for adaptive fitness and community. Held at a local gym thanks to the generosity of Brendan McNeirney of CrossFit Mecklenburg, the group participates in a modified “CrossFit” workout tailored to all abilities. Afterwards, they gather at a local restaurant or brewery to enjoy each other’s company, fostering a sense of belonging. We’re thrilled to see our friends Jesi Stracham (@jesistracham) of Wheel With ME Fit and Brianna Grace (@bribabe16), Executive Director, Wheel With Me Foundation frequently joining these events, bringing their energy and inspiration to the group.
What makes Fit With Friends truly special is the outpouring of support from volunteers—doctors, nurses, PTs, OTs, and coaches—who dedicate their time to work with these adaptive athletes. This combination of fitness, therapy, and friendship creates a powerful environment for growth and healing.
