Our Vision
A world where movement is a fundamental human right.
Our mission
To provide access to affordable and ongoing physical therapy and advanced technology for all individuals with neurological mobility challenges.
Our Programs
Paralysis can be socially isolating and is financially burdensome. Lifetime costs for spinal cord injuries can total over $2.5 million per individual. In most cases, insurance only covers 50-65% of these costs.
We are the only mobility program of its kind.
What makes the Bridging Bionics Foundation unique?
We provide
- Affordable access to consistent and ongoing physical therapy and personal training at no cost to low cost.
- Access to advanced technologies including whole-body vibration systems and a range of bionic exoskeleton suits.
- Rehabilitation in a health club setting that promotes inclusivity and wellbeing.
- Exercise as medicine. While we believe that neuro-recovery is possible, maintaining neurological health and wellness are essential to optimizing the quality of life. This leads to an increase in emotional and social wellbeing, a reduction in secondary complications associated with paralysis, and a reduction in re-hospitalizations after sustaining a traumatic neurological injury or disease.
- Wholistic program approach, which includes physical therapy, whole-body vibration, exoskeleton usage, and a performance training program.
- Mental health and wellness program provides a bridge to psychological and emotional support around loss of mobility via professional counseling services in partnership with Pathfinders Aspen.
Bridging Bionics
At Bridging Bionics Foundation (BBF), we believe all individuals with neurological mobility impairments can live better through the use of advanced technology.

CNN Heroes: A bionic recovery
Three years ago, Nate White was told he’d never walk again. But with the help of 2018 Top 10 CNN Hero Amanda Boxtel and her nonprofit, Bridging Bionics, today he’s not only back on his feet — he is running, jumping rope, even mountain biking.
We see a world using technology to optimize function and improve life for all individuals challenged with mobility impairments. This simple vision drives us to serve people through our unique programs.
