Our Story

The journey from disaster to miracle began in January of 2002. Richard Ayres, beloved husband, new father, and adored son, brother, and uncle was struck head-on by a drunk driver. Suffering from severe head trauma, Rich was in a coma and paralyzed. His family refused to “let him go”, as the doctors advised, and began the process of research and investigation that led them to the Quadriciser®.

The Quadriciser moves all four of your limbs and simulates reciprocal movements of walking while lying in the supine position. This cross-crawl pattern stimulates the brain and improves muscle function. This unique device along with intense one on one therapeutic exercise provided the basis for Rich’s recovery and ongoing progress. Rich’s dedication, as well as his family’s desire to see him thrive, started a process of recovery that could only be defined as miraculous.

After witnessing the advances made by her brother, Gina wanted to bring the benefits of the Quadriciser and one on one therapeutic rehabilitation to others suffering physical disabilities. She especially wanted to help those with limited incomes and whose insurance no longer covered their rehabilitation.

Gina’s vision was the beginning of TheraFit Rehab® for the Disabled, which she opened in December of 2006 later to become known as TheraFit Rehab (TheraFit Enterprises, Inc.).

The Carroll County Times, part of the Baltimore Sun Media Group, spotlighted TheraFit Rehab in its Feb. 28, 2020, edition.
