about the design

While in escrow, for their property along the Valley Metro light rail, we were commissioned
by Arizona Bridge To Independent Living (now "Ability360") to conceptualize the site
potential for developing a "state of the art" non profit center to serve the disabled
community within Metropolitain Phoenix.
Since our site conceptions, their property has been developed into Arizona's largest center
for independent living. In addition to space for their organization, approximately 10 other
related non profits share office and conference facilities. Also built and operating is a 12
million dollar one of it's kind sports and fitness center funded by the Virginia G. Piper
Foundation. 
Now Ability360, they initially described their facilities as the "Disability Empowerment
Center of Arizona".

Adaptive Golf
Golf offers people the
opportunity to enjoy a day
outdoors while interacting
with friends, colleagues and
competitors. It is often
where business partners are
forged and where couples
recreate. Unfortunately, for
someone with a disability,
the golf course is not too
accessible.

Ability360 Sports & Fitness Center offers two styles of adaptive golf
carts to accommodate those with mobility issue while at the course.
We offer the carts for a minimal fee for usage.
*Extra fees apply based on transportation to course and distance
traveled.
Paramobile   “Stand Up and Play”
Technology has come to the rescue. The all new Paramobile allows
golfers who are confined to a wheelchair to traverse the links and
stand up to swing their clubs. The Paramobile was originally designed
for disabled golfers, but can also be customized for use in other sports
and leisure activities such as fishing or archery for example.

The therapeutic benefits of the golf game for physically limited players
are immense. It stimulates the metabolism, stretches the muscles,
reduces spasticities and enhances the mobility of their joints. The all-
terrain Paramobile with its patented stand-up device combines
practical know-how with innovative ideas for maximum playing fun. Its
unequalled stability when the golfer is hitting the ball enables
performance that is comparable to those of non-handicapped players.

The SoloRider
For individuals with mobility-impairments, SoloRider has taken the
evolution of the golf car one step further. The patented seat, the
ergonomic hand controls, the repositioning of the golf bag, and the
turf-friendly design have opened a whole new world of accessibility.

On the golf course, SoloRiders can be used in many ways, depending

on the circumstances, the golfer’s needs and course rules. At all
times, respect for the course is expected of SoloRider golfers.
SoloRiders can be driven as a standard golf car according to course
rules and driven on greens and tee boxes

If you have any interest in trying the Paramobile or SoloRider please

Tim Surry at 602-386-4566 or email at [email protected]

Cranial Sacral Coaching

Cranial Sacral Coaching
A light touch coaching session that enhances the cranial sacral
system of the body. This system produces the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
that protects and assists the delicate tissues of our nervous system.

The coach uses gentle touch points and movements at various places
from the feet to the head listening to the rhythm of the client’s CSF,
freeing restrictions in the flow of CSF in the body alleviating tension in
the fascia tissues of the muscles and organs. This can calm an
overactive nervous system by re-engaging the parasympathetic or
relaxation system of the body, bringing alignment and equilibrium back
into the central nervous system.

Who can benefit from Cranial

Sacral Coaching?
Anyone who suffers from PTSD, migraines/headaches, chronic pain or
illness, auto-immune illness, injury recovery, low back pain, SI-joint
pain, shoulder injuries, whiplash, anxiety,
depression, fever in children, braces, plagiocephaly/baby helmet,
primary caregivers, muscle recovery, insomnia, high stress, etc.

What is Private Yoga?

Private Yoga is one-on-one customized yoga instruction tailored to fit

Who can benefit from Private Yoga?
