We are an innovative adaptive fitness, rehabilitation, and learning center based in Shelton, Connecticut.

In addition, we assist with relearning new and better ways for your favorite recreational activities, as well as, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and cognitive function.

Our services and support are available year-round and are deeply discounted to be affordable to all. Moving With Hope is the only organization in the USA that offers this level of support.

Moving With Hope:

The Physical Rehabilitation Clinic That’s Changing Lives Throughout Fairfield And New Haven County, CT

COVID Protocol

Physical injuries and mobility loss from accidents, stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's, MS, and TBI impact hundreds of people in America everyday. Many times our loved ones are left with increased dizziness, pain, fear of falling and weakness. Your entire family may feel as though there is no hope for your loved-one returning to the life they once lived. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Know that there is HOPE.

Moving With Hope is the physical rehabilitation clinic that works tirelessly to get you or your loved-one moving again. We seek to get our clients back to feeling their best and regaining health and independence. We are committed to our mission of empowering survivors, strengthening communities, and giving hope.

CDC guidelines have changed; however, due to increased activity of the COVID-19 variant throughout the country, anyone using our facility must be fully vaccinated. Vaccinated guests, at their own discretion, may choose to not wear a mask. Please bring your vaccination documentation with you.

Stories of H.O.P.E.

"MWH has answered one of my prayers."

-Keita, fall survivor, Moving With H.O.P.E. since 2018

Keita lost 14 years of her life looking for affordable rehab. A month after her accident, Keita’s therapy benefits dropped dramatically. Years later, she moved to Florida for a clinical research trial. She saw some progress, but the cost of living was too high and transportation was difficult, so Keita returned to Bridgeport to be with her family. She had little to no rehab for nearly a decade. 

Keita found MWH in 2018. “I want to stand, fall in love, have my own house, and live a happy, normal life,” she says. “MWH is helping me reach these goals. They are one of the best nonprofits going.” Learn More >>
