NASHVILLE, TN - Healing Innovations, a Nashville-based medical technology company specializing in rehabilitation robotics, announces a significant expansion of its system-wide partnership with Ernest Health, one of the nation’s leading inpatient rehabilitation healthcare companies. Over the course of 2025 and first quarter of 2026, twenty-one Ernest Health facilities have completed deployment and clinical training with the Rise&Walk® InClinic, bringing the total number of Ernest Health locations utilizing the technology to 30+ hospitals across the country.

This milestone reflects the deepening trust between Healing Innovations and Ernest Health, a network known for delivering high-quality, patient-centered inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation. Ernest Health’s hospitals serve patients recovering from stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other complex neurological and orthopedic conditions—the populations the Rise&Walk is designed to support. This expansion marks a major step toward the complete system-wide adoption of the technology across 13 states, enabling a standardized approach to high-repetition, evidence-based gait therapy at scale and reinforcing Ernest Health’s focus on advancing rehabilitation through innovative, clinically grounded solutions.

The Rise&Walk is the world’s first 3-in-1 rehabilitation station, combining robotic-assisted gait training, seated reciprocal stepping, and standing balance support in a single, compact system. Designed specifically for inpatient rehabilitation workflows, the Rise&Walk enables one clinician to deliver intensive, high-repetition stepping practice - producing between 1,500 and 2,000 steps per session, while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety. This level of repetition is essential for promoting neuroplasticity and accelerating functional recovery.

“Ernest is one of the most innovative and patient-focused networks we've had the privilege of working with. Their team is willing to think outside the box to improve outcomes, and that mindset has shaped how we deliver the Rise&Walk,” said Luke Benda, CEO of Healing Innovations. Launching and integrating new technology is never easy, and doing it nationwide while continuing to produce fantastic clinical outcomes is a testament to the skill and culture of Ernest's team. We are incredibly proud of this partnership, and we look forward to continuing to grow alongside Ernest Health as they raise the bar for inpatient rehabilitation.”
