Read the full story here.
Denise Baron is a Philadelphia-based entrepreneur and stroke survivor.
About six years ago, she was getting out of her car at a grocery store in Cherry Hill, NJ when “something didn’t feel right.”
She relied on a shopping cart to make it through the store, but at checkout she couldn’t open her wallet—and suddenly it was obvious this wasn’t fatigue or stress.
It was something neurologic.
She was rushed to the hospital and learned she had suffered a stroke.
Denise later joked with the kind of clarity only survivors earn:
“Having a stroke is easy… recovering from a stroke, however, is not.”
During rehab, she first used Power Plate at Penn Medicine Good Shepherd—the Penn Medicine / Good Shepherd rehabilitation partnership that delivers therapy services across the region.
Her first time on the platform, she described something that sounds emotional, but is actually a very precise neurological statement:
“My brain just woke up.”
Over a nine-month recovery, her therapy appointments regularly ended with a Power Plate session. And she kept wanting more.
“I always wanted more time on the Power Plate.”
She credits it with helping her manage post-stroke symptoms including spasticity, muscle function, and pain—plus the “whole-body” feeling that matters when you’re trying to rebuild a life, not just pass a test in a clinic.
“Power Plate simply helps me feel better… I get an endorphin rush every time I use it.”
And then the line that should make every rehab-minded person pause:
“My brain fog also seemed to dissipate. Every health institution, gym and fitness facility should have one. This technology improved the quality of my life and made a huge difference in my recovery.”
That’s the human story.
