Where traditional rehab ends, we begin.
Who We Are
Bridging clinical rehabilitation & adaptive performance.
.png){kind=small}
Karve Collective is a private training studio for people living with neurological conditions. We work one-on-one with people with Spinal Cord Injury, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), Stroke, Parkinson's Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Muscular Atrophy and more, either at our Carlsbad studio or in your home anywhere from San Diego to Orange County and Temecula.
We're not a physical therapy clinic. Most people find us once insurance-funded rehab has ended, when the plan of care runs out but the progress hasn't. We've seen too many people make real, measurable gains well past that point, which is why we're here.
Our trainers have spent a combined 40 years working with neurological conditions, and we're among the few places in the county offering ARC-EX spinal cord stimulation for eligible clients.
Every session is one-on-one and built around what you're working toward, whether that's a safer transfer, more standing tolerance, or getting back on the bike.
What We Offer
Services designed
for you.

Neurological Recovery
Exercise-based recovery therapy for people rebuilding function and independence, built on the nervous system's capacity to reorganise with consistent, specific training. Standing and gait work, loaded strength training, and transfer and functional practice, progressed as your capacity grows.
Adaptive Performance
Training for people who've moved past recovery and want to get stronger, faster, or more capable, built on the same progressive overload that drives any athletic program and adapted to how your body actually loads. Pressing and pulling strength, conditioning, sport-specific work for adaptive sports and competition.
Comfort-Focused Movement
Movement for people living with progressive conditions, where the goal is staying comfortable, moving well, and preserving strength. Range of motion, stretching and positioning work, supported gait training, and pain relief through hands-on release work and percussive massage, all helping to make daily care manageable for longer.
How It Works
Three ways to
train with us.

Studio Training
$125 per hour
One-on-one sessions at our private studio in the Palomar Business Park in Carlsbad. A fully equipped gym with specialised equipment for neurological work, and the only setting where ARC-EX is always available.
Aquatic Therapy
$150 per hour
One-on-one sessions in a local hydrotherapy pool. Water takes the load off, making gait practice, standing, and range-of-motion work possible for people who can't yet sustain them on land. Pool entry included.

Where We're Headed
The Karve Method
.png){kind=small}
Living with a neurological condition usually means assembling your own care out of pieces at a time when you have the least capacity for it. The Karve Method is our answer to that, four pillars that work together as one collective, an ecosystem of wellness built around you rather than assembled by you.
MOVE
AVAILABLE NOW
Rebuild capacity. Neuro recovery and adaptive performance training, including our ARC-EX specialization. This is where most people start, and it anchors every plan.
NOURISH
COMING SOON WITH OUR SPECIALIST PARTNERS
Fuel body and mind. Functional nutrition and mental health support from licensed specialists working under the Karve roof, for the people caring as well as the people cared for.
RESTORE
COMING SOON WITH OUR SPECIALIST PARTNERS
Regulate and recover. Bodywork, breathwork, and nervous-system regulation, because for a recovering nervous system, rest is where change actually takes hold.
CONNECT
IN DEVELOPMENT
Prepare and connect. Through Karve Connect we prepare caregivers and families, so the support you have at home matches the work you do with us.
