I am at a loss here

The climbing that both girls do is making me crazy!  They climb all day long.  Furniture, stairs, ANYTHING.  I guess, from what I am told that Macie climbs to help her deal with her sensory issues.  Emma climbs because her sister does.  Emma has mastered climbing on the couch, chairs, entertainment center, and stairs.  She's watched Macie put a toy next to the entertainment center, and use that to get on top of it.  Emma already fell off once and had a trip to the ER.  Macie is an amazing climber, and has some crazy balance and strength, but Emma is a little more clumsy like me!!!
I don't know how to make it stop.  I can't leave the room for a minute to do anything.  I can't go to the bathroom without taking one of them with, or both.  The minute I leave the room, one of them is climbing on something. 
I've tried everything short of selling our house, and moving in to a ranch house with no furniture, but that might have to be our next move.  At least we wouldn't have to worry about the cost of furnishing a new house, right? 
If anyone has ANY ideas to help me with stopping the climbing, I am welcoming anything and everything.
