Last week, the team at our MOTIONrehab Leeds Clinic expanded their knowledge on Myofascial Slings - the muscles and connective tissues that work together to support movement.

The training session, led by Matt, explored how these slings function as a system and how exercises can be adapted for clients when certain areas are weaker or tighter than others.

Here’s what our team had to say:

🗣️ “Very useful, planning how to incorporate these into my treatment sessions next!”
🗣️ “I need to book a session with Matt to work on my own slings!”

Great work team!

🩵 Ian’s Inspiring Challenge for the Spinal Injury Association 🩵

Ian, who currently attends our MOTIONrehab Leeds Clinic, has set himself an incredible challenge - a 90ft abseil and a one-mile canoe through the Peak District National Park - all to raise money for the Spinal Injury Association.

In 2023, Ian’s life changed when he was knocked off his bike and sustained a spinal cord injury, leaving him with no sensation from the waist down. He is now a full-time wheelchair user.

Despite everything, Ian is determined to return to doing what he loves, as today he’ll be taking on this challenge!

We’re so proud of his progress and determination, and we wish him the very best of luck!

At MOTIONrehab, we consider collaboration is the best way to optimise patient outcomes.

Tom from our MOTIONrehab Clinic in Hull enjoyed a good catch up on Wednesday with Jen Benson and her expanding team of Speech and Language Therapists.

By increasing our awareness of professional networks and exploring inter-professional working it is a win-win for our patients.

How Robotic Gait Training Outperforms Treadmill Training and Conventional Therapy

🩵 Thousands of steps per session – far more than treadmill training or conventional therapy

🩵 Perfectly precise, symmetrical movement - unlike treadmill training or conventional therapy, where step quality can vary.

🩵 Start walking sooner – treadmill training or conventional therapy is often delayed until the patient has more strength to participate. RGT is possible for early rehab and severely impaired patients.

🩵 Real time data tracking – measure every improvement with metrics including step length, distance and speed.

🩵 Engaging, motivating sessions due to feedback that keeps recovery on track.

That’s why Robotic Gait Training delivers faster, safer, and better outcomes over treadmill or conventional therapy. Discover the difference with MOTIONrehab.

Progress highlight: Phil

Phil was diagnosed with encephalitis in 2023 and began his rehabilitation journey with us at MOTIONrehab Doncaster in June 2024. Since joining us, he has successfully completed two intensive rehabilitation packages.

In August, Phil embarked on his next 8-week intensive rehabilitation programme, with key goals focused on gaining greater independence in daily living activities and exploring his ability to walk.

Phil has already made fantastic progress during his sessions on the LEXO robotic gait trainer, increasing from 615 steps in his initial session to over 1,000 steps during his most recent session.

Keep up the fantastic work Phil! We’ll continue to share updates as he progresses through his journey 🩵
