As well as hands-on physical therapy, we use some of the very latest innovations in rehabilitation technology to help optimise your overall wellbeing and your physical condition.
Alter G Treadmill
Using anti-gravity technology developed by NASA, this treadmill supports up to 90% of your bodyweight while you exercise. This lets you work on your mobility safely and it significantly reduces the strain on your body and muscles, so you can work for longer and recover more quickly.
GMove Suit
The GMove Suit is programmed to compress and release the muscles in the legs. This action can help reduce muscle fatigue and improve circulation, muscle strength and your awareness of your body’s position and movements. It is also helpful in managing pain. Jeanette explains how it has helped her.
Mollii Suit
The Mollii Suit delivers electrical stimulation to wake up weakened muscles around the body. It’s very helpful if your goal is to improve posture, balance or limb control and it can also help reduce muscle tightness, fatigue, and pain.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a common treatment option for chronic pain, such as shoulder or hip pain, plantar fasciitis, chronic tendinopathy, and is increasingly used to combat spasticity. It also benefits post-stroke patients in upper-limb function.
We will be able to offer Physiotherapy appointments with the addition of Shockwave treatment from October.
“I’d given up hope of being able to go on a treadmill again. But the Alter-G has changed that. It feels like it’s holding me up and I can do a decent stint on it without feeling exhausted. I try to push myself to go a little bit further each time.”
