Supporting Therapy & Rehabilitation

Providing exercise solutions to support recovery and quality of life

The Therapy & Rehabilitation Sector

Our range of power assisted exercise equipment has been specially designed for people living with limited mobility, older adults and for those managing long term conditions including multiple sclerosis, stroke, fibromyalgia, diabetes and arthritis.

Innerva equipment allows for AAROM (active assisted range of motion) for end users. Unlike conventional exercise equipment, the Innerva range of equipment does not rely exclusively on muscle power, but by an electronic power system enabling users to work passively or actively, depending on their ability. Innerva equipment provides safe exercise to all the major muscle groups and helps to re-train movement patterns, whilst at the same time stimulating metabolic and circulatory systems.

Where is it used?

Power assisted exercise equipment is used by individuals all over the world in a variety of outlets which include specialist rehabilitation & therapy centres, hospitals, care homes and leisure centres.

Power assisted exercise equipment can be used by almost anyone regardless of age or ability. There is also a large growing number of individuals using the equipment to manage long term conditions and symptoms such as:

 

Stroke
Arthritis
Balance & co-ordination problems
Dementia
Parkinson's Disease

The results have been fantastic, not just the physical benefits for patients but the emotional ones as well. I can’t believe the difference power assisted exercise has made to so many people.

Wendy Edge, CEO, Brain and Spinal Injury Centre

The machines have opened up muscles that have been asleep for 30 odd years. I wish I found them earlier. I've definitely noticed a difference with my mobility and my balance. The different equipment makes it easily accessible and gives users theor independence back again.
