Therapy & Rehabilitation

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.

This specialist power assisted equipment has enabled me to exercise for the first time in six years and help me regain a more confident post-stroke mobility in addition to healthy weight loss. Anyone waking up from a stroke should have access to this unique and innovative power assisted exercise equipment.

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.
