Helping you to help yourself

If you or a relative have had a stroke, then you know the long term problems that can occur. Thanks to great advances in acute medical care many more people survive having a stroke than in the past.

However far too many people leave hospital and go home and find that their follow up rehabilitation, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy services are often not as good as they could be and don't last for very long.

You can help yourself with muscle stimulation. You can use our modern, well designed and easy to set up stimulators at home to gently exercise your problem areas.

If you have difficulty moving your arm or leg our stimulators will get your muscles moving and stimulate your brain to find a way round the damaged area.

The Benefits of Muscle Stimulation

  • It gets your muscles (and also you!) moving again. This helps to reduce the stiffness in your muscles.
  • It makes you stronger. Muscles that you can't use shrink and become weak, making your rehabilitation more difficult. Stronger muscles are important in you getting going again.
  • Over the course of a few weeks you'll notice better movement in your limb often both passive (when someone else moves it) and active (you move it yourself.)
  • Your brain is stimulated when your muscles move with information that arrives via your nerves. This information arriving stimulates your brain to bypass the damaged area and improve what you can do.
  • You often have less pain from your muscles as they are relaxed and you have fewer muscle spasms.
  • Shoulder pain can be reduced with regular use. The muscles round your shoulder are strengthened and your arm droops less, which often reduces your discomfort.
  • Better blood flow to your arm or leg improves your skin function and reduces local swelling.
