Multiple Sclerosis - Using the Stairs Rob has been using e-stim to improve Vlad’s muscle response and control, leading to working on using the stairs for the first time during his visit. Going up and down stairs relies on lower body and core strength, balance and a control of specific muscles. Sometimes, our clients can be their own toughest critics - focusing on how certain parts of the process aren’t quite perfect, yet. But that’s exactly what neurorehab is: a process.

After careful review, we have made the operational decision to no longer accept international cases of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). FND presentations, nuances and causes vary significantly from person to person, and programme length and scheduling need to reflect that variability. In our opinion, the only viable way to approach FND is first with an in-person assessment, requiring at least one visit to the UK before a programme can even be scoped — and even then, th

Multiple Sclerosis GOAL: walking his son to school

APEX NEURO Reviewers frequently highlight the following points: Life-changing Results: Many patients report regaining strength, better walking ability and reduced pain after previous treatments elsewhere have failed. Expertise and Care: The clinical team is highly praised for their extensive knowledge of neuromuscular conditions and their supportive, "family-like" environment. Advanced Technology: The clinic utilizes cutting-edge therapies tailored to individual needs

Multiple Sclerosis GOAL: walking his son to school Alex’s main focus for rehab is around his son, who starts school in September, with the goal of walking to do school drop-off. Rob and By week 6, Rob knew Alex was ready to put everything they’ve built and practiced to the test - walking 0.4miles on uneven surfaces, using stairs and up/down hills to practice the school run. This is the longest Alex has walked unaided in a long time!

Real-world Multiple Sclerosis Rehab: learning to use stairs and walk up and down hills again "Even a few months ago, there’s no way I would have been able to walk down that slope"

Learning to stand with Multiple Sclerosis MS progression over time has made it very difficult for Emma to stand unaided — so this was her primary goal during her first intensive at APEX NEURO. Rob and Emma completed some foundational work improving the ability to recruit and control her muscles, before they begin to practice standing.

Breaking habits in Multiple Sclerosis when re-learning to walk - one of the ways Claire has felt “safer” has been crossing her legs during walking (often this happens as the signalling is weakened in MS) and this pattern of walking has become familiar. All of this is without electrical stimulation- just coaching!

Hip Flexor Control (Multiple Sclerosis) - 10-Minute Difference: Hip flexor strength and control (Multiple Sclerosis) — one of the most common areas we work with is the hip flexors which play an important role in lifting the leg. At first, Ian’s range of motion / height in the lift is limited. With 10 minutes of work, we achieve a significant improvement in the range of motion and his ability to lower the leg back down. Even Ian is surprised when he sees the footage played b

Training to rebuild strength and muscle is a significant component of our Multiple Sclerosis approach - we believe it IS possible to regain strength and build muscle with the right methods - at any age, with any level of prior experience, including Tony - Multiple Sclerosis at 64 years old… lifting more weight than he has in years despite being told to 'prepare for a wheelchair' by his neurologist.

Multiple Sclerosis foot drop - regaining lift and control in the toes | Often foot drop is ‘treated’ (worked around) with an FES (functional electrical stimulation) brace/device but for many this either doesn’t work, is too painful, or they do not want to rely on wearing a device/brace. Using a specific type of electrical current, we are able to stimulate the nerves to help the brain and body communicate more effectively.

“I was diagnosed with PPMS in 2021 and, before coming to Apex Neuro, I could hardly walk without a cane or other support, sometimes needing a wheelchair. After this week, I truly remembered what it feels like to walk again."

“I’ve always been fiercely independent, it’s nice to have that feeling of control” - the emotional moment Beth feels she is regaining control after years of decline with Multiple Sclerosis, complete with a few happy tears.

Transverse Myelitis: Real World Rehab After working on Nikita’s balance and muscle control in the controlled environment of the clinic, Luke takes her outside into the ‘real world’ to practice navigating daily obstacles - changes in surfaces, tripping hazards, uneven stairs, distractions etc. We believe in ‘full spectrum’ rehab wherever possible, not just staying in the clinic where the floors are flat, there are limited distractions and things feel ‘safe’ but testing the
