Multiple Sclerosis: improving hand function and dexterity
Multiple Sclerosis: improving dexterity in the hands and fingers 👋🏼
Kosta has found it harder to use a keyboard - changes in dexterity and slowing in the fluidity of his movement in his fingers making it harder to type and do fine motor movements. The muscles often spasms and make it hard to control the hands/fingers.
Rob and Kosta work on improving the communication with the muscles involved in fine motor skills and dexterity so Kosta can open and close his hands with

Multiple Sclerosis: Building Strength
Multiple Sclerosis: Building Strength
After improving the ability to contract and control the muscles in the clinic, we transition into the gym to teach Rhyiza the machines and techniques to build muscle and strength at home. Our approach is like a relay race. We do the ‘heavy lifting’ to start the race - getting the brain and body to communicate more effectively. At a certain point, we can pass the baton to the client to build on this work at home (usually via our Remote

Learning to stand: Multiple Sclerosis (progress update)
Judy previously achieved standing independently for the first time (see her excitement on the first clip!) Now the foundations are built, Luke and Judy progress to no help from the electricity - this is all Judy’s body!
We don’t want our clients to depend on the devices we use. They act as a tool to achieve a better foundation (improving the communication between the brain and body) but at a certain point we transition to working without help.

APEX NEURO Review: Multiple Sclerosis (5 day intensive programme) I left feeling more confident and hopeful about my mobility than I have in a long time and already seeing positive changes and real progress. Looking forward to improving more through the remote programme from Ireland.

Multiple Sclerosis: Overcoming foot drop & running again with MS
Multiple Sclerosis: overcoming foot drop & running again with MS. Foot drop is one of the most common symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) we work with. Unlike many aids for foot drop, our clients often progress to no longer needing the device whereas many other options are worn permanently. By improving the control over the muscle, at a certain point the device is no longer needed. For Bec, this took us just a few days (you can watch her progress on our social media pages).

Multiple Sclerosis: Building Strength
Our approach goes beyond just the work in the clinic, particularly when it comes to degenerative conditions like Multiple Sclerosis.
Building muscle and strength is a substantial goal for many of our clients, many of them have never used a gym before, or aren’t familiar with how to train to build strength and muscle. Part of our approach is to teach clients how to train in a way that is going to be most effective in rebuilding strength and muscle.

Multiple Sclerosis (15+ years): Learning to stand independently!
Multiple Sclerosis (15+ years): Learning to stand independently!
Part 1 - we built the foundations (improving brain-body communication) so Judy now has improved connection and control over her muscles despite many years of MS progression. After ticking these boxes, Judy and Luke have been able to move to Part 2 - relying less on the electrical stimulation and teaching Judy how to use her muscles effectively again. Our goal with Multiple Sclerosis clients is not to rely on

Multiple Sclerosis: Leg Spasticity
Following HSCT, one of the primary MS symptoms Ashley has experienced is aggressive spasticity in her legs. She experiences sudden jerking movements, kicking out and locking her legs, stiffness and spasms, which impacts her mobility, balance and sleep. As they work, her muscles start to release, which allows Rob to teach her how to engage the muscles to lift and lower her feet, without her body fighting back. This is the foundation for stepping - walking unaided is a goal we

Breaking through spasticity in Multiple Sclerosis using Direct Current (Neubie) UK leading clinic
One of the most common Multiple Sclerosis symptoms we work with is spasticity. Many of our clients have tried pharmaceutical interventions with limited success, and this especially common in clients who have had HSCT therapy, who can experience an increase in spasticity, clonus and muscle tone.
We see substantial improvement both in the clinic utilising the Neubie (Direct Current therapy) as the UK's first and most experienced practitioners, and at home via our Remote prog

Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS) at 64 years old and told to 'prepare for a wheelchair' by his neurologist... now lifting more than he has in years
Tony (diagnosed PPMS) had been told to 'prepare for a wheelchair' by his neurologist.
Within 6 hours working with APEX NEURO Tony's walking began to improve. After a further 5 days (15 hours) his walking was "almost back to normal" (pre- Multiple Sclerosis). In just 21 hours, he had gone from declining to defying his neurologist's outlook.

Multiple Sclerosis: Breaking through spasticity to improve drop foot
Spasticity and drop foot are two of the most common Multiple Sclerosis symptoms we see. We utilise a non-invasive, non-pharmacological approach to reduce spasticity and break through the restrictions spasticity places on movement. Once the movement is unrestricted by spasticity we can then move onto improving brain-body communication using a specific type of electrical current (in this case, delivered via the Neubie) using our advanced methodology, so we are able to work on r
