Multiple Sclerosis: "Training as a Team"
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
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.

Is it possible to run again with Multiple Sclerosis? #apexneuro
Is it possible to run again with Multiple Sclerosis? APEX NEURO
Ashley hadn’t planned on this goal - when she came to the UK to work with us her goal was to walk her daughter to and from school. But within a few days, her walking had improved so much that Ashley and Rob set their sights higher - could she run again for the first time in years?
It wasn’t easy, and (to begin with) it wasn’t pretty! But she persevered, pushed through the doubt and frustration — and ran again!

Falkland Islands to UK: Multiple Sclerosis Intensive Rehabilitation
Re-learning to stand with Multiple Sclerosis: Cyndi travels from the Falkland Islands to the UK (a distance of ~8,000 miles) to work with APEX NEURO intensively. There is no questioning this incredible woman’s determination! However, sometimes her mind gets in the way — she’s spent a long time ‘failing’ and movements like getting up from being seated have become increasingly more challenging as the MS has progressed.

Multiple Sclerosis: Regaining Control in the Hamstrings
Hamstring control impacted by Multiple Sclerosis: the progress is all within the space of a single session, despite the general belief that 'you cannot improve function after decline has taken place due to Multiple Sclerosis'. Erin tests Beth without electric - this is all her, voluntarily contracting and controlling the muscle. At first it’s difficult but with practice she is able to replicate what they had achieved with the e-stim. This will make a huge difference in her wa

Multiple Sclerosis: improving hand function and dexterity

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
