“I haven’t seen seen that in years” From No Movement to 20 Reps with Multiple Sclerosis (Germany to UK for Multiple Sclerosis Intensive Rehab)
“I haven’t seen seen that in years” From No Movement to 20 Reps with Multiple Sclerosis - Multiple Sclerosis Intensive from Germany to UK
Christian and his wife had been watching our videos for a year and a half before their visit from Germany for an intensive 10-day programme. A major area of focus was to improve Christian’s control in his hip flexors, he explained to Rob that he’s been unable to lift his leg using this muscle for a long time - challenge accepted!
Rob’s using an electrically-conductive glove to stimulate the nerves in Christian’s leg to stimulate the movement. As he finds the right spots to do this, Christian needs to “go with it” - essentially, aiming to engage the muscles, so that his brain can start to re-learn what it’s like to use the flexors.
Within the space of an hour, Christian goes from no movement at all, to 20 reps. He’s also starting to be able to bring the leg back down with more control. His smile says it all - these are the moments we love to see at APEX NEURO, where the dots start to connect and clients are able to begin to do things they thought were no longer possible!
