The Rehab Physio opens new Tyromotion technology centre in the Wirral.

On Friday 15^th October, Chris Morden and Alex Jones from Ectron attended the launch event of The Rehab Physio’s brand-new clinic in Bromborough, Wirral. The new centre offers robotics and virtual reality for its intensive treatment programmes following neurological and catastrophic injury.

The new facility was officially opened by Paralympic Medallist Billy Bridge. This was followed by International Speaker, Research Scientist and President of the International Industry Society for Advanced Rehabilitation Technology (IISART), Iris Jakob PhD presenting the latest research findings on intensive neurological rehabilitation with robotics. 

People with neuro/complex injuries, solicitors, case managers, GP’s, Consultants and NHS commissioners were all invited to attend the open day, to help them develop a better understanding of the concept, and the importance of intensive treatment to ensure successful rehabilitation.

The Rehab Physio’s investment in ground-breaking rehabilitation technology with the complete upper and lower limb solutions by Tyromotion will enable the centre to offer truly intensive programmes of treatment. Historically, this has not always been possible due to a shortage of therapists and also the practical difficulties of physically achieving thousands of repetitions without the support of robots.

Christopher Wynne, The Rehab Physio says:

“Our aim is to become a regional and national centre for intensive outpatient rehabilitation after neurological and catastrophic injury. We know from research findings that intensity is key to a successful outcome, i.e., thousands of repetitions per hour, over hundreds of hours for improvements in movement. Traditional physiotherapy (once or twice weekly) just isn’t as effective for this type of injury. Our new facility will offer high quality rehabilitation to anyone with neurological and complex needs in an appropriate form, regardless of budget.”

Following discharge from hospital, financial constraints can often prevent patients from accessing specialist rehabilitation services. This led to The Rehab Physio creating a ‘tiered’ approach which they call ‘The Complete Solution’ this comprises of the technology centre, focused physio and a rehab gym which aims to plug a gap in current physiotherapy treatment.

Chris Morden, Ectron says:

“I’m am delighted for Christopher and Jennifer Wynne to achieve their goal of opening this fantastic centre in the Wirral and developing their new tiered approach. The Tyrosolution will ensure The Rehab Physio patients will receive a truly intensive rehabilitation programme.

The Rehab Physio is the 8^th Rehabilitation Centre in the UK to invest in a upper or lower ‘Tyrosolution’. The Rehab Physio is one of three centres to invest in the complete upper and lower limb solution including the LEXO Robotic Gait Trainer. This makes the ‘Tyrosolution’ and Ectron the number one choice for the UK’s leading neurological rehabilitation centres"
