👣 Walking with CMT Feet – Progress in Action 💙

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a neurological condition that often affects the feet and ankles, leading to high or flat arches, curled toes, weak ankles, and walking changes such as foot drop.

This video shows one of our amazing patients with CMT making real progress after a recent ankle injury. Through a personalised rehab programme focusing on sensory–motor alignment, core strength, balance training, fatigue management, and the right footwear — their confidence in everyday and outdoor walking is growing stronger with every step. 🙌

💙 Every step forward matters.

✨ From reduced arm function to ironing again ✨

When this stroke survivor first came to INTENSE Therapies, their arm was affected by a combination of moderate weakness, reduced fine control, shoulder pain, and hand swelling.

Through our intensive programme of repetitive task training, strength work, and selective motor control training, they’ve rebuilt function and achieved their personal goal—ironing independently 🧺💪

At INTENSE, we don’t just train movement—we train for everyday life. By integrating real-world tasks into therapy, our patients return to the activities that matter most.

Living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth isn’t easy, but finding the right support makes all the difference. After a recent ankle sprain, our patient found confidence and hope with Chandani’s tailored, compassionate care at INTENSE Therapies.

We’re proud to help you stay mobile and manage CMT together—your journey inspires us!

Thank you for trusting us with your recovery and wellbeing.

Ready to start your own path to better movement? We’re here for you every step of the way.

Boosting Arm Function with Electrical Stimulation ⚡

In this stroke client's upper limb rehab session, we used dual-channel electrical stimulation to target wrist extensors and thumb abduction/extension — a powerful combination to prepare the arm for functional pre-grasp posturing during reach.

By activating these muscle groups together, we help improve first web space aperture — a key factor in shaping the hand for effective reach and grasp in everyday tasks.

This patient was also trained to:
💪 Continue exercises with stimulation for maximum effect
🧠 Use mental practice when the stimulation is off to further enhance neuroplasticity and motor recovery

At INTENSE Therapies, we combine specialist techniques, targeted technology, and patient-led home programmes to give every rehab session purpose, precision, and progress.

Functional Task Training for Upper Limb Rehabilitation

This video demonstrates the progress of a patient with right upper limb weakness following neurological injury. In the initial footage, the patient experiences significant difficulty coordinating the use of a knife and fork due to impaired strength, dexterity, and bilateral arm control — affecting the ability to perform a simple, yet essential, daily living task.

Through a structured programme of task-specific upper limb rehabilitation, incorporating bilateral coordination training, graded strengthening, fine motor control exercises, and functional task practice, the patient developed improved motor control, grip stability, and movement efficiency.

The follow-up footage shows the patient using both knife and fork effectively to cut bread — a meaningful improvement in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and independence.

At INTENSE Therapies, our approach focuses on rehabilitation outcomes that directly impact quality of life. By aligning therapy programmes with functional goals identified by the patient, we ensure that rehabilitation is relevant, targeted, and capable of restoring participation in daily activities.
