Kate travelled from Iceland to work with Luke on her FND symptoms including uncontrollable muscle shaking/tremors, involuntary movements, numbness/loss of sensation and difficulties in walking.

”I haven’t felt that side of my calf in a really long time… years for sure.” It’s clear how this loss of sensation and control would impact gait and balance and so to regain this sensation after years is key to unlocking a path to better walking! Kate is able to stand and sit with control and calm. All of this comes from 1 specific spot - often these key areas aren’t obviously related to the client symptoms or history, which is one of the aspects that make FND complex and why a ‘one-size fits all approach’ generally doesn’t work with Functional Neurological Disorder.

A key part of our approach is teaching our clients how to train most effectively to grow and maintain muscle (and strength).

Building strength in this way directly translates into day to day life, helping Suzanne:
* Going down stairs
* Stepping up
* Helping balance dominant muscles to improve walking, gait and balance
* Power in stepping forward and getting up and down from seated
* Stamina especially in walking long distances

We are always looking at the big picture - independence, quality of life and function and translating this into everything we do and teach.
We do not want clients to rely on us, and muscle and strength takes time to build, so giving clients these skills and confidence is an important part of the process. Our team are great coaches - they will break down the methods for training, the machines and help clients become confident in using the gym so they are able to continue the work at home, even if this is brand new to them!

Multiple Sclerosis - what’s possible in 2 days?

Better muscle contraction and control, standing independently, improved grip…!

Lower body: standing independently - Rob and Jamie spend day 1 improving the muscle contraction and control in the glutes as these muscles are so important for power (getting up from seated) then staying stable when stood. Jamie uses a wheelchair most of the time so is seated often, which commonly means the glutes aren’t doing the work they should be. By day 2 Jamie is ready to be standing without the electrical stimulation.

Hands: improved control over fingers - being able to open and close the hands, separate and extend the fingers, at first aided by the electrical stimulation then by day two independently!

Our goal is to minimise the reliance on the electrical stimulation - e-stim can be an incredible tool for improving communication between the brain and body, but we ultimately want our clients to be able to recruit and control their muscles without the aid of the technology.
Days 1 and 2 of a very productive 5 day intensive (more coming soon!)

Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) - learning to use the stairs independently.

The power of coaching: Luke isn’t applying any electrical stimulation here - he is breaking down each part of the movement so Ricky can engage the correct muscles — without any support.

Stairs have been a challenge especially as Ricky’s balance is affected by his HSP — this is a big win! With some key points, Ricky is able to ascend and descend without even using the hand rail.

Our goal is to minimise the reliance on the electrical stimulation - e-stim can be an incredible tool for improving communication between the brain and body, but we ultimately want our clients to be able to recruit and control their muscles without the aid of the technology.

From being able to stand for 15 seconds to nearly 3 minutes!

Notice the moment Kosta is also able to catch himself as he goes to lose balance by using muscles that drive him forward - this is why improving the brain-body communication is so important with Multiple Sclerosis!

Despite what most of the traditional outlooks suggest, we firmly believe (and see, every day) that change and progress with Multiple Sclerosis is possible. It takes specific interventions, hard work, patience, repetitions and practitioners who understand HOW to get these changes, but the narrative is slowly starting to shift.

Ellie (Functional Neurological Disorder / FND) back in July 2025 was struggling after a long period of FND symptoms, particularly uncontrollable movements and seizures, left her using a wheelchair and unable to walk. Specific movements caused her body to convulse and contract, or kick out with power, which was dangerous and destabilising. She was having regular seizures that left her finding it hard to communicate.

Luke and Ellie started the work together on learning to control the movements - Luke needed to investigate the patterns in these responses to start to make sense of how to approach this (this sounds simple, but anyone who knows about FND understands how variable it is, and how little understanding there is about this condition). Together they practice regaining control.

Ellie then is able to take her first steps - a big, emotional moment for us all!

In October, Ellie returned walking with the help of a cane. The ‘in-between’ of these intensives were not linear, but Ellie put in the work to practice the strategies they’d developed together.

Luke and Ellie are able to start to learn how to use the stairs again - a huge step forward. Her body wants to fall back into old patterns but they are able to coach their way through it (notice there is no electrical stimulation here) - this was a huge goal for Ellie who lives in a flat with stairs!
Ellie shares how she’s feeling at the end - using muscles she hasn’t had feeling or control over in years!

2 Days with APEX NEURO (Motor Neurone Disease) working on:

* Hand dexterity and finger control
* Posture
* Leg strength in standing up
* Voice and face (laser therapy)

Nicole visits the UK roughly every 8 weeks for 2 days to work on a variety of MND symptoms. She works remotely via our Remote Support Programme during the interim of her visits.

Nicole’s hands and upper limbs were affected early on, then her voice - we usually work with both the electrical stimulation to aid the facial muscles and our lasers (they are doing their work in the background while Laura works on other areas).

Multiple Sclerosis walking rehabilitation

We start with some support from the electrical stimulation, then Rob and Mikaela progress to walking with no assistance - not relying on the machines is always our goal. After a certain point, when we have improved communication enough, we can transition into walking independently and putting the improved communication into practice.

Rob coaches Mikaela in engaging the correct muscles at specific times. It’s not always perfect - learning to walk never will be - but its about noticing and correcting times where she falls into an old habit or doesn’t squeeze a muscle enough, so she can practice practice practice. We’re tough coaches because we want the best!

Regaining toe movement and control (foot drop)

Foot drop is one of the most common symptoms we see in degenerative conditions (particularly Motor Neurone Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, we work with various different forms:

- difficulty lifting the foot
- drop/loss of control in the toes foot ‘slap’ (slapping the floor)
- specific toe drop (often affecting the big 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.

Sam’s ability to hold his toes up, flex them up and down, and hold the front of the foot becomes easier — at first using a block to aid in the lift, then to holding independently. You can hear the effort Sam is putting in - don’t underestimate how hard this is when the communication has been altered especially if there is muscle atrophy, this takes work!

One of the primary Functional Neurological Disorder challenges Lynn has faced with her is a freezing response, especially when under pressure. Laura starts by working through specific areas in Lynn’s body to understand responses and patterns associated to her FND.

After improving Lynn’s control over specific muscles, Laura and Lynn begin walking independently with just coaching, re-learning how to turn, shift her weight and cross the threshold, changing surfaces and practice regaining control over involuntary movements.
They practice crossing the threshold and also navigating a change of surface. You can see Lynn hesitates but with coaching is able to keep moving forward.
