Mic’d Up APEX: Laura and Danny

Danny visits us every few months and works with us remotely on his Motor Neurone Disease symptoms - primarily his upper body and hands which are most impacted.

In between working on his hand function, upper body mobility, and posture, they have time for some interesting conversations including workplace dinner choices, including microwaved salmon (sorry Laura’s mum!) 🐟🚫🙅🏻

Multiple Sclerosis: leg spasticity

Following HSCT, one of the primary MS symptoms Ashley has experienced is aggressive spasticity in her legs. She experiences sudden jerking movements, kicking out and locking her legs, stiffness and spasms. Working together in the clinic on our intensive Multiple Sclerosis programme, and diligently at home on our Remote Support programme, her overall spasticity is reducing including at night, so she is getting more restful sleep.

Rob and Ashley focus on her spasticity as this has been a block to her standing as the sudden jerk and spasms can throw her off balance, and the tightness in her muscles make it hard for her to engage the correct muscles to stand. As they work, her muscles start to release, which allows Rob to teach her how to engage the muscles to lift and lower her feet, without her body fighting back. This is the foundation for stepping - walking unaided is a goal we are working towards.

Ashley is a star pupil on our remote programme, and since joining has begun to use the stairs again! We will continue the work started together on her intensive at home, including reinforcing the new lifting and lowering of the foot.

Multiple Sclerosis intensive rehabilitation
3 day progress:

Day 1: Drop foot and vision:

Resolution of drop foot and position of her foot when landing, improving Bec’s walking (and eventually running, we are working towards) and minimise falls which have knocked her confidence in the past.

Luke utilised our low level lasers which had a drastic improvement on her vision which had been deteriorating since her MS diagnosis - she didn’t need her glasses on their second and 3rd day.

Day 2: Gait and stair rehab. By the end of the 2nd day together Bec no longer needed help from the electricity, including using the stairs independently.

Day 3: Luke and Bec worked on her grip strength.

All of this is possible with the right knowledge, technologies and outlooks, even with conditions you’re told ‘nothing can be done’.

FND: regaining control over tremors, jerks and tics

*Quick practitioner reflexes needed for working with these FND symptoms* (we accept the responsibility of an occasional punch!) 🥊

Many of our FND clients have experienced involuntary and uncontrollable movements, including tremors (which often get worse with stress or fatigue), myoclonus (jerking/twitching that can impact daily functions such as walking) and tics that come in all different forms.

Rob and Hannah worked intensively to help her begin to regain control over her upper limbs which move in different directions without her control.

One of the most common Multiple Sclerosis symptoms we work with is spasticity.

Many of our clients have tried pharmaceutical interventions with limited success, and this especially common in clients who have had HSCT therapy, who can experience an increase in spasticity, clonus and muscle tone.

We see substantial improvement both in the clinic utilising the Neubie (Direct Current therapy) as the UK’s first and most experienced practitioners, and at home via our Remote programme.

Using Direct Current we are able to help clients manage and regain control over movement without the limitations of spasticity.

For our Remote Support Programme (a first of its kind programme created specifically for degenerative conditions) we utilise a handheld device (smaller than a phone) that can be easily set up and used in any location.

Our goal? Redefine what is possible for individuals diagnosed with all types of Multiple Sclerosis and stop spasticity impacting day to day life!

As Motor Neurone Disease progresses it becomes harder for the brain to ‘speak’ (via signals) to the muscles involved in stability, balance and power when standing.

Here we are working on improving the recruitment of the muscles to help Laura stay stable when she’s stood, and the power to drive up from a seated position (without the help from electrical stimulation) ⚡️

Multiple Sclerosis at 64 years old… lifting more weight than he has in years! 👊🏼

Tony had been told to prepare for a wheelchair by his neurologist. He’s not only now nowhere near using a walking aid, he’s now lifting more than he has done in years, can chase his grandchild and dance with his wife.

Tony works with APEX NEURO for 6 hours every 4-6 months, then carries on the work at home using the Remote Support device (used by Rob in the video) while following a training plan to rebuild his strength and muscle.

We are changing the narrative for MS!

Multiple Sclerosis: USA to the UK for MS rehabilitation 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Jacinda joined us for a Multiple Sclerosis intensive from the USA after many years of Multiple Sclerosis caused decline in her mobility.

During our 10 day programme we covered:

    •    Reducing spasticity which limited movement

    •    Rebuilding the strength and control in her hamstrings (watch her improvement over the course of 1 day!)

    •    Improving toe and foot lift, minimising drop foot

    •    Improving the position of the foot when striking the ground and standing which used to be fixed in a awkward position

    •    Grip strength for confidence and safety when using walking aids as we build up strength

Jacinda now continues the work remotely (she has hit the ground running!) where week by week we will manage spasticity while building brain-body communication and strength we started during her time in the UK.
