We had a great time visiting PERFORMANCE DAYS in Munich this week. It was incredibly insightful to explore the latest advancements in performance textiles, sustainable materials, and smart fabric technologies. Events like this provide valuable insights into emerging material innovations in textiles and material science that could enhance comfort, durability, and functionality in healthcare applications, such as our very own Dynamic Movement Orthoses (DMO).

It was interesting to see how developments in performance wear — from antimicrobial and moisture-managing fabrics to eco-conscious coatings and biocompatible fibres are driving innovation in performance textiles. We are always looking for new processes, materials and methods to help us deliver the maximum amount of care for our patients.

A big thank-you to all the exhibitors and organisers for an informative and forward-thinking event.

Our team of Clinical Specialists work with private clinics, physiotherapists and orthotists all over the UK to provide Dynamic Movement Orthoses (DMO) to patients with musculoskeletal, neurological and genetic conditions.

One of our partners, Positive Steps Physiotherapy , took the time to describe how we work together to help patients in need of an orthosis.

It's World Spine Day!

For over 20 years, we’ve been working with patients with conditions such as Scoliosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Spina Bifida. We’ve also seen firsthand how early intervention and ongoing support can help reduce the development and impact of spinal issues for our patients with Cerebral Palsy.

Our team of clinical experts work with patients to find a solution that’s right for them. One such patient is Jakov who was four when he first visited us for a DMO suit to manage his Scoliosis.

Jakov’s mother, Verdana says:
“The suit improves Jakov’s posture and agility, it has made a big different to his life allowing him much greater freedom of movement and we have also noticed that he is much more confident, it has freed him to move however he likes, and he can now do whatever activity he wants.”

It's vital we all take care of our spines, and if you have a condition mentioned or think our Dynamic Movement Orthoses could work for you, then visit our website for more customer stories and further information at www.dmorthotics.com

Today is World Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day!

One person with Cerebral Palsy we had the pleasure of meeting was Ben.

Ben is a young man who loves watching Rugby and has been using his DMO suit for over a decade. When he was a baby, Ben was diagnosed with Asymmetric Cerebral Palsy with Dystonia, which causes symptoms like high muscle tone in his arms and legs, and low tone in his trunk— limiting his ability to sit unaided.

Today, Ben’s suit helps to maintain his spinal posture and increase his head control, which helps him to scoff his favourite pasta!

Orthoses can play a significant part in supporting people with Cerebral Palsy, including our own Dynamic Movement Orthoses (DMO). Our team of trained clinicians have a combined total of over 250 years’ experience in neurological, musculoskeletal and genetic conditions, helping thousands of patients for the last 20 years.

Since he was two years old, Ben has been using our Dynamic Movement Orthoses (DMO) Suits to help manage the symptoms of Cerebral Palsy. Ben’s DMOs have helped in a variety of ways such as dampening down dystonic movements, posture support and head control.
