Innowalk

Innowalk Bristol Neurophysio
Posted 09/08/18

Molly, one of our lovely clients had a fantastic time last week trying out the Innowalk at the Gympanzees Pop-Up in Bristol with Kat, her physio.

The Innowalk gave Molly the opportunity to practice standing really tall, use her head control and recruit her glutes and quads muscles when standing.  She managed 600m and even got up to the fastest speed!  Molly and her mum were both thrilled and are planning to return to try it out again before the end of the summer.

For anyone who hasn't been yet the Pop-Up is on until the end of the summer holidays.

Some kind words

Our daughter’s renal failure means that she is delayed with standing and walking at 2 and half years of age. We first started seeing Jules a few months back for an intense block of physiotherapy to build the strength and skills needed for her to eventually stand and walk.  It was really important that the physiotherapist specialised in paediatrics and could work alongside the NHS physiotherapists we also see. Jules immediately put us at ease with her friendly and professional approach and has built a good, trusting relationship with our daughter.  She uses play as a way to get our daughter to engage with the therapy.  Our daughter has really enjoyed all her physio sessions to date and we have seen a notable improvement in her movement.  She has begun to pull herself up and can climb up small steps as well as shuffle down stairs in a controlled manner!
