FES Loan Service

Posted 12/05/18

At Bristol Neurophysio we recognise the important role that Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) plays for a lot of our clients in their rehab and in improving their function but we also recognise what a big financial commitment it can be to buy an FES unit, especially when an individual isn't sure to begin with how much benefit they will see and how it will fit into their lifestyle.

We're currently in the midst of getting more of our team trained up to use FES and we are purchasing a couple of extra units to enable our clients to trial them at home before deciding whether to purchase their own unit or not.

We hope to be able to start offering this loan service over the summer so if you're interested then please do get in touch.

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!
