Physiotherapy using the SaeboFlex
You will initially be assessed for a SaeboFlex by one of our experienced physiotherapists to see if it is suitable for you.
The SaeboFlex will then be integrated into your treatment program which may involve:

The SaeboFlex allows many people with different neurological conditions to immediately begin using their hand for functional grasp and release activities and has proven results. It does however require a high level of commitment from its users in order to maximise results.
