Rehabilitation innovation
There is a desperate need for better, more accessible equipment to help our most vulnerable and at-risk patients reach their potential and live a full and active life, and a way to ease some of the stresses on the hospital system. We aim to help.
The first of it's kind
The essential physiotherapy tool
The S-Press was invented by a physiotherapist, so that she and her colleagues worldwide could give those patients most at risk of a poor outcome the opportunity of a good outcome and a great quality of life.
1.
Portable, safe and easy to set up
Weighing just 7.35kg, the S-Press is portable and easy to store so you can use it anywhere, anytime. You will not hurt your back manoeuvring the S-Press between patients or setting it up, like some other rehab equipment.
2.
NHS compliant - Tissue viability and infection control
Specifically designed with ZERO pressure on heel area and padded leg rests for compliance with tissue viability policy. Fully enclosed for fast, effective and easy cleaning to ensure infection control compliance.
3.
Bi-directional - full leg strengthening - essential for sit to stand action
The unique combination of leg press and hamstring curl allows all the muscles in the leg to be strengthened therapeutically and effectively.
25+ years experience in rehabilitation and injury recovery
The S-Press was designed by a physiotherapist with 27 years NHS rehabilitation experience, frustrated by the lack of effective equipment available to help her patients. Its aim is to enable access to important, early, progressive resistance exercise, to work and target the leg muscles involved with sit to stand, transfers and walking, the key elements needed for safe discharge home.
“I can see the potential to empower the patient, their family and other staff groups to assist in rehabilitation delivery whilst enabling greater autonomy of exercise outside of structured rehabilitation sessions.”
Gareth Cornell
“It could also help me to reach the gold standard of service that I personally and my directorate/trust strive to achieve by increasing the amount of times patients receive therapy and ultimately provide better outcomes for patients.”
