Our
3-pronged
approach

Whilst our scientists work incessantly to find a cure for paralysis, we have made it our mission to improve the quality of life for people with mobility disabilities through the provision of wheelchairs and rehabilitation.

This 3-pronged approach means that we tackle the issue from all angles, ensuring that we create a sustainable model that provides short, medium and long-term solutions.
