It’s not just any device; it’s a game-changer for prehabilitation exercises.

Now, we had 17 patients, great people, at an NHS hospital in the UK. They tried this Slider for two weeks. And guess what? They loved it. We’re talking about a 76% satisfaction rate here. They said it was intuitive, easy – just what we want to hear. And 94% of them, they’re saying it’s meeting their needs, preparing them for surgery. That’s almost everyone!

And here’s the best part – every single one of them would keep using it. That’s 100%, folks. No safety issues, no problems. Just great results. We’re going to do more research, of course, but let me tell you, it’s looking good.

So, we’re going to make prehabilitation great, and we’re going to do it with smart solutions like the Slider. Stay tuned!
