🧠 **World Stroke Day 2026**

Today we recognise everyone affected by stroke — those living with its effects, their families and carers, and the rehabilitation professionals supporting them throughout their recovery. 💙

Stroke rehabilitation is different for every person. Having access to the right rehabilitation, with opportunities for meaningful, intensive and repetitive practice, can play an important part in helping people work towards their goals.

At Thor Assistive Technologies, this is why we do the work we do.

We want to help rehabilitation teams access and confidently use technology that complements their clinical skills and gives patients more opportunities to practise, participate and progress.

Technology isn't about replacing therapists or traditional rehabilitation. It's about adding another tool to the rehabilitation toolbox and creating more possibilities for both patients and clinicians.

On World Stroke Day, we're reminded that behind every piece of rehabilitation technology is a person working towards something that matters to them. 💙

🇮🇹 Thor on Tour in Milano!

A busy few days for the Thor team exploring some of the latest developments in neurological rehabilitation technology.

We had the opportunity to visit rehabilitation centres, meet clinical teams and spend time with our technology partners — seeing developments across robotics, gait rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation being used in real clinical environments. 🤖

For us, these trips are about much more than seeing new technology. They're an opportunity to learn from different clinical models, share experiences and have meaningful discussions about the opportunities and challenges of integrating technology into everyday rehabilitation.

It was also great to continue developing our relationship with David Hurley, who joined us for the trip. The time together was really well spent, with some valuable discussions, shared perspectives and plenty of ideas around rehabilitation technology, clinical practice and where the sector is heading.

We've certainly come home with lots to think about — and some exciting developments that we'll be sharing more about soon! 👀

A huge thank you to Michelle Marie Jimenez, Gianluca Guizzetti and their teams, and to all the clinicians who welcomed us and generously shared their time and experience.

Grazie Milano! 🇮🇹

💙 Happy World Physiotherapy Day!

Today we’re celebrating all the fantastic physiotherapists we have the privilege of working, training and learning alongside.

One of our favourite parts of what we do at Thor is spending time with therapy teams — sharing ideas, exploring rehabilitation technology and, most importantly, looking at how it can be used meaningfully with patients.

Here are just a few snapshots from some of our training sessions over the past year. 📸

Technology can provide some amazing opportunities, but it’s the clinical knowledge, creativity and enthusiasm of the therapists using it that really brings it to life.

A huge thank you to all the physios who have welcomed us into their teams, shared their experiences and asked plenty of challenging questions along the way!

Happy World Physiotherapy Day from Team Thor! 💙

🎉 **A big milestone for Team Thor!** 💙⚡

A few weeks ago, we celebrated a very special first for Thor Assistive Technologies — our **first ever NHS installation!** 🙌

It was a really proud moment for our team and an exciting step in Thor’s journey, seeing our rehabilitation technology installed and ready to support therapists and patients within the NHS.

Of course, installation is just the start! We’ll continue working alongside the therapy team with training, clinical support and ongoing technical support to help them get the most from their new technology. 💪

A huge thank you to the team for putting their trust in Thor, and to everyone who has supported us along the way.

**A very important first for Thor — and hopefully the first of many!** ⚡💙

Time to meet more of the team behind Thor Assistive Technologies! 👋

🛠️ **Meet Stephen Ruffle and Neil Shorthouse **, Co-Founders and Commercial & Financial Directors of Thor Assistive Technologies.

Stephen and Neil are a big part of what happens behind the scenes at Thor — from installing and commissioning our rehabilitation technologies to servicing, maintenance and those all-important technical troubleshooting calls!

With many years of technical experience between them, they work closely with our customers across the UK and beyond to keep everything running smoothly.

If you’ve worked with Thor, there’s a good chance you’ve already met (or spoken to!) one of them. 😊

"Thorsday" News!

👏 Another successful training session with the
ExoMotus M4!

The team at recently received upgraded straps for their ExoMotus M4, followed by refresher training with our Clinical Director, Amy Dennis-Jones.

It was a great opportunity to refresh key skills, share clinical tips and ensure the team continues to get the very best from their robotic gait training device.

Thank you to the team for another fantastic session!
