Ectron and Magventure's rTMS Depression Treatment Workshop -'Informative and well presented'
Ectron and Magventure were incredibly pleased with the turnout for the rTMS for Depression Treatment Workshop in London on Wednesday 8th June 2016. The workshop which was held at the The Royal College of Psychiatrists was attended by over thirty psychiatry and healthcare professionals representing both the public and private sectors from across the UK.
Mr. Alex Jones, Director of Ectron made opening remarks and Professor Alexander Sack, Functional Brain Stimulation and Neurocognitive Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, continued with an introduction to Transcranial Magenetic Stimulation for Depression treatment followed by a Q & A session.
Matthias Kienle then presented a practical "hands-on session" with the Magventure MagVita TMS Therapy® system. The only CE marked TMS system available in the UK.
Ectron have received incredibly positive feedback from the workshop with 100% of all responses stating they would recommend Ectron and Magventure's rTMS Workshop to a colleague.
"The combination of lectures and practical demonstrations were excellent"
"Presentation by Professor Sack was very interesting"
"Informative and well presented"
Thanks again to all those who attended our London event! If you would like to register for Ectron's next TMS for Depression Treatment Workshop please email lucille@ectron.co.uk

A New Era of Rehabilitation: The Phoenix Suite Opens at Montagu Hospital We’re proud to share a major milestone for rehabilitation technology in the UK - the official opening of the pioneering Phoenix Suite at Montagu Hospital . This brand-new therapy suite represents a significant investment in advanced neurorehabilitation and marks an exciting step forward for patient care within the NHS. Ectron is honoured to have played a key role in this incredible development, supplying a full range of innovative solutions to support recovery, independence, and improved outcomes for patients. At the heart of the Phoenix Suite is the LEXO , the UK’s first installation of this groundbreaking gait training system within the NHS. The LEXO combines robotic-assisted movement with real-time feedback, allowing patients to retrain their gait patterns safely and effectively - a huge step forward for post-stroke and neurological rehabilitation. Alongside the LEXO, we’ve also provided a comprehensive Tyrosolution setup, including devices such as Amadeo for hand rehabilitation and Omego Plus for cycling and stepping therapy. Together, these systems create a dynamic, gamified environment that motivates patients while offering clinicians precise, data-driven insights. The suite also features the Prokin 252 by Tecnobody, delivering detailed balance and posture assessments, and the Fesia Grasp , which uses functional electrical stimulation to support hand movement and functional recovery. By integrating these technologies, The Phoenix Suite offers one of the most complete rehabilitation solutions within the NHS - empowering clinicians and transforming the patient experience. Such technology, previously only available privately, allows patients to take part in personalised rehabilitation, while still working closely with specialist therapists. We’re thrilled to have worked alongside the dedicated teams at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to bring this vision to life. The Phoenix Suite truly embodies the future of neurorehabilitation: technology-led, patient-centred, and full of possibility.

But this isn’t just a therapy clinic - it’s a place built with intention, where cutting-edge technology meets expert clinical care to support people on their most important journeys: the path to recovery. Where? Set in the peaceful surroundings of Abbey Park in Stoneleigh, the Resilience Therapy Centre is a calm, accessible space created to make recovery more possible - physically, emotionally, and practically. The centre is designed to support people with neurological conditions like stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, or complex trauma, as well as those living with long-term conditions such as MS or Parkinson’s. Every inch of the space reflects the mission: to make rehabilitation more personalised, more measurable, and more hopeful. From step-free access and private consultation rooms, to an open-plan therapy gym full of natural light, it’s an environment where clients feel safe, supported, and motivated to move forward. Technology That Transforms Recovery The heart of the centre is it's state‑of‑the‑art robotic and sensor-enabled gym, offering: Upper Limb Rehab Tyromotion Amadeo – robotic-assisted hand and finger therapy Fesia Grasp – functional electrical stimulation for hand control Pablo System – interactive training for arms, shoulders, and trunk Lower Limb & Balance Lexo – robotic gait trainer for supported walking Smart Gravity 3D – weight-supported movement training Walker View – advanced gait analysis and real-time feedback Motion & Posture D-Wall Elite – 3D movement analysis for posture and alignment Homing Remote Therapy – supporting therapy continuation at home
Tees Neuro Therapy Training: A New Era in Neurological Rehabilitation & Strength Conditioning Since relocating to the newly expanded 4,000 sq. ft. facility, Tees Neuro Physiotherapy are launching a groundbreaking service: Tees Neuro Therapy Training . This innovative program introduces a new dimension to neurological rehabilitation by integrating Medical Training Therapy (MTT)—an approach that emphasizes strength and conditioning to complement traditional neurological physiotherapy. What Is Tees Neuro Therapy Training? Tees Neuro Therapy Training is designed for individuals recovering from neurological conditions who are ready to take their rehab to the next level—or maintain their health and mobility long-term. It’s ideal for patients who want to build upon the gains they’ve made in physiotherapy or those who are transitioning into more independent exercise but still need specialist support. At the heart of this service will be the UK's first centre to offer a suite of Tyromotion MTT devices, (including the LEXO , Amadeo , Myro and Tyrostation ) engineered for disabled access and neuro-rehab settings. These state-of-the-art tools offer a safe, adaptive, and empowering way to train—an option that simply isn’t available in standard gyms. They will be the first in the UK to house this kit which uniquely works by using compressed air for strength training rather than weights. An absolute game changer for exercise!
