The technology that did exist was expensive and inaccessible for home use. With inadequate therapy options often leading to unfavourable outcomes, health professionals routinely told their clients that they have \"reached a plateau\" or \"no further gains can be made\". The founders believed that it was not the clients who had plateaued, but rather their treatment options had plateaued.\u003cbr\u003e\nSaebo's commitment- \"No Plateau in Sight\" - was inspired by this mentality; and the accessible, revolutionary solutions began.\u003cbr\u003e\nSaebo's revolutionary product offeringwas based on the latest advances in rehabilitation research. From the SaeboFlex which allows clients to incorporate their hand functionally in therapy or at home, to the SaeboMAS, an unweighting device used to assist the arm during daily living tasks and exercise training, \"innovation\" and \"affordability\" can now be used in the same sentence.\u003cbr\u003e\nOver the last ten years, Saebo has grown into a leading global provider of rehabilitative products created through the unrelenting leadership and the strong network of clinicians around the world. As we celebrate our history and helping more than 100,000 clients regain function, we are growing this commitment to affordability and accessibility even further by making our newest, most innovative products more accessible than ever.\u003cbr\u003e\nDetailsBrandSaeboARTG Number209748Volume0.000000\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"performanceHealth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49493905703224,"sku":"SBO-X1FX1CUN1","price":3768.64,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/8801\/8488\/files\/6951-20588.jpg?v=1733193276","url":"https:\/\/suppliers.bettercaremarket.com.au\/products\/saeboflex-orthosis-custom-sbo-x1fx1cun1","provider":"bettercaremarket","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
