“She was so thrilled with her newfound abilities with the SaeboGlove”
We have used SaeboFlex at St. David’s Rehab for many years. Our previous OTR was the main person who ordered and trained our patients with the Flex, but she recently moved closer to home. So, I took it upon myself to start learning about Saebo through the online training course and from my colleagues who are Saebo certified. I have been involved in the process for about 6 months and have almost completed the online course. I recently demoed the new SaeboGlove with a patient who I have been working with off and on for the past three years. This patient is 32 years old...
An Orthopedic Approach to the Hemiparetic Upper Limb: Understanding the Biomechanics and Pathoanatomy of the Shoulder.
Before I co-founded Saebo, I was a practicing occupational therapist specializing in non-operative orthopedic medicine and manual therapy of the upper quadrant. While working at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains, NY, part of my caseload was dedicated to orthopedic rehabilitation including the treatment of overhead athletes.

The lack of hand function for stroke survivors using other orthoses has always been extremely frustrating for me. I’ve seen amazing results in reducing hypertonicity and regaining function with the Saebo products. I...
“When other therapists and patients see me working out, they are absolutely amazed”
I just received my SaeboGlove in the mail and I have been going to my physiotherapist twice a week now for three weeks and things are coming along EXCEPTIONALLY well. Today’s workout was just stunning. I had great strength and control and I’m really getting accustomed to it. By the way, when other therapists and their patients see me working out, they are absolutely amazed. You have to understand that this is a scary premise for me. I could have gone the rest of my life with a non-functioning left hand. But now, I know that I will have significant use of it...
