What is SENSe therapy?
Loss of sensation or the ability to feel objects normally is a common challenge after a stroke or spinal cord injury. At Geelong Neuro Centre, we’re proud to offer the SENSe program, developed by Professor Leanne Carey, to help individuals regain sensation and restore function and independence.
SENSe therapy focuses on three critical components of sensation: proprioception, tactile recognition, and object recognition. Impaired sensation can make everyday activities—like shaking hands, reaching into a pocket, carrying items, cooking, or eating—significantly more challenging.
The good news? It’s never too late to work on regaining function, even years after a stroke. Backed by strong evidence and recommended in the National Stroke Guidelines, SENSe therapy has been praised by many clients who’ve experienced its benefits. Geelong Neuro Centre is one of the few private providers equipped with the SENSe Kit, and our therapists have undergone advanced training to deliver this program.
First, we’ll do a sensory assessment using the SENSe Kit to understand your needs and set your goals. Then we’ll design a program just for you.
You can choose to do weekly sessions, but many people see quicker results with an intensive program. We’ll chat about what works best for your lifestyle. Plus, we’ll give you a home exercise program to keep the progress going between sessions.
At GNC we have a suite of Saebo products including a SaeboFlex and SaeboReach trial kit, SaeboMAS, SaeboStep, SaeboStretch and SaeboGlove. GNC is one of the only private rehabilitation facilities in Victoria to have a suite of Saebo products available for our clients to trial.
