"Knowledge gained through experience is far superior and many times more useful than bookish knowledge."

Expert Advisors

With skills evolved and developed by treating the life changing injuries suffered in the war in Afghanistan, our expert advisors unfortunately have been there.

It is there, in the theatre of war that they learnt to treat the devastation to the human body caused by violent conflict and explosions.

Today, they use their hard won skills in private practice working with patients who need help to cope with their own challenging circumstances.

Those same skills and expertise have been behind the creation of the Xothotics Exoskeleton System.

"The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning; whereas the experience gained from actual life is one of the nature of wisdom."
