In response to our client's views and significant market research, Technology in Motion will be changing the treatment and helmet name within the UK and ROI to TiMband with immediate effect.

The TiMband helmets will continue to be manufactured by Ossur Ltd and there will be no changes to the very successful manufacturing or treatment protocols.

Technology in Motion is dedicated to improving the lives of infants in the UK and ROI by working to minimise the causes and effects of flat head syndrome, ensuring that our children grow up with a normal and acceptable head shape.

Technology in Motion continues to be the largest UK provider of cranial remoulding therapies with a growing number of centres and associates working to bring this treatment to infants who need our care.

The neuropathies can injure nerve ...
