Children help develop 'fun' new physio aid
Available for over a year
An award-winning Loughborough designer has created a potentially life-changing physiotherapy aid to help children with learning and movement disabilities. Katie Michaels was inspired to create Moti Me - which uses animal characters, colourful lights and dozens of mini games to develop movement - when a family member was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The 27-year-old has been testing her prototypes with children and staff at a special education school in Loughborough before she takes her product to market later this year. Katie, who was named a Women in Innovation Winner 2025 for her work on the product, spoke to Âé¶¹Éç Leicester's Ady Dayman.
