Inspiration for the branding theme of Muscle Mechanics comes from the heroic story of her son, Jenson. Jenson was still new to the world – only 2 years old – when he met his nemesis: a brain tumour that required major surgery to remove.

During that surgery, disaster struck! A brain injury developed into posterior fossa syndrome. He lost all mobility. He could not speak, eat, walk,  sit up, or move his head. To most, this would be the kind of devastating blow that would end a hero’s journey.

But not Jenson. Jenson kept fighting – he would not be beaten. For 2 years he pushed and fought to regain his physical skills. However, his nemesis then clawed its way back into existence – the tumour had returned! Jenson refused to let it win. He went on weekly chemotherapy and continues to this day to be as fiercely independent as he can be.

His chemotherapy finished in July 2020 during the lockdown. He still requires 24-hour care but he is now walking with a walker and we’re encouraging him to walk independently. Whenever he falters, his brother and sister, and, of course, his mother Kim, are there to help him get up to fight another day.

Throughout the process of his recovery, the Muscle Mechanics products have been incredibly helpful to keep him (and his mum!) calm.

Kim hopes that Jenson’s courageous and resilient energy serves as an example of how you can rise up from the worst of circumstances. She hopes that the Muscle Mechanics products can help others in their own fight with pain – whether it’s big or small, mental or physical.
