Motion is excited to announce our new Canadian partnership with Matia Mobility – an innovator in standing mobility technology for wheelchair users. A New Way to Experience Mobility For many wheelchair users, mobility has traditionally meant navigating the world from a seated position. While that provides essential independence, it can also create physical, social, and environmental barriers. That’s where Matia Mobility’s Tek RMD Electric Lift and Standing Mobility Platform comes in. This advanced device allows users to independently transition from sitting to standing allowing them to move through their environment at eye level. It’s not just a technical innovation; it’s a shift in how mobility can be experienced. Standing mobility can open doors in ways that go beyond movement: Making eye-to-eye conversations more natural Reaching everyday items with ease Engaging more fully at work, at home, and in the community Designed for Real Life One of the standout features of the Tek RMD is its compact, thoughtful design. With one of the smallest footprints in its category, it allows users to navigate tight spaces that might otherwise be inaccessible. That means: Greater freedom in homes, workplaces, and public spaces Less reliance on costly home modifications More flexibility to live and work in existing environments Combined with intuitive controls and strong stability, the Tek RMD is a solution designed not just for functionality but for everyday life. Why This Partnership Matters At Motion, we’ve spent over 40 years working alongside clients, families, and healthcare professionals to deliver personalized mobility and accessibility solutions. Partnering with Matia Mobility allows us to take that commitment even further. By combining Motion’s national reach and clinical expertise and Matia Mobility’s forward-thinking engineering, we’re able to expand access to a new category of mobility solutions that truly changes what’s possible. As our CEO Sue Gilpin shared: “The ability to independently sit, stand, and move at eye level is more than a feature; it’s a powerful advancement in how people experience independence and inclusion.” Moving Forward, Together This partnership reflects something bigger than a single product launch. It represents a shared vision: A future where mobility solutions don’t just meet basic needs but also actively enhance quality of life. A future where innovation removes barriers instead of working around them. And most importantly, a future where more Canadians can live, work, and connect on their own terms. We’re proud to take this step forward and even more excited about what it means for the people we serve every day. This material does not constitute medical advice.
