Hello, Autumn 2022
Hello, Autumn!
Crazy to think the summer is coming to an end. Where has the time gone? For those of you who live in the Northeast (like your Zeen Team), and anywhere else that experiences hot summer days, we're sure the cooling temperatures of the fall will be a welcome change. Now is the time to get that Zeen outside and enjoy the beautiful weather before cold sets in!
Join us on September 28
The Zeen Team is hosting our first webinar! Zeen's Physical Therapist, Petra Rose, will be live via Zoom to demonstrate, offer tips and tricks, and answer your questions. Please complete this form to sign up. We'll send an email a couple of days in advance with the Zoom link. Looking forward to seeing you then!

Meet Kim & Joe C. Kim received her Zeen in April and has been getting back to adventuring. Kim has cerebellar ataxia, which makes walking and balance difficult. Check out her story and see how the Zeen is allowing her to regain her independence.
Tips & Tricks
Ready for more stationary exercises, Zeener? In this edition's tips & tricks, you'll learn how to complete marches (for hip and abdominal strengthening), posture training (improving your upright positioning), and single leg stance (for improved balance, abdominal, and buttock strength).
Did you know...
No, it is not loose. There is nothing to tighten or fix. "Why?" you might ask...
The function of the swivel on the Zeen seat is to allow for full hip extension when walking. When you are standing with most of your weight on your feet and just a little support from the Zeen seat, we want you to be able to take a full step. This requires your leg to move behind you into extension. The slight swivel of the seat enables this naturally—otherwise, the entire Zeen would wag behind you like a tail!
Be sure to share this with your PT and others involved in your mobility training.
