TORONTO, Ontario (April 28, 2026) — Motion (formerly Motion Specialties), Canada’s largest provider of comprehensive and customized mobility and home accessibility solutions, is proud to announce a Canadian partnership with Matia Mobility, an innovator in standing mobility technology for wheelchair users. At the forefront of this collaboration is the Matia Mobility Tek RMD Electric Lift and Standing Mobility Platform – an advanced solution that enables wheelchair users to independently and safely transition from sitting to standing, allowing them to move through their environments at eye level.
The Tek RMD is reimagining mobility for persons with disabilities as one of the most modern and usable electric lift and standing mobility platforms available. By combining stability, intuitive controls, and a compact design, the Tek RMD enhances independence, improves social interaction, and supports overall health and quality of life through the ability to stand and engage more naturally in everyday activities.
With one of the smallest footprints in its category, the platform allows users to access tight spaces and reach items that would otherwise be out of range in a traditional seated wheelchair. This compact design can also minimize the need for costly home modifications, making it easier for individuals to live and work comfortably in existing environments.
Through this partnership, Motion will bring Matia Mobility’s groundbreaking technology to clients across Canada, combining Motion’s clinical expertise and national presence with Matia Mobility’s innovative engineering. Together, the organizations aim to expand access to life-changing mobility solutions that promote independence and inclusion.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with Matia Mobility to introduce this transformative technology to the Canadian wheelchair users,” said Sue Gilpin, CEO of Motion. “The ability for individuals to independently sit, stand, and move through their environments at eye level is a powerful advancement in mobility. This new partnership reflects our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that enhance independence, dignity, and quality of life for Canadians.”
“Partnering with Motion is an exciting milestone for Matia Mobility as we expand into Canada,” said Steven Boal, CEO of Matia Mobility. “The Tek RMD was designed to remove barriers and give users greater freedom in how they live, work, and connect with others. Motion’s clinical leadership and national reach make them the ideal partner to help bring this technology to more people and truly make a difference in their daily lives.”
This partnership reinforces Motion’s leadership in the mobility and accessibility space, ensuring Canadians have access to some of the most advanced and impactful solutions available today.
