Living with Parkinson's

At the age of 7, Matt Eagles was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, but that has never stopped him from achieving his goals and living life to the full.

After undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), Matt is now able to control his Parkinson's through an electric current that goes into his brain. 

"I've never at any point thought I've got Parkinson's so I can't do this." Matt Eagles. 

Matt inspires everyone he meets. This is Matt's story of living with Parkinson’s.

We at Trionic are happy to see that Matt is using the Veloped everyday now, benefitting from all the unique features.

I am so incredibly grateful to you guys and Charlotte and Russ at Parkinson’s Concierge for the Veloped. It was a complete surprise and I had absolutely no idea that my wife had been arranging with Charlotte and Russ that they would deliver it personally! I have to say ...for once I was speechless!! I could have cried!! 

Matt describes the benefits he is been seeing so far:

  • I use it every day , it has given me more confidence to go out and about when my walking isn’t so good when previously I would have stayed in.
  • It has helped my posture
  • I feel so proud walking with it, I actually feel like an athlete ready for the Olympics ( wish I was !! ) . Passers by stop me and ask about it!

I will get Viv to film me in Delamere forest with it as there are some great trails there , its only down the road. I am also testing it at Oulton Park during the British Superbike meeting where I shall go all over the circuit with it! I will also be wearing my 'Im not pissed ive got Parky’s t-shirt' The riders and the general public and I love it !! Thank you soooo much once again guys.

Forever in your debt

Product Reviews    

  • Excellent…

    Love this, has helped me to walk further than I use to as I can sit, take a rest and walk for a bit further. It has the most comfortable seat. Highly recommend. It is also great for my elderly dog when she gets tired.…

  • I'm absolutely delighted with my Walker.…

    The design is perfect, I think, most importantly because it allows me to walk in an upright posture, thus easing lower back & shoulder pain. Its very sturdy construction has helped my balance a lot, & I feel much more secure when out walking, & able …

  • Erika…

    It is a great companion that I was allowed to test for 14 days. I can only recommend it to everyone; you can overcome all obstacles with it. I am vision-impaired and because of that I move very uncertainly when outside, but thanks to my faithful comp…

  • Hello dear Team Trionic!…

    Yes, I have received the catalog. In the meantime, I had already viewed it in PDF and therefore I ordered the Trionic Veloped because there is no comparable product in the world. The Veloped was delivered last Monday, I couldn't wait.

  • I know I have gained a lifetime of freedom.…

    I am a twenty six year old woman, born with a mild spastic tetraparesis (a lighter form of cerebral palsy). It affects both my hands and legs: despite years of physiotherapy, I was only able to walk arm in arm with a carer. I found out about Trionic …

  • Excellent customer service…

    On the rare occasions I have had to contact this company they have been so helpful. Advising me how to remove parts etc. Their customer service really is 100 per cent.…

  • New lease on life…

    My Veloped has given me a new lease on life! It’s so much safer and easier than using my walker, and allows me to navigate all kinds of terrain too, including trails. I feel comfortable being more independent and also never worry about getting stuck …

  • Oh my, the places I can go!…

    I love the Veloped, it changed my life! I am not afraid of walking on grass in my backyard or grandchildren’s athletic games, unpaved trails, let alone any kind of slightly uneven surface, think raised sidewalks, downed tree & plant debris scattere…

    Essential piece needed to keep items placed in the basket dry when needed.…
