“After living with MS since 1999, gait difficulties took away my most valued treasure: quality adventures with my 13-year-old daughter. My focused PoNS therapy helped me improve my walking, and as a result of my improved walking I experienced freedoms such as increased walking speed, endurance, and distance. As a reward for her support and motivation, Rogue and I will vacation in New York City to walk the streets of Manhattan and enjoy our favorite Broadway musicals! Thank you for the experiences I thought were lost forever.”

“Just three weeks into my therapy, and I can already see a difference! It hasn’t been easy—it’s fatiguing, and you have to keep pushing through—but the progress is undeniable. I’ve had some incredible ‘ah-ha’ moments. One night, as I was walking from the bathroom to the bedroom, I told my fiancé to watch me walk. His reaction said it all: ‘Wow, you’re lifting your left foot and not dragging it anymore!’ Another time, I was heading to the kitchen, a path where I always needed to touch the furniture for support. This time, I made it all the way without reaching for anything. It was amazing! These moments remind me that the hard work is paying off, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.”

“I was diagnosed 22 years ago after having double vision and numbness in my feet. One of my biggest flare-ups was foot drop and numbness – particularly on my left side – which caused significant mobility issues.”

“PoNS Therapy was hard at the beginning, but once I got into the groove and was doing the exercises daily, the difficulty fell away – particularly once I started seeing results. For instance, seeing the toes on my left foot move again for the first time in years really motivated me to see how much more they’d move the next day. I’m walking as I was 10 years ago, with minimal foot drop. I’ve gone on walks where I don’t catch my foot at all – and I can’t remember the last time that happened. It’s easier to walk up and down stairs – and I can do so without holding the rail the whole time. I can stand on my left foot without falling over, lift the toes on my left foot and lift my foot and move it in a circle, all of which I haven’t been able to do for years. I’m also able to lift my leg higher, overcoming weaknesses in my hamstring and hip flexors, making it easier to do things like step into a pair of pants.”

“I have been living with MS for 35 years and have just completed my 14 week of PoNS Therapy. I am impressed with the results. The difference is apparent on before- and after- videos of me on the treadmill, and I feel steadier and more self-assured in my overall ability to move. I feel my improved gait since PoNS has led me to attempt things such as parking further from an entrance to a store or across the street from my destination instead of circling the block to find a closer spot. As a result of my improved walking, I was able to participate in a more active excursion on my vacation, such as walking, swimming, and scrambling through an underground cave in the Yucatan. My starting speed on the treadmill went from 1.3 to 2.6 during the protocol. PoNS Therapy was a serious commitment of time and energy but the improvements in my gait, at least for me, have changed my life.”

“As someone who has had MS for over 40 years, I viewed PoNS^® as something to not only expand my rehabilitation routine, but to push me both physically and mentally.”

“While I encountered barriers along the way and progress was slow and steady, my walking with assistance is much better when completing my exercises and daily activities.”

“I will say that the PoNS^® program was quite a vigorous workout for me, especially the first few weeks.”

“Propel Physiotherapy did a great job prescribing and modifying the exercises to suit my condition. My walking distance (with a rollator) improved substantially.”
