“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 […]
In His Words
“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 […]

Gaining Confidence Again
“When my physiotherapist told me they’d be offering PoNS Therapy® at my clinic, I was very excited. Overall, I found the 14-week program easy to follow, if a bit time-consuming. Initially, I was frustrated by the lack of progress I saw, but by the end of the program, my gait and walking ability improved.” “For […]
Finding the Support She Needed
“PoNS Therapy® enabled me to improve my walking. Some tasks seem easier, which makes my daily life better.” “My walking has improved enough that I rely on walking support devices, like a cane, less often.”

Modified Approach
“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.”
Encouraging Improvements
“I was diagnosed with MS over 20 years ago and have Secondary Progressive MS. I’ve been using a walker for quite some time and adjusted my gait pattern to compensate for any changes.” “While the 14-week program was a big commitment, PoNS Therapy® resulted in improvements in my gait. I can walk using walking poles […]
Going the Extra Mile
“After meeting and discussing my personal needs with Dr. Cline and Marcela at the Cline Medical Centre in Nanaimo, without hesitation I knew I had to give PoNS® my very best effort. With their heartfelt encouragement and excellent training program, I recognized improvements in my gait.” “To sum up the 14-week program, I can now […]
