“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.”
