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 product…

    This has been a life-changer for me. I suffer from a back problem, which seriously restricted my walking. Using the Trionic Trek I can comfortably walk about 2 miles. I take the occasional rest using the seat which is a bonus. The design and finish o…

  • It's got me, my dogs &my legs out again…

    Love it, kerbs no problem, hills no problem. I have had trouble with a kissing gate!! Thought I might be stuck in it, collapsed it and took it through like an upside down tripod. Have fixed 2 cable ties 4 cane holder.…

  • Excellent bit of kit…

    Excellent. From my previous average 20m range, the world has now expanded so much that I was able to take my youngest round the dinosaur museum (him sitting on the seat, facing forward, when he got tired).

    I really cannot thank you enough.…

  • Life-quality…

    With the Veloped, I have gained in Life-quality. It allows me more freedom of movement without joint pain and gives me much more confidence than a conventional walker. I can walk in the woods again, go to the beach and finally go again with my feet i…

  • These walkers are reliable...…

    These walkers are reliable and provide stability and support during walking.

    They are robust and easy to manoeuvre, making them an excellent mobility aid.…

  • Comfortable Walker…

    My Trionic Walker arrived on time as promised. A really efficient company to deal with. Already ‘test driven’ and really kind to arthritic neck and shoulders as there is hardly any vibration due to large pneumatic wheels. Also, walk from hips rather …

  • The Trionic Veloped came into our lives...…

    The Trionic Veloped came into our lives and has made many things easier. It's now fun to go for walks "like we used to" again.

    I can highly recommend the Veloped.…

  • I am glad that I bought this expensive rollator…

    I have nothing to complain about, I am completely satisfied. At 91 years old and with a few complaints, I do my daily fast walk to mobilise the circulation. (I couldn't walk fast with the one paid from the health insurance.)
    Loading it into the car…

  • DEFINITE GAMECHANGER…

    This walker is perfect for my height, my previous NHS rollator was too low down, being as this one can be adjusted to your correct level, I no longer get such an aching back, which in turn means I can walk further comfortably. The steering is much mo…
