Odstock Medical Testimonials

Testimonials

nigel jackie stood by the sea

It was life changing after my stroke. I struggled with a foot drop. I used the FES for 7 months then my foot drop had improved so much I stopped using it. It helped to train the muscles, kept me moving without stumbling or tripping…

The FES is essential to me leading a relative independent life in my home. I could not get by without it.

The FES team and the pace device have given great confidence to continue working and be independent. I run my own business and have staff. Without FES, I know that I couldn’t manage what I do every day. I am very grateful for this service and how it enables me to have a better life, able to walk better instead of being lame and sad!

Restores my mobility, without FES I would be captive to my home.

The equipment has improved my son’s life endlessly. The staff have changed my life and supported a very frightened mum since the very first appointment.
