What a great machine, my husband has used it everyday and what an asset it has been.... he continues to make progress from his illness, Guillane-Barre syndrome. I also want to thank Medimotion for their excellent service and kindness.
I was so impressed by this machine that I decided to take the plunge and hire it. I am now aware of the increased strength in my legs when I transfer to my chair, wc and bed. That helps me hang on to my independence. That also encourage me to keep on exercising. The best think about this machine is that it responds to tired legs. I stop cycling and the machine takes over. It helps me to feel like I am in charge of my life and gives me a feeling of achievement.
I find it a great help to getting more strength and movement in my legs, many thanks.
I enjoy this bike very much. It keeps my knees having movement and is missed a lot if we're on holiday.
I really just want to let you know how very helpful the Motomed machine has been in my husbands recovery. Last August he was taken into hospital as an emergency suffering from septicaemia I was told he was very sick and would take up to five months to regain his previous strength. In the event he improved so rapidly that he was transferred to the general ward the next day and was home in four days. The nurse was amazed and asked how we managed at home and I told her about the Motomed machine. She said it was highly likely that working on this nearly every day had probably kept him healthy enough to fight this dreadful infection.
How Medimotion made my City trip…
Although there a nowadays many options for disabled people, there are only few options that will suit my needs and lead to a satisfactory holiday. Since I'm being used to be fully independent at home and at work, I demand the same on a holiday. I detest the fact that friends or family have to help me with washing, bathing or visit the toilet. I'd rather stay at home than to receive help with such intimate things. This point of view is emphasized since my last city trip in 2012. The company on that trip was perfectly willing to help me with my needs, but I felt nervous by the thought of asking the to help me onto the toilet. Since I don't control Mother Nature, I've had to ask the inevitable, but unlike other things, it didn't get any easier by asking it more frequently. As a result I chose to stay at home instead of going on a holiday.
In order to make all the arrangements, I've made contact with a dealer of the Struzzo in the Netherlands. They could provide me with the contact details of Gary Martin from the company Medimotion. A company based in Wales, which is a preferred supplier for the Struzzo in the United Kingdom. The thing that struck me most was the instant willingness to help me. From their point of view it was a remarkable request, since they mostly provide the Struzzo for a couple of weeks minimum. This is very understandable, considering the effort and costs they have to fulfil with transportation and arrangements.
But, within a few days, Gary replied me with a very kind e-mail in which he stated that Medimotion was happy to oblige. He offered me a rental price, which was very reasonable, considered that they had transportation costs on their behalf. The only thing they needed was the contact details of the hotel and the dates corresponding to my stay. The rest was taken care off, Martin assured me. And everything was taken care off. The Struzzo was directly available on my arrival en the hotel staff was very helpful and well instructed.
So, thanks to Medimotion and Gary Martin in particular, I've had the best time in London. Of course I have to mention the Lancaster Hall Hotel (35, Craven Terrace London) as well. This hotel is very suitable for Struzzo users. I can recommend it to anyone, who needs to use a Struzzo.
I look back at a very good cooperation with Medimotion and I hope that it's a beginning of the possibility to rent devices for only a holiday. In order to make this work I also hope that disabled people will see themselves more and more as consumers.
So that i twill be attractive for companies like Medimotion to provide such services on a wide scale at a reasonable fee.
The service of Medimotion was a cherry on a delicious cake, which lasted for 4 days.
Thank you Medimotion, thank you Gary, you've really made my citytrip.
The Motomed Viva2 has helped 341 service users in the last year alone. It is easy to use and has many features such as symmetry training. It also has a passive program, to help with circulation for those who are unable to pedal independently. For those who are in a wheelchair, it can easily be accessed as there is no need to get out of your chair.
When I returned to my normal-ish life after a long stay in hospital at 24 I was desperate to get some power back to my legs again. I first of all had a Viva 2 bike on loan from The M.S. Society local branch, which I got for a month every couple of months. The only problem was that when I had tried it I didn’t want to let it go again because my legs felt so much better and less up tight. I managed to get a help buying my own bike. This was one of the best uses of money I have had. When I am at home I go on for 30 minutes at least twice a day every day and my legs have changed completely. I now feel I can rely on my legs because the strength is so much more than what I had 8 years ago. Even on my tired days I feel if you let the bike move your legs without active cycling I feel it eases off my legs. I have taken my bike on holidays on a trailer with me because I couldn’t bear to be without it for a full week and also hired one in Portugal when away for a week. I definitely my recovery to my level of health would have been halted without the bike.
