TESTIMONIAL FROM TONY WILKINSON, CORK PARKINSONS GROUP of Parkinson's Ireland
I went to a smovey demonstration in August in Oriel House Hotel, Cork as other members from our Parkinson's group had tried them and highly recommended them. To be honest I was sceptical at first but I said would go with an open mind. Irene gave a very informed presentation for 30 minutes telling us all about the inventor who has Parkinson's himself came up with the idea and how it has become the wonderful tool it is today. After the presentation, we all went to the gym for a 30 minute smovey workout. There were 15 of my Parkinson’s colleagues there plus about 10 friends and family also. We all loved the exercises and they were so easy to do . You could feel the lovely vibrations going through your body and it made sense how this would be beneficial for everybody. What I was most impressed with was at the end of the class, Irene suggested to walk around the gym with the smoveys. I immediately said I could not as I use a walking stick for my balance and Irene said that the smoveys would keep me balanced and upright. I doubted this for fear of falling over but Irene was so sure and I trusted her so with my wife by by side for extra caution, I started walking without my cane and just smoveys for balance. I was astonished, really surprised by how this simple tool could keep me balanced. I was delighted with my purchase and starting walking with the smoveys everyday, weather permitting. I used to walk 1 mile with great difficulty and I was always stopping and starting. Smovey has opened a whole new physical area for me as now I walk with great confidence and it's extremely comfortable and I am upto 5 miles, something that I would never be able to do without smovey. There are loads of exercises that help you with different things like circulation, posture, lymphatic system but I love the lunges which have really build up my core strength and muscles and also helps me with my balance. I have been recommending them to my therapist and my doctor and I highly recommend these to everybody, especially if you are having problems with balance. It takes a couple of weeks to get completely comfortable and to trust with them. At first I was quite robotic but once I build my confidence and used them daily for exercises, my motion improved and the balance came and now I would not be without them. Thank you Irene for introducing us to smovey and to my co Parkinson’s sufferer for inventing them.
