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

  • This walker has given me my life back……

    I have really bad balance and my walker with 12” wheels gives me a great feeling of stability. I also obedience train a golden retriever and this walker has made it easier to walk on grass with her. The other thing it is so much easier due to its lig…

  • A very successful purchase…

    This Veloped has been a very successful purchase. My husband uses it every day for walks in the countryside and trips to the shop. He finds that it is very comfortable to walk with and smooth to push over rough ground. It is easy to manoeuvre and rid…

  • Easier, more daily fun…

    They have really thought of the user! Everything is well thought out and with my Veloped, I dare to get out socially and not opt out of some activities. Safer, happier, which also means I need less help from people around me! Highly recommended!…

  • Walker 14, the more autonomy…

    My husband has serious balance problems due to a progressive neuropathy, walking with a cane is too hesitant to take walks, the Walker 14 from Trionic solved this problem because it also allows to take stony and grassy paths. Even if the price is hig…

  • 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.)

  • Veloped Trek 14er…

    I've had the walker for a few weeks now and can say that I'm very happy with it. So far I've been able to get everywhere with it, especially in the woods, where others would certainly have failed. The Veloped Trek leaves nothing to be desired.

  • Great Ferrari among the rollators…

    My mother, 84 years-old, can finally walk on the streets of the city again without pain in her shoulders and wrists. She doesn't feel the cobblestones at all. Overcoming train tracks is now child's play. With her previous rollator, which was not a st…

  • I bought the Walker 11 years ago…

    Dear Sir or Madam, they asked for a review of the Trionic Walker, but I only ordered 2 inner tubes. I bought the walker 11 years ago and am still enthusiastic about it today. It can cope with almost any terrain, runs easily thanks to the large pneuma…

  • Freedom machine…

    Bought for my mother who had cancer which was moving into the spine. She was never happy with anything but this machine was different. She called it her freedom machine and she went from not walking anywhere to walking to the local farm shop across g…
