PATIENT STORIES
Real Patients. Real Progress.
“When I met Frankie I was bed bound. I couldn't make myself a sandwich without severe symptoms. Now I'm baking once a week, I can take my dog on 2km walks and I have some independence back!”
— Kelsey“When I started, I wasn’t able to stand for more than a few minutes or walk more than a short distance… I’ve even been able to join my family in some light sports that I haven’t been able to do in years.”
— Laura“There were times when I could not even walk 1 km without becoming completely exhausted… I recently went to Whistler and did the Panorama Ridge hike, which was around 30 km.”
