Tina’s Story: Freedom from Pain
Tina lives with severe sciatica and relies on both a wheelchair and a mobility scooter. For years, every small movement—especially while seated—meant bracing against a wave of pain. Adjusting her position often made things worse, not better. Long outings, like a recent trip to the theatre in London, left her in agony simply because sitting still for extended periods made it almost impossible to shift without discomfort.
“I’d just end up sitting there longer and longer, getting stiffer and in more pain. Trying to move felt impossible.”
Then she tried Move Me™.
For the first time in years, Tina was able to adjust her seating position—without triggering pain.
“I couldn’t believe it. I could actually move without hurting. I didn’t have to push, strain, or brace myself—I could just shift naturally and safely. It’s brilliant.”
She no longer has to lift herself using painful pressure through her wrists, shoulders, and spine. With Move Me™, even subtle movements feel easy, smooth, and—most importantly—safe.
“I was worried I’d slide out of the seat, especially when reclining. But I didn’t—it feels secure, and I feel secure. That’s never happened before.”
Tina says Move Me has made something she thought was lost forever—movement without pain—a part of her life again.
“It’s the first time I’ve moved in years without hurting. It’s so cool. This would make a massive difference to my life.”
Elaine’s Story: Freedom to Move, Wherever She Goes
Elaine has spent years living with restricted mobility, relying on a wheelchair and her husband for support. While she’s used to the practicalities of getting around, one major challenge remained: being stuck in the same position for hours—during dinners, lectures, long hospital appointments, or journeys.
“If I go out to the theatre or for dinner, I’m just stuck in one position. Same with hospital appointments—I’ve waited for two, even two and a half hours, just sitting there because the nurses are too busy. It’s uncomfortable and frustrating.”
With Move Me™, that’s changed.
Elaine now has the freedom to make small adjustments on her own—something that was impossible before.
“With Move Me™, I’m not in the same position for hours. I can move myself easily.”
Her husband, who is her main support, can also help adjust her position effortlessly using the simple side webbing handles—without strain, lifting, or disruption.
It’s also made travel more accessible.
“Move Me™ is great for long car journeys—it even fits onto a car seat. We’ve never been able to go on a coach holiday because I’d be stuck in one position the whole time. But now, I’ve got the opportunity to move a little bit more.”
For Elaine, Move Me™ has brought relief, flexibility, and the freedom to enjoy life’s everyday moments—on her own terms.
Anne’s Story: Comfort, Without the Complications
Anne requires full-time care—she’s unable to reposition herself or adjust her seating. Like many in her position, small discomforts can grow into serious pain, especially when unfamiliar carers are involved.
“My body is strange—I don’t feel discomfort right away. It can take half an hour before I even realise something’s wrong. Then I have to decide—is this bad enough to call someone?”
During a recent stay in respite care, the constant change of staff made things harder. Each carer positioned her differently, unaware of the nuances of her body or when to tilt or adjust the chair. She often hesitated to speak up, not wanting to be a “pain in the neck.”
“It got so frustrating that instead of asking to be repositioned, I’d just ask for strong pain relief. That’s not how it should be.”
Move Me™ has changed that.
Anne’s main carer, Maggie, explains the day-to-day impact:
“Anne often slides down in her chair, especially during travel. That misaligns her headrest, throws off her posture, and pushes her head uncomfortably forward. As a single-handed carer, I used to strain my back trying to pull her up by her sling.”
With Move Me, Maggie can adjust Anne’s position safely and easily:
“It’s so cleverly designed—there are loops in all the right places, and it slides with no effort. I can give Anne a gentle shift up in the chair with much less strain. It makes such a difference.”
For Anne and Maggie, Move Me™ brings relief, safety, and dignity—where and when it matters most.
