A Mother’s Story of Hope for Her Daughter with Friedreich’s Ataxia

Honest stories from DR-HO’S users

Friedreich’s Ataxia is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and muscles. For one 12-year-old girl in the UK, it means using a wheelchair 97% of the time. Movement is limited. Exercise is difficult. And being mostly sedentary increases the risk of blood clots, a concern her mother knew she couldn’t ignore.

She contacted DR-HO’S to ask if the MotionCiser could help. Designed to gently move the feet and lower legs in a way that mimics walking, the MotionCiser supports circulation and helps reduce stiffness—without requiring any physical effort.

They got started right away.

“My mum told me about the MotionCiser. Her research, passion and the benefits it could have were something I couldn’t ignore. We received it in May, and after a quick setup and testing the speed and heat controls, we created a daily routine.”

Her daughter began using it for 30 minutes a day, focusing on the feet and calves. And just a few weeks in, they began to see changes:

“This is extremely beneficial to her,” the mother shared. “We will continue to use it and adjust where needed.”

The MotionCiser is ideal for people who have difficulty walking or standing, offering a gentle, passive form of movement. It’s easy to use at home while seated, and sessions can be repeated as often as needed, making it a valuable part of daily care routines for those living with reduced mobility.

Following the early results, Dr. Michael Ho also recommended the Circulation Promoter Pro. Its nerve stimulation technologies (TENS, EMS, and AMP) can provide additional support. Together, both devices offer complementary benefits for muscle and nerve function.
