Parkinson’s Disease
“My dad seems to be enjoying the cycle and shows some minor improvements. Still a bit early in its usage yet to see him running around the yard. We’ve got him at 4 to 5 times a day at 3mph for 25 minutes each. He is increasing the effort from level 1 to 3 most of the time. We’re very happy with the Theracycle’s performance to date.” — Mark W, Redlands CA
“As a neurologist and person with Parkinson’s, I am
impressed with the passive and voluntary cycling and
the empowerment the Theracycle offers in fighting back
against the disease.”
— Dr. David Heydrick
“Several months ago I was diagnosed as having Parkinson’s Disease. I was not able to use my treadmill due to the effects of Parkinson’s. Now with the Theracycle, I feel much stronger, find that I can walk and feel comfortable doing it, and the upper portion of my body has much more strength. I’m now firmly convinced that Theracycle is of great benefit to me and to anyone else who has Parkinson’s Disease.”

Multiple Sclerosis
“My MS is really bad but I use my Theracycle five times a week for 45 minutes each time. When I use it, it keeps my legs from hurting and I never have spasms. I have to get on that bike. I can’t say enough about it. Believe me, there is no doubt in my mind that if I didn’t use that bike I would not be walking. It is the best investment I ever made. I love my Theracycle.”

“My wife Ann has had MS for 27 years. She’s a fighter. She looks forward to exercise. She can step through the frame of the Theracycle safely and she feels stable on it. She likes the sense of well being and the ability to exercise at home. The Theracycle has really renewed her hope of being physically fit.”

“Everyone knows the physical and psychological benefits of exercise, but having MS it’s difficult to achieve them. I can now! The miraculous part of having a Theracycle is you can achieve this exercise in your home. Thank you, and I will keep you up with my progress.”

Stroke
“I had a stroke 9 years ago. It caused paralysis in my left side, which also resulted in my being completely sedentary. I belong to a health club but none of the equipment was usable with my mobility issues.
The Theracycle has absolutely changed my life. The way it is designed with the area between the handlebars and the seat makes it is effortless to get on or off. Since the effort of the motorized pedals is adjustable, I can set the effort level to be as hard or soft as I feel up to as well as the amount of time I choose to have a bicycling session. I easily got into the schedule of doing 30 minutes a day beginning right after breakfast. The aerobic effort has made me feel so much better. And the added benefit of the serotonin rush produced has relieved the depression with which i have suffered since the stroke. An added benefit has been my ability to lose weight. It is practically impossible to get the benefits of a weight loss regimen without doing regular exercise. The theracycle has made that possible with astounding results. I lost 20 pounds the first 6 months I owned the machine. I am grateful that it was invented by someone who definitely understands the limitations of a disabled person like me.”

Spinal Cord Injury
“I am paralyzed as result of a bicycling accident that occurred many years ago. I used to love to exercise and I still do. It was too difficult to get to a rehab center or gym to work out so I bought my own motorized exercise bicycle. The Theracycle allows anyone with a severe spinal cord injury to improve range of motion, decrease spasticity and tone, and increase flexibility. And most importantly, I feel that when I am on my bike I am not giving in to my condition. It is great to see my legs move just like they did when I was an avid bicyclist.”

Arthritis
“I have had the Theracycle machine for several months and I am extremely happy with it. Since I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and have had this condition for a long time, I started out pretty slow. At first my knees were really tight, but now I can ride the Theracycle for seven minutes per session at five miles per hour. My leg muscles are a lot stronger. I can tell because it is a lot easier to get up from my wheel chair and to get to my walker. The Theracycle definitely is helping with my circulation – I have a lot of edema and I can see the difference in my legs which are a lot less swollen. I know it sounds funny, but the Theracycle really helps with fatigue. I can be very tired and then get on the Theracycle. Even after seven minutes my body gets a surge of energy.”

“I have arthritis, diabetes, and I am also overweight. If people have any of those problems, they can use the Theracycle. It really helps with keeping my blood sugar down. I use it every day for 25 minutes. I feel that this is important for me – it has to be in a room where I can use it. I definitely feel the difference. My doctors are amazed. Even you can exercise and get some benefits. It can be snowing outside but I’ll be inside riding my Theracycle.”

Diabetes
“As a lifelong diabetic, I know I need exercise. I have used exercise bicycles and treadmills but I found that I couldn’t use them because of circulation problems with my feet and knees. I bought the Theracycle because I saw that its motor would make it easier to exercise. It is really easy to operate and I use it two to three times a day. I’m thrilled to say I can now walk up to a half mile. Also, I had a diabetic ulcer, which healed much faster than my doctor expected. He couldn’t believe it and he is now really enthusiastic about the Theracycle.”
