How Sue Avoided Knee Replacement Surgery, And Transformed Her Life, With Apos®
Living with severe osteoarthritis in her knees, Sue had to retire early, give up exercise, and endure constant pain that disrupted her life. Facing knee replacement surgery at 55, Sue turned to Apos® instead. Within months, her pain eased, mobility returned, and her life transformed. Now, she walks miles, plays golf, and climbs stairs without pain, regaining her independence and peace of mind.
Sue’s Story
“Before my Apos® assessment, I had been suffering with osteoarthritis in my knees for quite a few years, which meant I had to take early retirement from work. I had to give up a lot of exercise that I used to do because of severe stiffness and awful pain in my knees. The symptoms made my lifestyle difficult and were affecting my mental health due to lack of sleep from pain at night.
“The problem with my knees prevented me from taking part in the sports that I liked. Working with young children became very difficult because I couldn’t kneel, and even attending events that required climbing steps was challenging. Many areas of my life became difficult when my knees became painful.
“My experience of wearing Apos® was with a physical therapist at a hospital. He watched me walking without them, using a computer, and then tailored my Apos® pods to the way I walked. Very quickly, even at the first appointment, I found that I was walking without as much pain and without limping. Starting with 20 minutes a day worked really well, and I was soon wearing them for an hour a day, with symptoms easing dramatically.
“I decided to try Apos® treatment because, at the age of 55, I was predicted to need total knee replacements, and I wasn’t keen on surgery at that age. I wanted to get as far as I could without needing knee surgery, and I was grateful to be offered an alternative.
“My overall experience with Apos® treatment has been thoroughly positive. My life is completely different now. I can walk many miles a day, play golf twice a week without knee pain, sleep at night, and walk the dog without a stick. The benefits to my mental health and well-being have been immense.
“While I know osteoarthritis won’t go away and there will be stiffness at times, especially in the mornings, my other symptoms have completely changed. My knees are no longer swollen, I can walk long distances, and stairs are no longer a challenge. My knees feel totally different from before I started Apos®.
“I certainly recommend Apos® to friends, family, and anyone dealing with knee osteoarthritis.”
