I am writing to tell you how my Samhall Conto Narrow four wheeled walking frame with seat, has really changed my life. Before I found out about these fantastic walking aids I was confined to my own home or having to rely on a wheelchair for outings, as I was in too much pain to walk. At just 37 years old, I was facing a future unable to accompany my four very young children on any of our usual family outings. It was very depressing for all of us to have a member of the family "out of action", as we have always enjoyed going out together.

When I took my first few steps with my new frame it was like a miracle. The ergonomic design meant that all the weight transferred onto the frame (away from my dysfunctional pelvis) and I could actually walk pain-free for the first time in months!
Pretty soon I was trying out my new wheels in all sorts of locations and I was overjoyed when I managed to walk with the family along the seafront promenade and enjoy the lovely views! If I get tired I can just fold out the seat anywhere and take a rest, it is marvellous. People are always coming up and admiring my new frame saying it is just what they need! I would recommend it to anyone, it is really liberating to be independent again and my quality of life has improved beyond all recognition. It is probably the best money we ever spent!

As a huge bonus, keeping mobile has improved my general fitness, my muscle tone has returned to my legs and arms and my heart is benefiting from the exercise that I am getting from using the frame. The boost to my morale from being out and about again has been wonderful, and I dread to think how life would before me now without it.
So thank you for changing my life, and if anyone is thinking about getting one of these frames, don't delay another day, it will give you a whole new lease of life too.

As you predicted the Netty arrived last Thursday morning. On Thursday afternoon I took my mother to the local park where she went for a fairly long walk with the Netty. All went well and my mother was really pleased.
We agreed that on Friday I would go with her when she went up the street with the Netty. When I got there, she said that she had already been for a walk on her own. This was marvellous news for me because this is exactly what I wanted to achieve.
Clearly no one is going to get the Netty back from my mother.
I'm delighted with the results we have achieved and I'm sure many more people could benefit from obtaining a walker that is right for their specific circumstances. Unfortunately, from my experiences, I'm also fairly sure that many people will not get the information they need to enable them to make the right decisions. Hence, I'm willing to do all I can to help you spread the message.
