"It’s been wonderful and we are so grateful to Victoria for choosing our crutches. Our mission has always been to help as many people as possible by giving them a choice when it comes to crutches and walking sticks."Everyone deserves to feel confident on their feet regardless of injury or disability and this has shone a spotlight onto us as a business, as well as changed the perception of mobility aids in general.
"The fear of slipping meant I was terrified to go anywhere on my own, or out at night in the dark or rain - everything became a worry and the safest thing to do was to stay at home."The clicking noise associated with crutches was an issue too, as Amelia shares: "The clicking made me so self-conscious. I could never go anywhere without someone hearing me.
