Got this ten days ago, and have been wearing it for about 7hours a day, in between charging times. I find I have more energy and improved mobility and flexibility. Sleep quality also better. Haven’t changed anything else about my routine - daily medication and exercise remains

Only has a very minor impact on symptoms for me - I think it does help me slightly when very off but makes no difference the rest of the time. Strap is fiddly to do up and noise can be irritating. Probably still worth a try as it appears to have a big impact for some people.

Only first day, but felt a noticeable difference- wanted to wear longer but battery life seems short- buying a second so I always have access - pain while walking significantly reduced- it’s noisy but from day 1 experience I’m happy to have the sound for comfort walking

I’m wearing the mask beechband every day and turn it on when I try to communicate with others. It reduces my stammer and helps me speak louder and more clearly. It isn’t waterproof and you need to be careful when bathing or showering. It is straightforward to use and charge.

I have been trialling BeechBand for a couple of weeks. There are some drawbacks and it hasn’t been a ‘magical cure’ for my Parkinsons symptoms however I am finding it on balance a useful tool alongside medication and exercise.

Not started using it yet. Observations; - when opening you pull back a glued edge? Once opened, the bar code on the glued edge gets obliterated. I hope it is not needed - to charge it needs a USB-C cable (not supplied). What if you don’t have one? - when charging no light!

It is early days for my husband using the device, what I would say is it is noisy!
