Is Pain Stealing Your Independence? You Won’t Believe This 80-Year-Old’s Story
Imagine driving solo for hours, attending tradeshows weekend after weekend — sounds exhausting, right? Now, guess how old she is. Fifty? Sixty? Try eighty. That’s exactly what Fern McCall is doing. But her journey to independence is even more incredible than it sounds.
It all started with a crash
Years ago, Fern’s life took an unexpected turn after a serious car accident left her with a trapped neck and limited mobility. The pain was relentless. She tried everything — but nothing worked. Eventually, doctors gave her a choice: fuse her neck or risk being in a wheelchair within six months.
For Fern, that wasn’t a future she was willing to accept.
A light in the dark
Determined to stay mobile and keep doing what she loved most — driving — Fern kept looking. That search led her to Bioptron.
She got her hands on one of the very first Bioptron light therapy units brought into New Zealand from Switzerland. After using it consistently for just three months, she experienced something remarkable.
Her mobility returned. Her pain eased. She could move freely again without fear.
Living proof and sharing it with others
Today, Fern is 80 years old and more independent than ever. She drives herself across the country, from Auckland to Dunedin, attending tradeshows and sharing her experience with others.
She has become a passionate advocate for Bioptron because she has lived the results. She believes everyone should have access to something that supports the body’s ability to heal naturally.
