  • Recovering from a lower leg injury doesn’t mean missing out on the fun. Festival season is all about music, connection, and making memories. At StrideOn, we believe you shouldn’t have to sit it out just because you're non-weight bearing. Our knee walkers, including the Orthomate model, are designed to give you the freedom and mobility to enjoy outdoor events safely and comfortably.
     
    Don’t Let Injury Hold You Back
     
    Festivals and music events can be physically demanding, with long days, uneven ground, and plenty of walking between stages. If you're recovering from foot or ankle surgery, or managing a non-weight bearing condition, using crutches can quickly become exhausting, not to mention unstable on grass or gravel. That’s where our knee walkers come in.
     
    Designed for Comfort and Control
     
    Our StrideOn Orthomate is built for real-life adventure. With wide, pneumatic tyres and a stable four-wheel frame, it’s a knee walker specifically made for the outdoors. The Orthomate gives you the confidence to get around without slipping, sliding, or struggling.
    Better yet, it comes equipped with:
    • A cushioned orthopaedic knee pad for long-lasting comfort
    • A spacious basket for storing essentials like drinks, sunglasses, and festival maps
    • Dual brakes and a parking brake, so you can pause safely while queueing for food or dancing near the stage
     
    Real Experiences, Real Independence
     
    Many of our customers have used their StrideOn knee walkers to attend concerts, festivals, and even charity walks. The combination of mobility and independence makes all the difference in maintaining a sense of normality and joy during recovery. Whether you're navigating iconic fields or enjoying a local food festival, you can move with ease, join the crowd, and focus on the fun.
     
    Plan Ahead for a Smooth Experience
    To make the most of your festival or music event with a knee walker, here are a few helpful tips:
    • Arrive early: Give yourself time to get familiar with the layout and terrain.
    • Check accessibility: Many events have designated viewing areas and accessible facilities.
    • Bring a waterproof cover: If the weather turns, you’ll want to keep your cast or bandage protected.
    • Take breaks: Use the built-in park brake to rest whenever you need.
     
    Hire or Buy - The Choice Is Yours
     
    Not sure if you'll need a knee walker long-term? We offer flexible rental options so you can hire one just for the festival period. And with delivery direct to your door and simple setup, it’s one less thing to worry about as you prep for the big day.
     
    Recover Your Freedom with StrideOn
