Friday Evening Speakers

 

Neil Frame, MChS SRCh DPodM Podiatric Specialist spoke on behalf of Canonbury Products Limited about the Barefoot Science Foot Strengthening System.

Barefoot Science insoles safely work the foot with every step to restore the natural architecture of muscles, bones and ligaments. The insole technology uses proprioception to progressively rebuild this structure. As the muscles strengthen, the foot becomes properly aligned to form a strong base for a natural gait and healthy body.  The talk was well received by the attendees who all felt and experienced this innovative technology.
