Jas Bruce, Scotland Ski Team
I have been a full time athlete with Scottish Ski Team for the last three years. Until I consulted Toni Blacklock of The Edinburgh Podiatry Clinic, I was using foot beds in my ski boots but had been unable to find an orthotic which I could use in all aspects of training and racing. It is fantastic to have the same prescription orthotics which can be used in every piece of footwear I use, from running spikes to competition ski boots. Toni was really helpful having my orthotics specially made as we have to adhere to height restrictions on equipment when skin racing.
I feel a lot more balanced in my ski boots and can create a much better body position because of the way my feet are now positioned. The same orthotics are used in my trainers and using them all the time has helped my knees and back stay aligned. I can strongly recommend Toni to any athlete or indeed any individual requiring a podiatrist.
