My first meeting with Gary was a revelation. A simple explanation of my problem followed by a choice of solutions gave me hope. Since receiving my AFO I have not only continued activities I previously did but have expanded them to include Alpine Walking and Snowboarding. Meeting Gary was a genuinely life changing experience."
