Even though he has been so successful treating the elite sports people he has not lost his core patient base which include children and adults suffering common foot, leg and low back problems.
It was during this time that Abbie decided that a more effective orthotic treatment was needed and traveled extensively overseas with his Research & Development team to develop more effective orthotic product .
On his return he invented a range of products using a concept patented worldwide which he described as ‘Dual Density’ - two hardnesses of material covalently joined together to give both comfort and control - a world first in orthotic design.
Abbie is well known for his desire to help people and in year 2000 worked to develop a low cost medical orthotic product which practitioners can modify in their own surgery and this has subsequently assisted in the development of the retail version Pedistep®. |
