For anyone who wonders what I do on holiday. Your support helps people unable to access the care that we can offer you and your kids get the help they need. Your support enables donation of me, time, materials, equipment and training local health professionals to do some things after I leave. This is me in Egypt, where I regularly come. Mobile podiatry takes on a while new meaning. Orthotic making in a metal workshop! Huge shout out to Ibrahim, Amir and Shawkat for working together with me to come up with a very creative solution using what we get and finding a space in a metalwork workshop to make these custom orthoses for the *most* extreme flexible flat feet I have ever seen, forefoot abduction at 45 degrees and I suspect possibly even weight bearing on talus. Never seen anything like it. 15yo boy.

Those impressionable years watching Macgyver paid off at last lol



For the pods: I donated my own Dola's and added extra RF varus +++, a 4mm eva MLA pad D shape to increase navicular support and EVA arch fill. Amazing result. I think this is a good way to progress in places such as this.

Very proud to be a stockist of the incredible Suzy's Body Balm. Simply amazing on dry, cracked or damaged skin, and superb for healing grazes and burns... anything and everything. I love using it on my cuticles which dry out from washing my hands so often. Hand made here in Hobart by Suzy from premium organic ingredients primarily olive oil and beeswax, which makes it so potent. No cheap fillers in sight, no preservatives because of the premium ingredients. It smells and feels divine and phenomenal value at $15 for a 70g tub.

This looks very promising for arthritis and fibromylagia sufferers. Apparently helpful for nerve pain too. A native Tasmanin essential oil.
