I was a runner who couldn't run (bad knees, stress fractures, etc) and had turned to cycling to try and stay sane (and in shape). A bike fitter I trust turned me on to Kevin, and I'm grateful he did-- thanks to Kevin's insoles, I'm back to running again! Thanks Kevin!

I have been dealing with severe knee pain on the inside of my left knee. Kevin stayed at my Airbnb and gave me a consultation on our rooftop deck. I’ve never been more blown away with what he discovered measuring my body like a mechanical engineer and then explained the mechanics step by step of my own body. I have gone to doctors, my general practitioner as well as specialists and I have been doing exercises however Kevin carefully measured understood the mechanics of my profession riding enduro motocross bikes and isolated the problem to be the internal rotation of my leg while shifting gears on long rides. Ends up my hip joint doesn't like or have the shape to rotate inward. The solution is to bend the shifter out and adjust my stance on and off the bike to stand wider with my feet pointed out. I immediately saw the difference and I’ve been struggling with this for years. No doctor fulling understanding or explaining the biomechanics until now. I’m 45 years old and for years I’ve had problems with my knee. As a professional organizing motocross events and riding a bike 8 to 16 hours a week on intense trails this has been an absolute life changer. We were considering surgery but the simple adjustment and mechanics and turning my foot out to match my hip shape has just been a game changer I can't thank Kevin enough. He recommended some inserts that would help and if he comes back to South Africa I'll have to take him up on that. For now, I'm adjusting by riding boots and shifter and adjusting the way I walk and having fantastic improvement.

I saw Kevin after a recommendation from my podiatrist after suffering for years with mechanics based foot problems. I have almost every single ITIS in the medical journal! Kevin spent time analyzing my gait, measuring my range of motion on both feet and ankles, and coming up with creative solutions to strengthen and help my natural mechanics to prevent further tendinitis issues. His insight is truly invaluable as most doctors and physical therapists are focused on solving short term problems (such as inflammation, broken bones, torn ligaments/tendons, etc). Kevin is focused on solving the root causes of poor mechanics, inflammation, tendinitis, etc. As anyone with chronic foot problems knows, you can't put a dollar value on being able to walk without pain or discomfort. His thoughtfulness and experience is truly world class.

I saw Kevin after the two pair of orthotics molded by my foot doctor made my feet hurt and I could no longer wear them. Kevin spent an hour with me to analyze my feet (I have virtually no arch) and made a new mold. He is passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about feet and orthotics. During the time I went without orthotics, I learned from Kevin how to walk differently and use more of my front foot and after 2 weeks, I could walk without pain--and without an orthotic! So now I am trying the new orthotics from Kevin which are an improvement, but I am now deciding if I feel better using the new orthotics or whether I can go without. Thanks Kevin for your care and knowledge.
