Hi Dianne, An 80+ friend Elvira, had first one then the other knee done in th UK and both were very good.
Des, a neighbour, also had two done here in South Africa, one after the other but was in considerable pain until she was invited to visit an orthotics builder, Marrissa Nel, who checked her foot pressure patterns, made shoe inserts and now happiness prevails. The foot pressure pattern was obtained by walking on a moving belt 'floor' with sensors to a graphics display.
