Am I impressed with Firefly? Totally! I've told everyone about Firefly, because people can't believe the changes in Josh. From not being able to stand, to now being able to run!
Aileen, mother of Josh (6) with Cerebral Palsy
As an athlete who was experiencing severe Achilles pain, I thought the injury would force me to quit running. After a consultation with Firefly, I was fitted with orthotics that have eradicated the pain and given me the confidence to train more often and run faster.
Michael, amateur runner, Sligo
Firefly were the first to actually explain what the problem was with my ankles and give me treatment that works without medication. When I first went to Firefly, my ankles were swollen, red and very painful, but now I'm back to walking up the stairs and hill walking at weekends.
Carolyn, Dublin
Firefly have played a pivotal role in my recovery from injury, in which I missed an entire season. I had problems with my biomechanics and foot plant which have been resolved after wearing Firefly's orthotics. Firefly also provide different orthotics for my spikes and racing flats which are beneficial to my performance and most importantly prevent injury.
