WHAT ONE MEDICAL EXPERTS SAYS With 26 years experience Quincy Rabot is a leading force in the treatment of people with back and leg problems and those who've suffered sports injuries. As a leading Osteomyologist, (someone who specialises in the study of bones and muscles) he treats celebrities and some of the world's top athletes. Although the identities of his current clients are, naturally, confidential, his past patients include Olympic Gold Medallist Alan Wells, World Record breaker runner, Zola Budd, and the late great snooker player, Alex Higgins. The eminent therapist, who's based in Surrey, is in no doubt about the benefits of using Earth shoes with Negative Heel Technology - so much so that he recommends most of his patients to use them. He says: "The most common cause of back pain is bio-mechanical dysfunction of the body caused by incorrect use of the body and poor posture."

"The most pertinent indication of bad biomechanics is carrying the body's weight too far forward in the feet and towards the balls of the feet, which is called pronation. This makes the pelvis flex and tip forwards, the knees hyperextend and rotate inwards and the head to pushes forward.

"This posture can cause pain in the back, hip and knee joints, neck and
even in the head.

"In my experience the most effective way to correct this is to wear Earth with Negative Heel Technology for at least four to six hours a day."

Quincy Rabot first discovered Earth shoes 25 years ago when a Swedish
therapist gave him a pair to alleviate his back pain.

He was amazed by the results.

"The Earth shoes really did cure my back pain and improve my posture
– I was so impressed. I never had them off my feet. When I needed a
– new pair I thought they would be easy to find - but I was wrong.

"I spent the best part of 20 years looking everywhere for Earth shoes because they'd gone out of production."

Thankfully, there was light at the end of the tunnel. Much to Quincy's delight, Love Those Shoes resurrected the brand in the UK in 2003.

"I was looking through The Times one day when I came across a story about Love Those Shoes selling the Earth range and I couldn't quite believe it. It was well worth the wait."
