Stockholm part 3

As our course on inshoe medical devices came to an end, I really want to congratulate Karolina, Björn, Mitra, Dariusz, Sinar, Helen and Lena for the fantastic work they did in this intensive 5 week course on biomechanics and orthotic therapy!
PJ, my main man, as always it was an absolute delight, but you know this…
Now, an extra couple of days to visit the wonderfull city of Stockholm, drinks and good food…
Life can be so wonderfull…jihaaa!

If this ain’t talent (part2)

The folowing was brought to my attention.
again putting me with both feet on the ground, sending shivers down my spine!
Amazing how you judge people from second one…and how much you can be mistaken…
Enjoy!

Stockholm part 2

After my first visit to Stockholm, our 5 week module is already in week 3 making this our second visit of 3.
This time we’re going to make basic root orthotics, combining this with a bit of background o biomechanical methodologies and extra clinical testing to make the visit worthwile.
It’s amazing how our Artevelde University College is cooperating with the Karolinska Institutet, Sweden.  Last time we were here, colleagues from creative therapy were here, and now, we have the pleasure of 2 colleagues of Audiology.
It looks like t’ s going to be again an intesive 3 days.  But i’ll keep you posted…

A taste of indulgence

Early birthday times for me and the missus.  One of our common splurges is the joy of a great cup of coffee…
We threw everything overboard, and bought ourselves a brand new Citiz. 16 different Grand Crus of the Nespresso family are a joy for the taste buds! The taste of a cup of coffee has never been so diverse.  Even our first ’crema’ production was just ecstatic!
Now it’s just sitting back, relax, and enjoy…

Stockholm project part 1

Last week, 7 brave students of the Karolinska Podiatry programme started our 5 week intensive orthotic course.  For this programme we will visit no less then 3 times the beautifull city of Stockholm, with the first visit being 1-3 of April.
In short, Early mornings, short nights, and a lot of teaching and fun!
Here are some video’s on the plastering techniques
