ALL WALKS OF LIFE HELP LAUNCH TOG INTERNATIONAL

All walks of life were represented at the Fitzwilliam Hotel, Dublin 2 at the launch of TOG International in Ireland, today Tuesday March 4th. TOG International (whose new website www.toginternational.com was also launched), provide custom made TOGS Insoles to ease foot, ankle, knee, hip and lower back pain. The worlds of fine dining, top level sport and journalism were all represented by a parade of TOG ambassadors along St Stephens Green, all of whom have seen the benefits of wearing TOGS Insoles as part of their daily routine.  TOGS are custom made insoles, as individual as a pair of glasses, and are prescribed and specifically built to meet the individual biomechanical and lifestyle needs of each patient.

Sally Ann Clarke of l’Ecrivain fame joined boxing sensation Katy Taylor, rugby star Eric Miller, socialite and journalist Amanda Brunker in explaining the benefit their custom made TOGS have made to their daily lives.  Also on hand extolling the virtues of Orthotic technology were GAA stars Barry Cahill and Gerry Quinn, adventurer and mountaineer Hannah Sheilds (climbed Mt Everest 2007) and Camogie All Star Aoife Cullen.

Dr Travis McDonough, Managing Director of TOG international explained the benefits that custom made Orthotics can have from a medical perspective:

“We spend so much of our time on our feet; walking, running, working or playing sports and the number of people who suffer ill effects from the stress and strain put on their feet is quite staggering.  In fact, the majority of lower limb ailments are caused by what we call faulty foot function. TOG International uses the revolutionary TOG GaitScan™ technology to scan an individual’s foot and prescribe a preventative treatment in the form of custom made insoles or TOGS as they are better known. The technology therefore looks beyond just treating symptoms but ascertains the root cause of the problem.”

Katy Taylor, European Boxing Champion and Irish Ladies Soccer International, spoke of the help her TOGS Insoles are to her sporting activities:
“Obviously both boxing and soccer rely heavily on balance and strength all of which emanates from my feet. Since I was fitted with my insoles I find the strain on my back, thighs and calves has been reduced ten fold which is a major bonus. The technology is acclaimed by top level US sports stars and local sporting greats such as DJ Carey and at the top level of sport the advantage of wearing Orthotics can not be underestimated.”
