shinfinTM fins lift Stuart’s legs horizontal to give him an effective streamlined kick with more flotation, for his aquatic therapy after extensive osteosarcoma surgery to his left leg. This is because his forward swimming motion gently pushes the fins upwards. This lifts his knees, legs, hips and upper body horizontal, for less drag and smooth swimming. Without shinfinTM fins, his legs sink. He can’t use standard foot fins.
Stuart’s review from Dapto, Australia
“I have found the shinfinTM fins very useful for me as I couldn’t use standard fins. I was unable to use my left leg for effective kicking, prior to using the shinfinTM fins, due to the effect of extensive surgery to remove an osteogenic sarcoma. The leg also tended to drag and sink. The shinfinTM fins have allowed me to more or less have a normal kicking action and have also provided a degree of flotation. I am very impressed with the shinfinTM fins.”
Stuart’s review: Flotation & effective kick fins following osteosarcoma surgery
“I have found the shinfinTM fins very useful for me. My daughter found your website, when I went back to swimming, and thought they would be of use as I couldn’t use standard fins. I was unable to use my left leg for effective kicking, prior to using the shinfinTM fins, due to the effect of extensive surgery to remove an osteogenic sarcoma. The leg also tended to drag and sink.

That is wonderful to hear how the shinfinTM fins have helped you get back into swimming after your osteosarcoma surgery. We get a lot of feedback like that.
I’d love to hear how you progress over the next few swims if you get a moment to email me, and then perhaps I’ll be able to offer a few tips.
Can I ask a favour please? Would you mind if I put some extracts from your emails on the website?

Thank you for your kind permission Stuart. Personal recommendation is very important to help a new product like this along, so I really appreciate it.
Conclusion
shinfinTM fins give you an effective streamlined kick with more flotation, so they are useful for many types of aquatic therapy such as after osteosarcoma surgery. Because your forward swimming motion gently pushes the fins upwards, this lifts your knees, legs, hips and upper body horizontal. This reduces drag and gives you smooth swimming. So shinfinTM fins can stop your legs sinking, unlike standard foot fins.
These other reviews also illustrate customers using shinfinTM fins for no sinking legs, with osteonecrosis, for hip therapy, recovery from back surgery with multiple sclerosis and with an osseointegration below knee amputation.
