Broken leg recovery: hydrotherapy fins

Using shinfin^TM fins for various hydrotherapy strengthening exercises helps Vicki’s recovery from her broken leg. Despite her swollen ankle, the fins still fit her. Furthermore, they don’t make her ankles ache like normal foot flippers. They are lighter and easier to pack into her bag because they don’t have a bulky foot pocket. She also found them quite good to walk in as they leave her feet free, .

Vicki’s review from Sandy Bay, Australia

“Have enjoyed swimming with the fins. After one recent swim, I tried a normal pair of flippers on and found them quite hard work on my ankle that is still aching at the end of the day! No such problems with shinfin^TM fins. They also happen to fit in the swimming bag a bit easier too!”

Better balance, safer: water therapy fins

Following a heart attack and some strokes, Lyn’s father (81) balances better and feels safer using shinfin^TM fins for his water therapy. They make it easier and safer for him to walk and stand in the water because they leave his feet free. He finds the smooth kick from his entire leg much easier because they lift his body more horizontal and streamlined.

Lyn’s review from Sydney, Australia

“Congratulations on an excellent product and great sales and service. The shinfin^TM fins have been fantastic, as they are easy to move in while entering the water and allow him to maintain balance easier while standing in the water. The distribution of the energy through the entire leg, rather than just the ankle, also means it is much easier and takes less energy, to kick. The confidence factor, in that he feels safer, is also important.”
