Re-Flex Shock™ by Össur - Jim Bonney's story

Re-Flex Shock™
Offering great energy return and superb shock absorption for active people, the recent addition to Össur's Flex-Foot line is a robust, high-performance foot that's ideal for heavy-duty activities and high-impact sports.

Jim Bonney broke both his ankles in a mountaineering accident in 2001. The talus bone in his right foot refused to heal and doctors advised him that fusion was the only viable recovery solution. But then a meeting with an amputee ex Paratrooper triggered Jim's subsequent research and ultimate decision to opt for elective surgery.

Through sheer determination and tenacity he went on to prove himself capable of returning to operational service in the Royal Marines -- the first lower-limb amputee ever to do so. Today, Jim heads up a unique new rehab organisation for amputees called Adventure Rehab (www.adventurerehab.co.uk)
