CUTTING EDGE ORTHOTIC DESIGN
I want to thank Brother Michael Boltman and Pedbasis MSD Inc. for his assistance in procuring orthotics for my work boots. It is part of our benefits and something I never used. I was speaking with Art White (Brother of Ron White) Business Manager for Sheet Metal Workers Local 30 who has used Brother Boltman's service for over 5 years. There was a great recommendation from the Florida Panthers hockey team as well. After 8 months I have to say that I no longer have foot fatigue. When visiting sites, particularly the nuclear projects I've had the opportunity to put them to the test.
Taking care of your feet ought to be part of your regular body checklist for health. Many of us ignore symptoms that lead to future injury or result in long term additional costs to our benefit plans including short and long term.
All these benefits are to keep you safe and healthy. Combining the boot allowance and orthotics are the perfect companions to your foot health. If you find that you have complications with your feet, do not hesitate to look into orthotics for yourself.
