Since 1988 Robert has solved the cause of problems for many thousands of people in Australia.
In recent years we have been treating about one thousand new people a year and looking after long term patients, consulting in capital cities with many travelling from remote locations to see us. We are increasingly seeing overseas people who stress that our type of treatment is not available back home in Florida or New York for example. On reaching home they check out their relatives and email us saying “Hey! we need you over here”.
Robert originally began treating runners but increasingly over time, as well as treating the athletic to prevent their running injuries, also solved the cause of ongoing walking problems to enable some to just get through their working day as well as resuming their golf, bushwalking and other recreational activities that mean so much to their quality of life. They are very dedicated to the treatment, determined to return to their recreation saying things like “I’ve put on so much weight because I can’t walk” or ‘ I’ve got to get a life! I haven’t been able to play golf for months!”
We see young children and teenagers whose parents are concerned with their awkward running, them not wanting to play sport, legs ache after just walking or that they trip over their own feet - just like Robert did when he was young.
Of a more serious nature are the elderly, and some not so old, who have
been assured that they must have hip or knee replacement surgery. Walking
around realigned by the orthotics, they experience improvements day by day.
The pain has gone and they have begun the road to recovery. Slowly but surely
their bone and the articular cartilage surface of the joint, both of which
is living tissue, has a chance to begin to heal and reverse the process.
It’s is described by many patients as marvelous but it is pure science
and precise and hard work. Robert applies basic principles of science, and
the people that come to see us are concerned enough about their well being
to be actively involved in the treatment, dedicated to simply wear the orthotics
constantly to walk perfectly for the first time in their life. They had found
that medications and other therapies had not worked, there is no magic pill
and drastic options like surgery were out of the question.
Originally working from Adelaide, now based in Brisbane where Robert and the team manufacture the devices. The patent was originally examined and approved around the world then registered in the USA and Australia.
"Robert, yes, please put the following testimonial on your website, as I am absolutely sure that about this, and I hope I could prevent others, from the trauma of open knee surgery. OK to use my name if you wish.
The TRCC orthotics definitely resolved my
right kneecap soreness,
and if I had them sooner, I could have prevented left kneecap surgery
in 2004."

"I had been unable to run or even cycle for two years after I’d set a national record. I now compete and have been injury free for years!”
Paul Emery (NSW) (A record breaking Ironman Triathlete)
"Your orthotics have made some miraculous changes for me...I felt I was standing erect for the first time in my life...the pressure on my knees simply vanished... my left ankle moves as much as my right for the first time in 30 years."
Bill Zimmermann (ACT) (Teacher who could hardly stand/walk and believed he would have to give up work)
Four years later he returned saying;
"For convenience sake I went to someone local but it's not the same, didn't work so I'm back."
"I have recently returned from competing in Europe, then came 2nd in the Australian elite junior division....also 2nd in the open section in Japan. Such a successful season ..wouldn’t happen without my wonderful orthotics. Thank you for your help over the years."

(Promising Australian world class triathlete)
"I am writing to thank you for my orthotics and to let you know I am really thrilled with them. I have worn traditional orthotics for about 30 years to correct problems related to “flat feet” and for foot soreness. I had thought that these devises had helped quite a lot, but I was always aware that they had limited benefit and at times my feet were extremely inflamed. Over the past year I found that the old orthotics were extremely unsuitable and the pain in my feet became severe. As I work in a nursery I need to stand and walk all day, so I was experiencing a lot of pain and discomfort, especially at night after work. A podiatrist made a half hearted attempt to build up the correction in the orthotics, which only worsened the condition. I was feeling quite desperate, so was extremely excited when I saw your advert in the paper and looked up your website. I have been so thrilled with your orthotics Even after a few weeks I can tell a big difference. I can honestly say they felt great the first time I tried them on. It feels SO COMFORTABLE to walk now and I really look forward to walking, just to experience the feeling of satisfaction and relief !!I also have a severe back injury and I feel as if the pressure on my lower back has been reduced significantly. I do not have pain in my legs and feet every night and I have had no sciatic pain. I feel incredibly grateful to you for your research into this field and the resulting devices you have created."
Best wishes and sincere thanks.

Hi Linda and Robert,
"Frank would like to order a second pair of orthotics. I have to report
that both Frank and I are thrilled with the orthotics. It has especially
made a dramatic change to Frank’s gait...he no longer walks like
a duck!! The knee pain was alleviated immediately. The change has been
remarkable and I’m able to walk on the treadmill at an incline
with no knee problems."
Thanks for all your help,
Kind regards,
June Kaleveld.
