Can you introduce yourself?

My name is Jean-François Craipeau and I am a farrier.

How long have you been doing this business?

I started this business in 1998.

What are the difficulties of the job?

In France, the professional lifespan of a farrier is around 20 years. We have postures that are very restrictive at the lumbar level because in France, they do shoeing in the English way. That is to say, farrier has no foot content. He holds the feet himself and also does the shoeing.

How long have you been using the exoskeleton?

So I've been using the exoskeleton on a daily basis at work for a few months now, what I think is that it's revolutionary.

What changes in your life?

I no longer have lower back pain, it's over. It has transformed my professional life but also my private life.

Isn't that too restrictive?

It is not not bulky, it is a product that is quite close to the body and reacts to all your movements so there is no problem.

A quick word to conclude?

To conclude, if you want to work in the comfort and well-being, it is a Great solution.
