About

Our feet are the basis for a healthy posture. However if our foot system is damaged by lack of movement, incorrect footwear or incorrect weightbearing a chain reaction arises: the whole body axes get out of balance - from the foot, knee and hip joint to the lumbar and cervical spine. Possible consequences may be back, knee and hip disorder as well as shoulder pand and headache.

And yet it is very easy to do something good for your feet. As with the flexible Birkenstock footbed our feet are trained with every step: The toe grip stimulates a grasp reflex in which the toe and calf muscles are tensed. Then the muscles relax again. Thus when walking feet and legs are trained by the continual switch from muscle tensing and relaxing and blood flow is promoted. In addition the connection tissue is firmed and the sole of the foot reinforced as a "shock absorber". All this ensures a natural, correct state of the foot, improves the stance of the whole body and thus in the end leads to an improved feeling of well-being.
