MARKET INFORMATION

What’s the motivation behind our products?

Foot Care Facts What?

• We walk more than four times the circumference of the globe *

• 52 bones in our feet make up about one quarter of all the bones in our body

– Intricate , complex system containing 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles

Medical conditions

• Plantar fasciitis= inflammation of ligaments at bottom of foot due to stress from tight calves and Achilles tendon

• Heel spur= calcaneous growth related to plantar fasciitis

• Achilles tendonites, apophysitis

• Back pain= too much stress on lower back due to little shock absorption

and little flexibility of muscles above & below lower back

• Flat feet

• Tight calved & hamstrings

Who?

• 75% of pop. will have symptoms at least once a life

• Women 4 times more prone to pain due to shoes

• Overweight & pregnant persons

*American Podiatric Medical Association 19

Stretching- Prevention & Rehabilitation

• The Body’s Interconnective chain*

1. Stretching is a fundamental way to improve overall health and fitness and prevent injuries.

2. Stretching can decrease pain and soreness after exercise, also known as DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).

3. A little as 10 minutes of stretching three days a week can improve posture, circulation, and range of motion.

4. It is imperative to stretch correctly (deep stretches of 30 seconds or more)
