Relieve Foot Pain with Joya

Causes, Symptoms, and Solutions

Cover Image
Our feet carry us through 8,000 steps a day, nearly 3 million a year, and close to 240 million in a lifetime. No other part of the body carries such a heavy burden.

Most of those millions of steps we take on hard surfaces like concrete and asphalt – often in tight, rigid shoes. The result: our feet are restricted, and the impact with each step can’t be properly absorbed or distributed. The many small muscles and tendons that are meant to work together and support the foot’s natural cushioning system become strained.

This often leads to the following foot problems:

  • Tendonitis
  • Ligament tears
  • Heel spurs
  • Hallux valgus
  • Plantar fasciitis

Heel Spur or Plantar Fasciitis?

Heel Spur

A heel spur is a calcium deposit that develops as a result of overstressed tissue or bone. Even small spurs can cause intense pain, regardless of their size or shape.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot due to overuse. The result is intense pain when walking.

Preventing Foot Pain

When it comes to pain, one rule always applies: act quickly to prevent it from getting worse. If left untreated, the condition can worsen, making recovery slower and potentially more painful.

These three tips will help you take better care of your feet in everyday life:

Icon
Awareness Stretch your foot muscles regularly to release tension.

Movement Walk regularly. Whether it’s a short stroll during your lunch break or the walk from the bus stop to your home – gentle walking simply feels good.
Icon
Regeneration Treat your feet to a fascia massage using a foam roller. This can also help loosen tight or stuck fascia tissue.

Shoes Walking barefoot boosts circulation and strengthens the foot muscles. The soft, elastic soles of Joya shoes have the same effect. With every step, you’re doing something good for your health.

Pressure Distribution – The Secret to Healthy Feet

Joya shoes support the body’s natural shock-absorption system with their soft-elastic soles. In contrast, stiff and narrow shoes can interfere with this system and lead to poor pressure distribution, as shown in the graphics below. This is why Joya shoes are increasingly recommended by orthopedists.

The feet are particularly strained at the heel area of the shoe and the forefoot area.

The soft-elastic Joya sole distributes pressure evenly and thus reduces the overall strain on the foot.
