Joya for Foot Pain

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. That makes them the part of the body that has to bear the greatest load.

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 pressure when stepping cannot be distributed properly. The many small muscles and tendons that are meant to work together and support the foot’s cushioning system suffer.

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 calcification of overstressed tissue/bone that can cause severe pain regardless of its size or length.

Plantar Fasciitis

In plantar fasciitis, the tendon plate on the sole of the foot becomes inflamed due to overuse. The result is severe pain when walking.

Prevent Foot Pain

When it comes to pain, one rule always applies: act as quickly as possible to prevent it from getting worse. Once the problem has progressed, healing becomes lengthy and, in some cases, painful.

With these three tips, you can do something good for your feet in everyday life:

Icon
Mindfulness Stretch your foot muscles regularly to release tension.
Icon
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
Recovery Treat your feet to a fascia rolling massage. This can also help loosen stuck fascia.

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

Pressure Distribution – The Secret to Healthy Feet

Joya shoes support the body’s own shock-absorption system with their soft-elastic sole. Hard and restrictive shoes hinder this and cause poor pressure distribution, as the graphics below show. Orthopedists therefore increasingly recommend Joya shoes.

The heel and forefoot areas are under above-average strain.

Pressure Distribution in Conventional Shoes

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

Pressure Distribution Barefoot

Pressure Distribution in Joya Shoes

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