Achilles tendonitis is a condition of irritation and inflammation of the large tendon in the back of the ankle. Achilles tendonitis is a common problem that tends to occur in athletes, lack of flexibility and over-pronation (foot rolling inwards) are main cause. Inflammation of the Achilles tendon develops gradually and cause burning or piercing pain, stiffness, mild swelling. often over-pronation (foot rolling inwards). A sudden change of routine activity or the higher level of exercise than the usual could cause the Achilles tendon. Any activities such as sitting or standing in the same position for a prolonged time can cause the inflammation by repeatedly stressing the tendon. Sustaining bad posture or wearing improper shoes during athletic activity can be the reason for the pain.

Why do American doctors recommend Z-CoiL footwear to their patients with feet, leg, knee and back pain?
More than 90% of the foot, leg, knee, and back pain is caused by inflammation. If you have a pain when you press such area, it means that you have inflammation on that area.
To eliminate inflammation, reducing the repeated impact on the feet, leg, knee and back, and continuously massaging on the area will increase blood flow through capillaries, then, the pain is usually gone.
Z-Coil shoes can help with this. Our springs reduce impact on your body up to 50%, and our rigid Z-Orthotic cradles the foot, equalizing pressure distribution. Therefore, your feet can be gently rolling while walking. And It will increase blood flow just like massaging effect that inflammation will be easily gone.
For example, in the case of plantar fasciitis, the best way to help naturally cure while standing and walking on daily basis is to reduce a direct impact on soles and massage their feet sufficiently to increase blood flow. Just wearing Z-CoiLs helps to do that!
Increased Mobility in the Right Shoes
Imagine taking a road trip in a heavy-duty truck with little shock absorption and a no-frills cab. Every bump in the road is transferred into your body. You will arrive at your destination feeling worn out and needing rest. If you take the same trip in a luxury car, you will arrive feeling rested, ready to explore and enjoy your new surroundings. The difference in travel experience is comparable to moving about in regular shoes versus Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear®. Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear provides a luxury experience that allows you to travel on foot with ease, and that keeps you moving farther faster.
How Z-CoiL Shoes Increase Mobility
When people have lower body pain, they often limit their activity to minimize painful movements. When staying sedentary isn't an option, walking posture may change and may be reduced to shuffling to minimize the pain felt in the foot, knee, hip and lower back joints. Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear's patented technology and innovative design deliver significant impact reduction, which provides immediate lower body joint pain relief, at the same time it provides energy return with each step that combats fatigue. Z-CoiL customers describe the feeling as gliding vs. walking. Over time, effortless pain-free steps actually lead to an overall increase in mobility for Z-CoiL wearers. Our shoes actually encourage wearers to lengthen the stride of their gait, which means they cover more ground with each step, so they move farther faster.
Why Increased Mobility is Significant
Chronic pain in the foot, leg and back limits mobility and diminishes the quality of life. A smooth, effortless gait is essential to maintaining an active lifestyle. When you can continue to stand, walk and run, you can get the exercise you need to naturally combat painful conditions, like osteoarthritis, and maintain overall health. Shoes that equip you to handle the stresses of standing, walking and running on unforgiving surfaces can prevent impact-induced injuries. Injury limits mobility as well as avoids other costly and invasive pain relief treatments, like cortisone shots, prescription pain blockers and surgery.
