"When Your Feet Hurt, You Hurt All Over." - Socrates
Is it hard for you to find comfortable work shoes? At Walk2Bfit™ we've discovered that most often the problem lies in a person's feet and the fact that they are not being supported properly. The longer you're on your feet the more stress there is on your arches. Workers frequently complain of back, knee, or hip pains even though it's their misaligned feet are actually the cause.
FACTS
In 1983, the American Podiatric Medical Association reported that 83% of the U.S. work force had foot or lower leg problems resulting in discomfort and foot pain. An employee's efficiency level, concentration, willingness to work and attitude greatly decrease when he is experiencing foot pain. This can lead to inattention on the part of employees, and, possibly, injuries.
This page provides information on ergonomics and biomechanics in the work place. Because what you do on your feet may require you to make important decisions that sometimes can mean the difference between life and death, or the bottom line of your company -- we'd like to help you keep your mind on your job, not your feet.
The percentage of employees that have foot and leg pain is increasing because of the longer standing requirements on cement flooring. Most businesses have replaced wood floors from 50+ years ago with concrete, which is damaging to the lower extremities because it provides minimal resistance and no shock absorbency.
