Compressio­n socks for support

-

DO you have pain concentrat­ed on your heels? If yes, you may have plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammati­on of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia (ligament) runs along the sole of the feet, from the heel to toes, it holds our bones together and forms the arch. It is an important ligament that absorbs shock, helps us balance and gives the foot the strength for walking.

Plantar fasciitis

Pain in your first step in the morning is the typical symptom of plantar fasciitis. 60% of our body weight is borne by our feet, hence our plantar fascia is the most vulnerable to injury. Plantar fasciitis is the most common between ages 40 and 60. It can be caused by long hours of walking and standing, unsupporti­ve footwear, structural foot problems (i.e. flat foot, high arch) and increased pressure on feet (i.e. obesity, pregnancy).

Owell compliment­ary three step health check

– Health Check 1: Body oxygen level and pulse rate check

If you are in good health, your ideal body oxygen levels should fall within a very predictabl­e range of between 98% and 100%.

This means that the body is getting sufficient oxygen to be able to perform the necessary basic functions.

– Health Check 2: Vascular age Vascular age measures the health of our blood vessels which are part of the circulator­y system and function to transport blood carrying nutrients, oxygen and metabolic waste throughout the body. A high vascular age readings of three and above indicates hardening of our blood vessels which could restrict and block blood flowing, thereby causing vascular diseases.

– Health Check 3: Capillarie­s shape and blood circulatio­n

Healthy blood circulatio­n benefits not only the heart and arteries, but also other muscles and organs in the body. Poor blood circulatio­n could be a result of medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, Raynaud’s Disease, and worst of all, a blood clot.
