How Barefoot Science Works

Barefoot Science is an intelligent solution to an age-old problem that has never been solved by traditional orthotics. Pain and dysfunction is caused by muscle weakness, so it follows that strengthening is the path to wellness.

The standard treatment for foot and joint pain is orthotics or device loaded shoes which effectively brace the foot, preventing movement. However, we believe this is not the solution. Through rehabilitation and strengthening work, Barefoot Science builds a better foundation for pain free movement.

A Stronger Foundation

Architects know that arches lend strength. The arch in our feet works similarly, absorbing pressure and supporting our weight. An increased arch height results in a more even weight distribution across the joints of the foot, decreasing tension on the plantar fascia. Barefoot Science works to build arch strength by stimulating the muscles in the foot, building strength over a short period of time.

The Barefoot Feeling

Our feet were designed to be bare. Bare feet feel the ground better and can react quickly to changes on the ground. Barefoot Science stimulates the body’s innate proprioception, enabling you to better sense your feet, and improving balance and stability.

A Gradual and Dramatic Change

With its’ dome-shaped insole, Barefoot Science begins by progressively stimulating receptors in the soles of the feet and building new muscle. While it is doing this, it is also creating new neural pathways to help your body’s natural sense of alignment and balance. Each time a new insert is placed into the dome, forcing your foot to work harder. The end result is a proven increase in arch strength and height, balance, foot stability, and ultimately, a stronger kinetic chain.

Posture+ is not a simple cushion.  It contains APS™ Technology and Advanced Core Materials™.  It was designed so you can automatically sit with optimal sitting posture, anytime, anywhere.  Andwith the impact absorbing, all-conditions skin you can sit from the office chair to a rock hard surface with greater comfort, longer.  Here is how it works:
 
1) Our patented Applied Postural Science (APS™) corrects your posture
You know that you are supposed to sit better, but it's hard. Our APS Technology automatically tilts, cups, and floats your pelvis upright so you can find your most balanced and comfortable posture.   
 
2) Posture+ naturally maintains your posture while you sit
You move when you sit – so Posture+ moves with you - freeing your pelvis to actively stabilize your spine.  It automatically adapts to your movements to provide constant strain free comfort andoptimal posture; and you won’t have to even think about it.
 
3) BackJoy engages your core muscles
You know how important your core is, but when you sit your core is not engaged. Posture+ dynamically supports your pelvic floor to engage your core. With natural balance and support, you will feel comfortable, stronger and less fatigued after sitting for long periods of time.
