The Benefits
The MEDICOVI® Watersole range offers many benefits to many ailments such as:
Arthritis
Movement, movement and more movement in connection with dynamic pressure load relief is the foundation of the orthopaedic developments behind MEDICOVI® soles. The sensory water filled massage sole which is the foundation of all the MEDICOVI® sole types, provokes the foot to move, when the foot is exposed to pressure loads.
Heel Spurs
The importance of wearing good shoes cannot be overemphasized. Sturdy walking shoes are to be preferred over soft, floppy shoes that hardly support the foot; shoes with high heels are to be avoided.
Diabetes
Movement, movement and more movement in connection with dynamic pressure load relief is the foundation of the orthopaedic developments behind MEDICOVI® soles. The sensory water filled massage sole which is the foundation of all the MEDICOVI® sole types, provokes the foot to move, when the foot is exposed to pressure loads.
Forefoot Problems
When standing, the body weight will slowly compress the skin layers including blood vessels, capillaries and veins under the bones at the front of the foot, whereby the supply of energy to the supporting cells in the skin layers will be reduced or stopped for a longer period of time. Together with a relatively poor blood circulation when standing, this will often result in a fast consumption of the stored energy in the supporting skin cells, thereby reducing the cells' carrying capacity. Tiredness and pain will occur when the carrying capacity has dropped to a certain level.
The hydraulic pressure wave in the MEDICOVI® -sole will create
a continuous massage of the surface under the foot, thereby distributing
and reducing the pressure load and preventing excessive compression
of the blood vessels, capillaries and veins under the supporting
bones in the foot. This effect improves from MEDICOVI® -Front
to MEDICOVI® -D40 and moreover, the effect is bigger for MEDICOVI®
-D50 than it is for MEDICOVI® -D40.
Furthermore, due to the changing strains the individual supporting
skin cells in the ball of the foot will be strained through a series
of short intervals and not during a few long intervals. By creating
this form of strain, an improved energy supply to the supporting
cells can be established during the short intervals and thereby
improving the carrying capacity of the ball of the foot.
The massage providing effect created by the MEDICOVI® -sole will provoke the foot to much more frequent movements. This will be transmitted upwards to the moving apparatus and the balancing system will react through a more frequent activation of the foot, calf and thigh muscles and the venous pumping system will be activated. The provoked movement created by the MEDICOVI® -sole will increase the blood circulation, partly through relief of the surface under the foot and partly through activation of the venous pumping system.
