As the summer holiday season approaches, it's the perfect time to indulge in activities that rejuvenate our body and mind. While vacations often involve relaxation, adventure, and exploration, it's important to prioritise our overall health and wellbeing. A great way to stay in tune, unwind and find balance is reflexology. And with reflexology footwear, the benefits are all the more accessible.

In our pursuit of personal growth and happiness, it's essential to prioritise our overall wellbeing. There is good evidence that five specific things can make a big difference to someone’s sense of wellbeing. They’re called the Five Ways to Wellbeing.

Self-care is an important aspect of maintaining overall health and well-being. One unique and effective self-care treatment is reflexology, an ancient healing practice that has been used for thousands of years in various cultures and civilizations.

According to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), a vegan diet can help to reduce the risk of developing certain diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

As the new year rolls around, many of us are thinking about ways to improve our health and well-being. One technique that can provide long-term benefits is reflexology massage. Reflexology is a form of massage that focuses on the feet, hands, and ears, and it is based on the idea that these body parts are connected to specific organs and systems in the body.

It's that time of year again – the holiday season is upon us, and for many of us, that means indulging in delicious food, spending time with loved ones, and generally enjoying the festivities. But with all the fun and merriment, it's important to remember to take care of our health as well. One way to do this is by incorporating reflexology into your routine.

Every week, almost two million unwanted shoes end up in landfill. This is as much an environmental disaster as it is a tragic waste.

Especially so, as at least 280,000 homeless people in the UK (with 10,000 living on the streets), are either wearing unsuitable shoes or indeed are without shoes at all; causing damage to their foot health, academic potential, and self-esteem, all of which can have adverse long-term effects.

This is why ShoeAid, is stepping up to address footwear poverty. Help us to help them “make a difference and change lives”.

Supporting this charity is particularly important to Revs as part of our core ethos is “protecting people and planet”. After all, we’re all going round on a rolling stone and we need to do our best to look after it, and one another.

This December, Revs team is donating over 80 pairs of ‘as new’ shoes to ShoeAid in a bid to fight footwear poverty. Through their distribution network, ShoeAid will ensure the shoes donated reach those in need of proper, functional, fit for purpose footwear including school pupils, the elderly, underprivileged and homeless people.

The shoes donated to ShoeAid are what’s known as ‘as new’ condition that cannot be sold for a number of reasons. These include small aesthetic imperfections such as visible glue or discoloration. After counting stock of our ‘as new’ shoes, the team at Revs decided to donate the pairs to a good cause instead of throwing them away to end up in landfill. Over two million shoes are thrown into landfills every year and just 1 pair can take up to 1000 years to biodegrade!

While we love to extol the virtues of our amazing reflexology shoes to our customers and how they can promote general wellbeing, we know ShoeAid will ensure they are given to those who really need them.

Not only are we donating Revs footwear to ShoeAid, but we have also encouraged our team to donate suitable shoes too!

We would love to encourage our customers to donate to ShoeAid too. To find out more about this fantastic charity, visit their website here: https://www.shoeaid.co.uk/.

 

Introducing 3 new styles with 3 colourways of each. As with all our reflexology sandals, the new men’s styles have been designed by reflexology experts, with revitalising soles that balance stimulation with comfort and promote healthy blood flow and circulation, resulting in natural relief of symptoms relating to health conditions including Plantar Fasciitis, back pain and arthritis, whilst helping maintain good poise, posture and movement.

May 2022 saw the release of Davina McCall's documentary, ‘Sex, Myths and Menopause’, a programme exploring a woman’s journey through the menopause. The noise created on social media, in the news and on social forums by Davina’s documentary has been staggering.

Since starting our reflexology journey over 10 years ago, Revs® Reflexology Footwear has helped thousands of customers revitalise their body and sole through our massage sandals, slippers and insoles. And while we’re extremely proud of the results we have achieved, eventually there comes a time when one chapter has to end and another begins.

When founder and owner Jen started Revs Reflexology Footwear, it was with the sole purpose to provide people with the benefits of reflexology in a more convenient and time effective way than booking treatments (although these are still great to keep up).

The theme for this Mental Health Awareness Week is Loneliness. Feeling alone doesn't necessarily mean you're cut off from other people. Some of the loneliest people are surrounded by others, but it's how you connect emotionally that makes all the difference.
