Science & Design
Inspired By Reflexology Massage
Reflexology is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the organs, glands, muscles and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes induces a healing response and may help alleviate many health problems, ailments and pain in a natural way. The idea behind Reflexology is not new. It was practised as early as 2330 B.C. by the Egyptians, and also in India and China in 4000BC. Reflexology as we know it today was first researched and developed by Eunice Ingham, then built on this during the 1930s... Read more
Shock Absorbing Sole And Cushion Comfort
The materials for Revs have been chosen for the durability, comfort and quality. The natural rubber nodules have been carefully designed to sit within the shape and all the contours of the feet, ensuring the nodules reach every organ, gland and muscle they correspond to within your body. The rubber we use is of the highest quality to ensure the nodules have a stimulating effect yet provide a soft cushioning for your feet to ensure maximum benefit, support and comfort. The sole of the Revs shoes also contains elastomer to provide shock absorbing qualities. This not only enhances the effects of the massaging sole but also maximises the cushioning effect of the sole on your feet. It is excellent for people on their feet a lot and who need to minimise the feeling of painful or tired feet and legs.
Arch Support & Biomechanical Structure
The design of the Revs® sole incorporates a supportive orthotic arch to ensure the foot is supported at the right position and will assist with good posture and stance. Many of us adopt walking habits which can counteract good posture, causing problems with your spine, shoulders, knees etc. It is really important to ensure you wear the correct footwear to adjust your walking technique for optimum posture and stance so you do not affect other areas of your body, and this is where Revs can help. The bio-mechanics of Revs keeps both bones and joints in correct alignment, reducing strain on ligaments and muscles, allowing your body to work more efficiently. The arch support is also useful for people with flat feet or for those who need orthotic insoles. Revs provides a summer solution for orthotic footwear. Please note the flip flop range has slight arch support, all other Revs styles have the invisible orthotic arch.
A Natural Therapy
About two-thirds of leg muscles work together to pump blood back towards the heart. Veins concentrate in the soles of the feet and pressing and stimulating them appropriately promotes the blood flow throughout your body. The increase in blood flow and circulation may also help to keep your feet warm and boost your energy levels. An experiment carried out by the Shizuoka Industrial Technology Centre shows how much the sole surface temperature increases after wearing Reflexology Shoes for 30 minutes, proving the boost in blood flow and circulation.
In-Yo – Balance Mind & Body
The IN-YO is a symbol of healing and represents a state of ‘creative harmony’ or ‘dynamic balance’ IN-YO is an optimum state of being, which is why we have it at the centre of our Revs Logo, as it is our philosophy, for all our products, and to our way of working. We aim for harmony and balance to be at the very core of everything we do. The IN-YO symbol is comprised of the Sun-disc and the Crescent Moon, with the kanji character: tora [or: ko] ‘tiger’ on the left and the kanji character: tatsu [or: ryo] ‘dragon’ on the right. The tiger is symbolic of Nature, the Earth & physicality; the dragon represents the Cosmos, Heaven & spirituality.Sun & Moon, Heaven & Earth, the Cosmos & Nature, Physicality & Spirituality – the IN-YO essentially represents the dynamic interplay of all existence – the interplay between hard and soft, tension and relaxation, inhaling and exhaling, activity and rest, waking and sleeping. The Japanese term IN-YO loosely equates with the Chinese concept of Yin-Yang, the term which perhaps more people are familiar with. In traditional Chinese medicine good health is directly related to the balance between yin and yang qualities. If yin and yang become unbalanced, there is an imbalance or deficiency in the body.
