What are orthopedic mats?

Thirty percent of children under the age of six have a foot defect. In adulthood, 50 percent of the population has acquired defects. What causes it?

The main factor is lack of stimulus for proper development. Podiatrists and physiotherapists encourage barefoot walking on a variety of surfaces. In fact, the very first contact of the foot with the floor shapes the arch of your child, which will affect his entire physiological development. The variety of surfaces on which they walk is most important for the proper formation of the arch and strengthening of the muscles of the lower limbs and the middle of the body. Hard, soft, cold, warm, prickly, soft, flat or convex.

MUFFIK orthopedic mats bring healthy barefoot walking to your home.

With a plethora of natural surfaces in different hardnesses and in a variety of colours, you can take a walk in the woods, perhaps while brushing your teeth in your own bathroom. The foot stimulation and balancing elements of the pads not only prevent flat feet, sunken arches, valgus ankles and knees, but are also very successful in alleviating and eliminating problems that have already arisen. However, orthotic pads are not primarily intended for children, but are also of great use for adults. They bring a variety of surfaces to stimulate the foot, strengthen the arches, lower leg muscles and the entire mid-body.

Reflexology massages while walking on the floors lower blood pressure, which results in the release of tension and stress.

By stimulating individual points on the soles of the feet, we can positively influence the function of internal organs, the nervous system, glands or the motor apparatus and thus harmonize physical and mental processes. In the elderly, walking on orthopedic mats reduces the clotting and viscosity of red blood cells, which are the main factors in cardiovascular diseases (heart, blood vessels, veins).

Due to their unique design and function, orthopedic mats support the natural development and rehabilitation of people of all ages.
