Flat floors damage your body Walking on flat floors in shoes with heels limits the movement of the feet, which causes uneven pressure & weakening of the muscles. This can lead to constrained and incorrect postures as well as stress pains on the musculoskeletal system, which increase over time. A weak foot musculature is the main cause of: • Back pain • Knee- and hip damage • Vein disorders • Foot diseases such as hallux and heel spur • Numerous other complaints Walk yourself fit In the kybun shoe, standing and walking on the elastic, springy surface, distributes the weight evenly and allows the foot maximum freedom of movement. This protects the joints, trains the muscles and balances postures. Walking on the elastic springy kybun sole: • Allows a natural distribution of pressure on the foot • Protects the joints • Relaxes and relieves the back • Activates the leg and vein circulation • Trains the deep muscles Red areas Yellow areas Green areas Blue areas Excessive pressure. Leads inevitably to chronic strain reactions over longer periods Average pressure load. To avoid calluses, pressure points and provide relief. Low-pressure load. Foot soles are protected and put under less pressure. The distribution of the foot pressure should be as close as possible to 50:50 in relation to both the front and back andthe left and right areas. Compare the distribution between barefoot and wearing the kybun shoe and check how quickly the forces from compressed loads are absorbed.

Ingrown Toenails? PlantarWarts? Hard to Cut Toenails? Corns/Calluses? Sore: Feet By Don M. Winn Dyslexic students can be particularly vulnerable to negative reactions from parents, teachers, and peers. Most edu- cational models value results, not effort, and when results are not forthcoming from the dyslexic student. Observers may conclude is that the student simply doesn't care enough to do the hard work that will get the job done. What can parents and teachers of a dys- lexic child do to help lessen the feelings of shame that the child might be dealing with? Here are some suggestions: • Don't make dyslexia a big secret. If something is a secret, it's scary. It is hu- man nature to fill information voids with worst-case scenarios. Ironically, a deci- sion made to protect a child from a diag- nosis of dyslexia can often breed shame and fear. • When a student who has been test- ed for dyslexia sees parents and teach- ers whispering together, it screams of shame. Parents and teachers can help prevent this by discussing a diagnosis of dyslexia openly with the child in a way that won't cause them embarrassment. • With the right information, parents and teachers can develop an academic plan to help dyslexic students minimize their weaknesses and maximize their strengths. Students can be involved in crafting this plan as well. • Help your children be their own ad- vocates. In time, they will have to speak up for themselves in order to receive the assistance or accommodation they need in a learning environment, so get them in- volved in their own education at an early age, keeping their level of involvement age-appropriate. • If your child shows signs of dyslexia at a young age, consider having him or her tested. It may be easier for children to know early in their school careers that they have an actual, specific problem that many other people share than to spend years feeling stupid or bad about them- selves because, for some unknown rea- son, they can't keep up with other stu- dents. • Encourage your children to speak openly about their dyslexia. • Help your children discover and focus on their strengths. • Identify and address the obstacles your child faces--dyslexia is a very personal ex-child faces--dyslexia is a very personal ex-child faces--dyslexia is a very personal ex perience, various difficulties present them- selves in varying degrees and aspects, and a customized plan will maximize results and minimize stress on the child. • Help your children develop patience, tenacity, and perseverance. • Introduce your child to the multitude of successful dyslexics in our world. More and more adults are 'coming out' about their struggles with dyslexia: Steven Spielberg, Magic Johnson, actors Henry Winkler, Mark Ruffalo, and Tom Cruise, Attorney David Boies, businessmen Charles Schwab and Richard Branson, and more. The more dys- lexics your child can see having success- ful, fulfilling lives, the more they will believe they can succeed as well. Effectively communicating the causes of your child's struggles helps defuse the foundation for shame, identifies the way through these challenges for the child, and clarifies the next steps they need to take. We can all contribute to an educational system that helps struggling readers be- lieve they can succeed and that gives them needed tools and support. Don M.
