Walking and running are the natural way of moving for people, and the supporting pillar of our everyday functions. The necessity of proper functioning of the feet and legs is illustrated by the fact that a person takes about 8,000 steps per day and walks, in total, approximately 100,000 km during his or her life. Walking is also an efficient way of preventing and treating various illnesses.

Approximately 90% of people have such problems with, i.e. pain in, the feet or legs at some point in their life that walking and moving becomes more difficult, both at work and at leisure. Since moving is hindered by even a small problem with the feet, even a seemingly minor issue can have a crucial effect on one's general condition and the treatment or breaking out of illnesses. The foot muscles and their balance must be taken good care of to maintain the ability to move throughout one's life.
