THE SCIENCE BEHIND
HELPING YOU MOVE AT YOUR BEST
MOVING MORE IS LIVING MORE
Record numbers of Americans are taking charge of their health and seizing every opportunity to move around throughout the day. Let’s take a look at some of the astounding benefits the science of movement can bring to your life.
FEEL MORE ENERGETIC
Along with creating stronger muscles and bones, movement boosts circulation and helps you feel more alive – in body and mind – which can drive you to get and keep moving.
FEEL MORE MOTIVATED
Staying physically active can also help reduce stress and improve brain function. Not being weighed down by life’s everyday hassles can mean you’re more motivated to move.
LIVE HEART HEALTHY
Regular exercise is vital to heart health. That’s why we’re working with the American Heart Association’s Healthy For Good™ movement to help spread the word about the importance and benefits of movement.
BETTER MOVEMENT FROM THE GROUND UP
It all starts with your feet. Moving more has vast health benefits, and since your feet are the key to it all, Dr. Scholl’s is passionate about the science of biomechanics. Understanding how your body works to create movement helps us make products that help you manage pain, discomfort, and fatigue right at the source, so you can keep moving with ease and joy.
IT ALL STARTS WITH YOUR FEET
With every step, kick, jump – you name it – your feet keep you stable. And they literally take a pounding, sometimes as much as 2 to 3 times your body weight! That leads to tired, achy feet. And if your feet ache, you may want to slow down.
There are 52 bones in your feet held together with 100-plus muscles, tendons and ligaments. As you move, your muscles have to work harder to absorb the impact and stress on your feet. This leads to the feeling of fatigue that you may normally experience after a long day of being on your feet or after an intense physical activity. And if you are feeling drained, you may find yourself taking taking a break from moving.
