June is National Men’s Health Month!

i-Newswire, 2005-06-03 - ( Albuquerque, NM ) – June has been named National Men’s Health Month, and the week before Father’s Day is National Men’s Health Week. These designations are important for raising awareness of men’s health issues, such as cancer, heart disease, and strokes. Healthy diets and exercise are two keys to overall fitness, but for some men, obesity and accompanying joint pain has hindered their exercise plans.

A revolutionary line of footwear, specially engineered to relieve foot, leg, and back pain, is changing each step for men whose pain has hindered exercise and affected their quality of life.

Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear™ features a unique conical coil steel spring under the heel, which reduces the rate of impact from walking or running by 50 percent, according to studies by Los Alamos National Laboratories and the U.S. Department of Energy. A rigid, built-in orthotic fully supports the mid-foot, equalizing pressure distribution to reduce the occurrence of heel spurs or plantar fasciitis, while extra cushioning at the forefoot and a permanent flex line at the ball of the foot improve comfort in the metatarsal area. This total foot support means less impact to the body and less pain.

Al Gallegos, a 74-year-old maverick in Albuquerque, New Mexico, persevered for years to develop this unique line of footwear that offers a radical alternative for foot, leg, and back pain relief. Z-CoiL® shoes have dramatically changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who report either complete relief or a significant reduction in pain while wearing them. Many customers are beginning to report significant weight loss because of increased mobility.

Michael Weaver, an enthusiastic Z-CoiL®-wearer writes, “I am a diabetic. I heard about your shoes from a friend and a nurse I know. My feet were in constant pain. I thought it was because I had a couple of toes amputated last year. I was only able to walk about a hundred feet without pain.”

Since finding Z-CoiL® footwear, Michael has experienced a dramatic change. “I put them on in the store. Before I left the store, all the pain in my feet had stopped. The rest of the day I walked around, and the next day, and the next, and so on. I have gotten overweight due to sitting around with sore feet. But now I am walking every day. I know I am losing weight now.”

Michael’s story is one of thousands of customer testimonials that have poured into Z-CoiL’s offices. For many people with painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, sciatica, arthritis, and degenerative disc disease, the shoes have been nothing short of a miracle.

“That first walk is all you need to make a step toward a healthier lifestyle,” says Al Gallegos. “I am thrilled that I am able to be a part of changing thousands of lives.”

A small company on a mission, Z-CoiL Footwear is gaining a tremendous and loyal following nationwide as word of its pain relief benefits is spreading, with 200 authorized dealers nationwide.
