Brand Info

Kenkoh were originally created in 1965 and started out as wooden massage sandals that had been developed as an aid to improve the health of individuals using the principals of reflexology.

Technology Explained

Reflexology is a type of massage that has been used for thousands of years to relieve tension, treat health problems and maintain wellbeing through the pressure points in the feet. Reflexologists believe that the body becomes imbalanced when it is stressed or fighting an illness and consequently struggles to get rid of any build up of stress and tension.

The reflex points on the soles of the feet each have an effect on a different part of the body. The rubber nodules of Kenkoh sandals stimulate these pressure points in a similar way to how they would be stimulated during a reflexology treatment and help to improve the body’s natural balance. The varying sizes of the nodules work every pressure point, as you walk or stand each reflex point is massaged at the same time to induce a healing response.

In Japan it is said that the sole of the foot is your second heart as roughly two thirds of the leg muscles work together to pump blood back to the heart. By properly stimulating the veins in the sole of the feet Kenkoh Sandals can promote blood flow and support the function of the heart.

Aside from improving the circulation, when various reflex points are stimulated at the same time through wearing Kenkoh Sandals it can generate a healing response. Tenderness or sensitivity may be a sign of an imbalance or congestion but repeated wear of Kenkoh massage sandals can clear the blocked energy to reduce tension and improve health.

Although the Kenkoh Sandal does not replace a session with a fully qualified reflexologist, as the treatment would be focused on any health problems or sensitivity, instead they allow you to treat the body as a whole on a daily basis. 

Wear Recommendations

It is recommended that you only wear Kenkoh sandals for short bursts until you have become accustomed to them (approximately 10 minutes a day). 

You may feel discomfort when you first begin wearing Kenkoh Sandals as this can occur if there is congestion or an imbalance in your reflex points. The tenderness will ease as the congestion is cleared but if you have sensitive feet then it may help to wear socks with Kenkoh Sandals to reduce this discomfort. 

Everyone is different so you should increase the wear time at your own pace. It normally takes most people between three days and three weeks to adjust to the Kenkoh Sandals. After people get used to Kenkoh Sandals they find they can wear them all day, every day and they don’t want to take them off!
