Here are the key secrets that make BW shoes unique in health and wellness…
A. Reflexology Principle behind Breath Walker shoes
The Reflexology method, introduced in 1913 by Dr. William H FitzGerald is actually a kind of nerve reflex phenomenon. In his book “Reflexology for Good Health” Dr. FitzGerald pointed out, there are some invisible vertical lines in the human body, while there are some horizontal lines on the sole. These lines can transmit stimulation. By pressing the intersection point of the vertical and horizontal lines on the sole, the chain reaction of the corresponding viscera and organs can be triggered to regulate the state of the human body. As soon as the foot reflexology healing method was proposed, it caused a craze in the United States. In 1925, the U.S. government published a book on foot reflexology health, affirming the positive significance of the stimulation.
After more than one hundred years of research these methods are used for example a doctor will tap the patellar ligament with a reflex hammer, this causes the quadriceps muscle to stretch, that in turn triggers the reflex response to pull the muscle back and this causes the leg to kick forward. This a kind of healthcare method by stimulating specific parts, activates the ability of human body to self-adjust.
In 1970, Mr. Wu Ruoshi, a Swiss missionary, came to Taiwan, China, and inadvertently came into contact with the foot reflexology method from his German friends. Thus, he started his career of promoting the foot reflexology method in China and all over the world, which indirectly promoted the development of the foot massage industry in China. Today, many foot massage shops are using the foot reflexology health method. In 1991, when the Chinese Society of Foot Reflexology Health was established, the Ministry of Health confirmed the significance of the foot reflexology Health Method by using words such as “simple and easy” and “no side effects”.
Breath walker massage shoes have more than 300 raised massage points, more than 20 key reflexology massage combinations, each massage point is carefully designed, and strictly positioned. The massage intensity is reasonable, letting the user achieve all benefits in a simple walk, massaging the multiple reflexology areas and acupoints, walking toward a healthier life.
B. Meridian Principle of Chinese Medicine
Meridians are the channels for movement of qi and blood in the human body. Compared with the reflexology health method, the principle of meridians in TCM was born much earlier. In the TCM classic handbook “Huangdi Neijing” more than 2000 years ago, the meridian principle and the significance of meridians were already explained!
The ancient Chinese believed that six of the twelve meridians in human body began and ended in the foot. The sole of the foot concentrated several meridians, which was the place where blood and qi gathered. Stimulating the sole of the foot could dredge the meridians and regulate the deficiency and fullness of the organs. TCM meridian principle is the basis of our massage shoes and is also the core of TCM theory.
According to TCM, the Qi flow is responsible for keeping the body in balance. Treatment of disease is aimed at refilling depleted yin or yang qi. This balance can be reestablished through Chinese reflexology. In theory the feet contain the master control points for harmonizing the flow of energy throughout your body’s meridians. When there is balance there is harmony in all bodily functions. If there is stagnation or blockage there will be discomfort in the body. Looking at the Reflexology diagram you can locate the corresponding reflex area and find out which part of the body may have disharmony.
The use of massage is based on the meridian theory of TCM so to adjust the state of the human body according to the foot technique has been popular for a long time in China. In ancient times, there is a legend physician called Yu Tarsi, the massage of foot can adjust the state of human body! At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo also mentioned the “Way of Foot Heart” in his book, explaining the relationship between foot and human health. More recently, the Tang Dynasty miracle physician Sun Simiao and the Song Dynasty writer Su Dong-po both benefited from foot massage and actively praised the benefits of foot massage.
Breath walker massage shoes set up more than 300 massage points on the insole, with more than 20 key reflexology massage combinations, massage the plantar reflexology area, massage the plantar meridians and acupoints. Each step with the shoes would massage more than 300 points. TCM meridian principle with the western foot reflexology principle, the two homologies complement each other, together contribute to the contemporary people’s plantus and body overall health!
C. Principles of Foot Biomechanics
Feet are the foundation of the human body. If the feet are unstable and unbalanced, it is easy to affect the balance and stability of the whole body’s bones and muscles. For example, arch collapse will cause internal/external svelled legs, X/O shaped legs, ankle position deviation, and affect the position of the pelvis, resulting in spinal curvature, high and low shoulders and a series of physical problems, and eventually cause pain in the body.
Modern people wear shoes almost every day, the health and stability of the foot are related to the shoes we wear to a large extent. A pair of shoes in line with the biomechanics of the foot, can give foot stability and support, so that the whole body is more stable, on the contrary it may cause adverse effects on our feet and the whole body if the shoes do not fit properly.
BW massage shoes, through the three designs following foot biomechanics, firmly support the feet, and balance the force in foot.
- Arch support and heel stabilization: BW massage shoes follow the design principle of foot biomechanics. The curvature of the insole fits the arch curvature of the foot. The corresponding part of the heel adopts U-shaped invaginate design.
- Toe broadening: Following the design concept of foot biomechanics, Breath walker has widened the toe of most types of shoes, making it comfortable to wear without squeezing the feet, so that the toes can get better space for growth and activity.
- Heel reinforcement: Most shoes by BW are reinforced in the heel part of the design, which can better wrap the stability of the foot, reduce the chance of heel bone skew.
D. Principle of Magnet Therapy
BW massage shoes use modern technology to put the magnet in the insole, which can assist and strengthen the massage function, and make the shoes healthier. 
The meridians have good magnetic effect, as the magnet can adjust the metabolic function of the body through the meridians (Note: see “the Research Status of magnetic therapy”, Medical Review, Vol. 14, No. 18, September 2008.)
The insoles by BW contain magnets placed in specific locations to stimulate specific reflex zones. The shoes/insoles are certified as category 1, 2, and 3 medical devices prescribed in China for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and flat feet. Magnetic therapy has been used in the treatment of a wide variety of chronic pain syndromes.
E. Anti-bacterial Deodorant Technology
BW Shoes use an antibacterial and deodorizing material in the insoles, these materials have been tested and certified by Swiss SGS; According to the official report, the antibacterial rate is more than 99%, which can inhibit the breeding of bacteria and keep the shoes dry and odor-free.
BW professional massage shoes have a full line of innovative products with 33 international and domestic patents certified in 134 countries.
