Explained broadly, peripheral neuropathy is a disorder that occurs when our periphery nerves become damaged. It can show up in our bodies as weakness, numbness, and/or pins-and-needles sensations, usually in the hands and feet. A common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes, but it can also result from injuries, infections, and exposure to toxins.
Many people suffering from peripheral neuropathy are turning to the alternative healing techniques of reflexology and massage to ease their symptoms. Regular foot massage improves circulation, stimulates muscles, reduces tension, and can ease pain. Reflexology stimulates nerve endings corresponding to organs and muscles throughout the body and helps nourish our damaged nerves.

Kenkoh massage footwear is specifically designed around ancient techniques of reflexology and massage. In fact, when these two modalities saved the life of Kenkoh’s Japanese inventor, he set out to design a healthy sandal capable of providing similar benefits. By constantly stimulating the nerve cells of the feet, today’s Kenkohs offer an affordable and totally natural alternative / supplement to commonly prescribed neuropathy treatments such as TENS stimulation and plasma exchange.
