Future & Trends
The experience and achievements of the last two decades give reason to expect a great deal of euphoria for the future development of the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins and spider veins.
Over the next few years, old misconceptions, myths and beliefs will be dispelled and new ways of thinking will shape people's behavior, health and lifestyle. New trends are expected that will have a particular influence on the development of varicose veins and spider veins, and medical treatments on a conventional scale will no longer be necessary.
The treatment methods will also become more refined, even less vulnerable, and perhaps there will be laser techniques after all that will make it possible to selectively glue the defective veins without any particular invasiveness - but probably in a completely different way than before!
Development is in full swing!
Walk like on clouds
Karl Müller, the inventor of MBT® shoes and visionary thinker, has been working for years on the question of how we humans can move better again in order to prevent spinal disorders and leg vein diseases.
Years ago, he walked barefoot through the rice fields of South Korea and realized that his legs and spine moved differently on soft ground than on hard surfaces. His foot, leg and torso muscles worked differently than in sturdy shoes. After walking for a longer period of time, he initially felt more tired, but after a while he also felt more stable, confident and fit.
Walking on a soft surface trains the reflexes of our upright gait. The foot and calf muscles work much harder and actively pump blood back to the heart. Walking barefoot like on clouds increases blood circulation and strengthens the spine.
kybun AG Switzerland may be producing tomorrow's shoes today, creating the learning surface for fidgety children at school and the office treadmill of the future for the business world. More walking instead of sitting, working while standing, walking on soft surfaces and daily training of postural reflexes will give people fewer venous disorders and fewer spinal complaints.
The office of the future was predicted by the Harvard Business School - kybun is already working on upright workstations in the office of the future. See here (Study: How we will learn in the future).
Compression clothing
Compression stockings were deeply rejected for decades: people thought they were thick, warm, ugly, disgusting...
But gentle wrapping, comfortable hugging, even firm compression immediately after knee or thigh injuries has always been welcome for people. In fact, we love compression - in the right measure! We love to be squeezed gently.
New technologies in the manufacture of compressive clothing, especially hosiery and pants, create a new feeling of energy, strength, well-being, drive and endurance. The material is soft and fluffy against the skin, the design is bold, fashionable or elegant, and the colors are as varied as nature itself. Compression garments are worn in everyday life, at work, in sport and even medical stockings will leave very few wishes unfulfilled.
The well-known German fashion designer Wolfgang Joop presents the mJ-1 fashion line with compression stockings from medi ultimate compression technology for the first time in 2010 and refers to a new sensory experience. Let's see what the future actually brings, after all, Wolfgang Joop once said: "Style is what stays, even when fashion goes!"
In the meantime, the high-tech hosiery is being further developed and the discerning customer receives the next generation as the ITEM m6 brand with energetic wearing comfort, color fastness, climate factor, innovative seam processing and guaranteed durability of 180 days in the fashion business - the start of the age of health 3.0.
Barefoot walking & softshoes
In the past, the shoe industry praised sturdy footwear, tomorrow we will be wearing soft, supple, sensitive shoes!
Walking barefoot is healthy! Barefoot on uneven surfaces, barefoot at home, barefoot in the garden and almost barefoot off-road ...
Standing barefoot and moving on soft floors promotes the training of positional reflexes (= maintaining balance through the coordination of the cerebellum and muscles of the musculoskeletal system) into old age. Daily muscle training promotes blood circulation, improves the function of the central and peripheral nervous system, boosts metabolic activity and delays ageing.
Well-tempered floors at home and at work allow you to walk and stand barefoot. Working while standing is healthier than sitting because the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system are better maintained.
The invention of Five Fingers® by the South Tyrolean Robert Fliri opened up the market for soft shoes with thin yet resistant high-performance soles. They allow you to walk and run on uneven ground and off-road and protect your feet from injury. The "foot shoe" (cf. finger cots and gloves) forces the feet, legs and spine to walk more actively and trains positional reflexes and movement coordination.
Healthy heating & cooling
"Underfloor heating is bad - but warm feet are good!"
People have had to live with this contradictory creed for the last 20 years, even though Mother Nature has always given us underfloor heating.
Nevertheless, keen thinkers and visionary designers have never lost touch with nature and have propagated warming floor and wall surfaces as the most comfortable and gentle form of heating living spaces in the temperate latitudes of our hemisphere - in absolute conformity with the scientific findings of biology.
The Austrian flagship company Harreither even offers floor and wall heating together with wall and ceiling cooling: gentle heating in winter and gentle cooling in summer. At constant temperatures, you can enjoy the feeling of cozy warmth or refreshing coolness - depending on the season.
Large heating/cooling surfaces generate almost no air currents and are therefore healthier than small ones, making both radiators and air conditioning units a thing of the past.
Skin & leg care
Beautiful legs need care. Healthy ones too.
We will pay more attention to the legs. Well-groomed feet look like well-groomed hands. The cosmetics industry offers everything your heart desires - you just have to do it yourself.
Nail fungus and athlete's foot are often the result of a lack of resistance. Varicose veins and nail fungus are often associated with each other, but only very few people are aware of this connection. Skin eczema is not only the result of dry skin, but also of venous insufficiency (defective venous valves in varicose veins).
Walking in soft shoes and barefoot prevents the development of foot and leg misalignments.
Lymphatic drainage and massages promote blood circulation and optimize lymph flow, keeping feet and legs slim.
Vein awareness
Health is a task!
In the past, health issues were usually only addressed once illness had set in. In the future, great attention will be paid to health in the sense of increasing holistic, general, all-encompassing fitness of body and mind.
Devote a few thoughts a day to the health of your legs and feet. Varicose veins and spider veins can now be treated quickly, easily and with little pain, but you can also actively intervene: Get your legs in order first and at the same time start putting into practice what you have learned from our discussions. Make use of all the information on this website and remind yourself daily of the many ways you can influence your success.
Your success is our success!
