DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to footwear and insoles designed to promote health by stimulating a specific part of the sole.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, stimulating the sole of a foot is said to be effective for promoting health, and various health appliances have been used for that purpose. Typical examples are footwear such as foot bamboo and foot mats provided with protrusions, and footwear such as sandals and slippers provided with protrusions and insoles. In particular, footwear is used for a long period of time on a daily basis, and various types of footwear are used under the name of health sandals (slippers) and health shoe insoles.

[0003] For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-24833 discloses a health sandal (slipper) in which a plurality of protrusions are provided on the upper surface of a footwear stand, and an elastic sheet is bonded to the upper surface excluding the protrusions. . In addition, 3-21240
In the publication, a plurality of protrusions are provided upright on a sheet made of a soft material, and the protrusions of the protrusion plate are directed upward, and fitted into the through holes provided in the top plate. A health sandal is disclosed in which a top plate and a main body are bonded and fixed to each other. According to such a health sandal, the stimulation by the protrusion improves blood circulation, and also exerts the acupressure effect by pressing the acupoint of the sole. At this time, the elastic sheet or the top plate serves as a cushion, and does not impair comfort.

[0004] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-45003 discloses that
A shoe insole in which resin beads are fused and a deodorant and a bactericide are supported on the surface is disclosed. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-163403 discloses a hollow frame body projecting from the surface of a last plate, A myriad of solid protruding bases shorter than the hollow frame body are integrally molded on the surface excluding the body, and countless small holes are drilled in the hollow body and portions excluding the solid protruding group, and the hollow frame body has a magnetic field. A bottom of footwear set on an upper surface of a bottom plate of shoes, sandals, slippers, baseball socks and the like is disclosed, in which an object is embedded and a back sheet is fixed to a back surface via a buffer sheet. According to such a shoe insole, the stimulation by the protrusion improves blood circulation, presses acupoints on the sole to exert an acupressure effect, and improves breathability.

[0005]

By the way, conventional footwear for promoting health, including the footwear described in the above-mentioned publication, is provided with a projection on the entire surface of a sole plate or an insole or on a portion corresponding to an arch or acupoint on a sole. Providing things is a basic requirement. The stimulation by these protrusions improves blood circulation and has the effect of promoting health.However, conventional shoes for promoting health are promoting blood circulation of the sole of the foot in general, and when the protrusions press the acupoints. It is an expectation of the effect of acupressure, a so-called common effect for everyone.

[0006] However, those who use footwear differ in their physical condition, including physique, as well as their physique, so that not only general health promotion but also alleviation of diseases and dysfunctions specific to the person, There is a strong demand to improve the condition. However, it is difficult at present to fulfill such personal health needs with general-purpose health promotion footwear.

[0007] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide health promotion footwear capable of alleviating symptoms in response to a disease or dysfunction of a person using the footwear.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventor studied a therapy called "applied kinesiology" which is a higher technique in chiropractic, and adjusted the muscle based on the results of a muscle test. By applying, we succeeded in obtaining health promotion footwear that can alleviate symptoms according to specific diseases and dysfunctions. Here, footwear referred to in this specification refers to a general term for footwear, including shoes (including boots and athletic shoes), sandals, slippers,
When the description includes soles such as sandals and insoles attached to shoes and used, and refers to sole insoles, it is referred to as insoles.

[0009] That is, the footwear of the present invention is characterized in that it has a structure in which a specific part of the sole corresponding to a specific disease or dysfunction is stimulated by pressing when the footwear is worn.

[0010] Here, the specific disease referred to in the specification of the present application is a disease occurring in the body, excluding malignant tumor, cerebral hemorrhage, mental disorder, nerve rupture, trauma, congenital disability, internal organs,
Refers to diseases related to neurolymph, blood, hormone secretion, muscles, joints, and ligaments.Specific examples include shoulder stiffness, migraine, neck pain, elbow pain, temporomandibular disorders, lower back pain, back muscle pain, and knee pain. Plantar pain, O-leg, hallux valgus, hay fever, menopause, hypertension, Meniere's syndrome, cerebral infarction and the like.

[0011] The specific dysfunction referred to in the specification of the present application refers to visceral organs, neurolymph, blood, muscles, and dysfunctions caused by malignant tumors, cerebral hemorrhage, mental disorders, nerve ruptures, trauma, and congenital physical disorders. Refers to dysfunctions caused by joints and ligaments.
Examples include elevation failure, extension failure, flexion failure, parallel sensory disturbance, difficulty walking, respiratory failure, respiratory distress, malocclusion, and the like.

[0012] Such a disease or dysfunction can be judged by the subject himself or herself when there are obvious subjective symptoms, but when there are no or few subjective symptoms, the subject himself / herself can judge. Is difficult. Even in such a case, a person who has the knowledge and experience of the above-mentioned "treatment using muscle" can determine the site of the disease or dysfunction or the degree of the symptom by the muscle strength test. The muscular strength test, for example, in the case of visceral disease, changes in muscular strength of a specific muscle (corresponding muscle) when any stress or disease occurs in a specific internal organ. Therefore, by examining the muscle strength of each part of the body, it is possible to know the presence and degree of a specific visceral disease.

It is also known that if there is an abnormality somewhere in the body, a reaction appears at a certain portion (reflection point) of the sole corresponding to the abnormality. The reflection points on the sole of the foot are not bilaterally symmetric, and there are reflection points corresponding to each part of the body on the right sole and the left sole. The reactions that appear on the soles are tenderness and lumps,
It is said that the symptoms of a corresponding body part disappear by stimulating a reflex point, and at the same time, these reactions disappear.

The present invention is based on the results of the above-mentioned muscle strength test and sole reaction test, and stimulates the foot due to pressure when wearing footwear to a sole part corresponding to a specific disease or dysfunction. It is a structure to give.

In order to apply a stimulus to a specific portion of the sole by pressing, a partial convex portion is formed on the front surface or the back surface of the bottom surface or the insole of the footwear which corresponds to the sole, or an auxiliary pad is attached. By doing so, a stimulus can be given. In addition, by forming a partial convex part on the front surface or the back surface, or by attaching an auxiliary pad to increase the thickness of a specific part of the insole to normal shoes, the shoes improve the health of the shoes. Can be changed to footwear. In this way, by applying a stimulus by pressing to a specific part of the sole when the footwear is worn, a specific disease or dysfunction corresponding to this part is alleviated.

Here, when the footwear is actually worn, the portion forming the convex portion and the auxiliary pad are made of a material having elasticity, for example, a foamed synthetic resin or the like, so that the stimulation caused by the pressing is not too strong. It is desirable to form using, and its thickness is desirable to be about 2-3 mm. However, for some diseases and dysfunctions, the thickness can be further increased partially.
