My storyA new life for my feet
After 3 months and 4 sessions with Joseph, I am so much better. I had pain in my feet and legs for 15 years, a fractured heel bone 3 years ago made everything worse. After seeing Joseph I got a programme of exercises twice a day, started wearing Toesprings all day and switched to wide toe box shoes — Wyde was recommended. After 14 days I could not put my feet in any other shoes. The most incredible thing? After 10 years of pain in a damaged shoulder, that has improved too. I warmly recommend Joseph — so knowledgeable, humble and genuinely fantastic.

My storyPain-free feet — for real
Thank you Joseph. It genuinely feels like you care and you have great experience. With your support my journey towards pain-free feet has finally started for real. I am happy to recommend others to book in with you in Gothenburg.

My storyWalking out feeling great
I had very low mobility in my feet causing pain and instability. An initial check showed I was putting pressure on all the wrong places. A few exercises later my pressure spread had improved and my toes were suddenly engaged. I got a clear understanding of what caused these issues and real confidence that it can improve. Walked out of the studio in Gothenburg already recommending it to friends.

My storyHis feet can play piano
I have been working with Gourgen for over a year and he is amazing — I think his feet can play the piano! He has helped me tremendously with my foot mobility and my bunions, which are a big work in progress. He is very motivating and helpful in what can sometimes feel like a hopeless situation. I am making progress I thought would be impossible. Thank you Gourgen.

TipLet your toes splay
Toes are meant to spread. A few minutes of spacing a day helps them remember how.

FootwearWhat makes a foot-friendly shoe?
Wide toe box. Zero drop. Flexible sole. These three things give your feet the room and freedom they need to function the way they were designed to. Most modern shoes fail on all three.

FootwearThe transition mistake
Switching to barefoot shoes too fast is one of the most common mistakes we see. Your feet need time to rebuild the strength that years of conventional shoes have taken away. Start slow, build gradually.

FootwearYour shoes are shaping you
The average person takes 8,000 steps a day. Every one of those is shaped by what's on your feet. Shoes with narrow toe boxes, raised heels and rigid soles gradually change the structure of your foot — and not for the better.
