Total Relief Footwear Doubles in Size

2005-12-26T11:49:00.000-08:00

Total Relief Footwear doubled in size to 2,500 square feet in July. The expansion into the nutrition store next door allows for much better traffic flow throughout the store. It also provides the extra space needed to bring in additional pain-relief and foot care merchandise.

"I don't know how we did it before we expanded." says owner Cam White. "When we were busy, people were stepping over each other as they tried on their Z-CoiL shoes. Now people can walk around the store and really experience the unique "feel" of the footwear.

The new, expanded space has enabled Total Relief Footwear to add a variety of new products including foot massagers, insoles, tea tree oil products, allergy relief products, shoe horns and much more.

2nd Annual .2K Run
Sunday, April 3, 2005

For the second year in a row, beautiful weather graced the Choose Austin First .2k Run. Hundreds of people attended the event, sampling free food and beverages, listening to live music and visiting with Austin-owned businesses, including Total Relief Footwear.

Poking light-hearted fun at the Austin running community, the .2k is described “As Far As You Can Run Without Spilling Your (Root) Beer.” The event was held on the grounds of Pok-e-Jo’s Smokehouse on West 5th Street in downtown Austin.

Attendees were given a race bib and encouraged to weave their way through a course of over 75 vendor booths. After getting the required number of stamps on their race bibs, they received a .2K T-Shirt acknowledging that they had finished this “grueling” race. Along the way, participants savored free food from restaurants including Maudie’s, El Arroyo, Mangia Pizza, Iguana Grill and many others. To top things off, free samples of Amy’s Ice Cream and plenty of liquid refreshments were also available.

www.walkwithoutpain.com is an Austin-based online community filled with articles, tips, forums and links to articles and papers about foot, leg and back pain.

"This website has nothing to do with Z-CoiL footwear," says Cam White, owner of Total Relief Footwear.

You can even find contact information about physicians or health professionals that may be able to diagnose and treat your condition."

New articles, papers and tips will be posted on a regular basis.

Runners and Z-CoiLs

2005-04-01T09:12:00.000-08:00

Thousands of runners experience foot, leg and back injuries every year. Running is a strenuous activity, with forces of up to 5 times your body weight being absorbed with each pounding stride.
Runners are starting to use Z-CoiL® footwear as a training and post-race recovery shoe. Dave Frank and Tish Mendick, co-owners of a Z-CoiL dealership in Omaha, Nebraska wear their Z-CoiLs before, during and after each marathon they enter. “I did a 20 mile training run a week before the Freescale marathon, said Tish Mendick. I didn’t feel like I had to work that hard to complete the run.”

Dave finished the Chicago marathon, Marine Corps marathon and the Freescale marathon in his Z-CoiLs. Tish said, “After the Chicago marathon, my girlfriends were exhausted. They couldn’t move. I went out dancing that evening!” Dave observes that his recovery time is reduced from weeks down to a few days after running a marathon in Z-CoiLs.

As a distance training shoe, Z-CoiLs are very beneficial because they allow runners to get their miles in without excessive wear and tear on the joints. “They’ve made my running effortless,” says Kathi Keyes an athlete that competes in triathlons. Kathi remarks that the footwear allows her to increase her training schedule because there is less recovery time between runs. “After running 7 – 10 miles, I usually need a few days to recover from the pounding that my knees and back take,” says Kathi. “With Z-CoiLs, I have no pain the day after a training run."

Many runners are very picky, even superstitious about their race-day footwear, and opt to race in popular running shoes. After running a 10k event, half or full marathon – the body really takes a pounding. As a post-race recovery shoe, Z-CoiLs are an excellent footwear choice for angry and inflamed joints. By reducing the shock of impact on all joints by 50 percent, Z-CoiLs dramatically speed up the recovery process.

World War II Paintings to Exhibit at Total Relief Footwear

World War II Sketches on Display at Total Relief Footwear
David Winfield Scott, "The War Years" 1942 - 1945
Friday, May 20 - Sunday, November 13 2005

In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the end of the war, Total Relief Footwear is proud to display a collection of almost 30 paintings and sketches by renowned artist David Scott. These sketches capture the artist's wartime experiences from induction and boot camp through photo intelligence and aerial reconnaissance in the European theatre of the war. An artist's reception will be held at Total Relief Footwear on Friday, May 20 at 7:00pm.

David Scott has an impressive 70 year career as a painter, teacher and museum director, including the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C

David's artwork has evolved from decade to decade drawing influences from collaborations, research and personal friendships with leading artists of the day. In his early painting career, he studied under California watercolorist Millard Sheets, and later with the Art Students League of New York under the stubbornly independent John Sloan. Throughout his career as a museum director he also drew influences from other prominent artists including Stuart Davis, Alexander Calder, Joan Miró, Milton Avery, Helen Frankenthaler and many others.
David Scott and his wife, Doris live in Austin. Now 88, the artist continues to paint in his Northwest Austin Home.

Re-Thinking Weight Loss

2004-12-28T08:07:00.000-08:00

When most of us think about weight loss, we tend to think about how many pounds we need to lose to reach our "ideal" weight. We see it in advertising all the time - " I lost 80 pounds using the Ultra Fat Blasting 30-Day Weight Loss System". The ads usually show the couch-potato person in the "Before" picture, next to the ripped, six-pack abdomen supermodel in the "After" picture. Let's face it - if we are 40, 80 or 100+ pounds overweight, losing all of those pounds seems insurmountable.

Instead, try thinking about weight loss in terms of impact reduction on your feet, ankles, knees, hips and back. Think about the physics of walking: With each step, we have to absorb 2-3 times our body weight. That means that every 5 pounds we lose equals 10-15 pounds of reduced force on your knees and other weight-bearing joints.

Make a goal to lose 5 pounds next month. Your feet, ankles, knees hips and back will thank you. Increase your activity, and watch the quantity and quality of food you take in.
Z-CoiLs reduce a tremendous amount of shock on your body - giving you the ability to be far more active without pain.

If you need a safe, simple and effective guide for weight loss, we highly recommend Fat Burning 101 - a DVD with a comprehensive guide to understanding how your body metabolizes the food you eat, simple fat-burning exercises, and many other tips for safe, effective weight loss. Available at Total Relief Footwear. Cost: $19.99, plus shipping and handling if applicable.
