Vibro

Acupressure

Acupuncture point stimulation via vibration or mechanical stimulation is a modern variation of traditional Chinese medicine.

Instead of manually manipulating acupuncture needles, TWALK’S patented technology applies mechanical vibrations to acupressure points.

The points can then be stimulated with customized vibration intensity levels. Illustrations reflect the anatomical locations on the foot and in the shoe.

WIDESPREAD IMPACT

Foot pain isn’t just a local issue—it can have profound effects on the entire body. Given that the feet support the body’s weight and facilitate movement, persistent discomfort can lead to a cascade of systemic problems.
A staggering 81% of American adults admit to experiencing foot pain at some point in their lives, shedding light on the pervasive nature of this often-overlooked issue.
In 2023, 14.9 million adults had serious mental illness (SMI) — conditions that severely impair daily function. Suicide is the 4th leading cause of death among people aged 15–29.
Depression and anxiety disorders cost the global economy $1 trillion/year in lost productivity. Mental health-related absenteeism costs U.S. employers $17–44 billion annually.
The 2024 results of the American Psychiatric Association’s annual mental health poll show that U.S. adults are feeling increasingly anxious. In 2024, 43% of adults say they feel more anxious than they did the previous year, up from 37% in 2023 and 32% in 2022.
