may see less sick days from aches and pains, and increased
productivity and employee job satisfaction.

According to a recent study
published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association*, employers lose more than $60 billion each
year due to missed time at work - time lost because
workers are in pain. Workers in pain, the study
claims, are prone to lose concentration, repeat a job,
work more slowly than usual, feel fatigued, at work, or
even do nothing while at work.
* "Loss of Productive Time Due
to Pain,"
Stewart, et al, JAMA, 20024: 290:2443-2454
*Test conducted by Los Alamos
and Sandia National
 Laboratories
concluded that Z-Coil®
footwear reduces the
rate of impact to the body by 50
percent or more, compared with a popular name-brand
cushioned running shoe. Energy return is estimated at
40-50 percent. |
