Rocker shoes – those with chunky, curved soles – can help alleviate back pain and strengthen back muscles just by walking in them, according to a new study.
New research from the CEU Cardenal Herrera university in Valencia shows these ‘unstable shoes’ require the body to work to maintain balance and stability, and provide a low-stress workout for your lower back.
A further advantage, say scientists, is that they help deal with chronic lower back pain, which can be debilitating for those that suffer from it.
