Welcome to Ergilo's knowledge blog
This blog is for you. For those of you who sometimes limp home after work, who have difficulty sleeping due to pain in your feet or back, or who just want to understand your body a little better. At Ergilo, we believe that everyone deserves a more comfortable everyday life, regardless of age or life situation. This is our place to share tips, knowledge and products that actually make a difference in everyday life.
We who founded Ergilo
The people behind Ergilo are Sara and Patrik. We have different experiences but a common goal: to make everyday life more comfortable for more people.
Sara has lived with chronic back problems almost her entire life. It started when she was twelve years old with a herniated disc, and since then the problems have come and gone. In her thirties she was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, something that usually affects much older people. She has gone through periods of sciatica, hospitalizations and strong painkillers. There was never any surgery because the doctor's advice was that new herniated discs would occur anyway. During the year she also suffered from two large blood clots, one in each lung, which led to swelling and even greater challenges in everyday life. All of this has given her a deep understanding of how important the right support is in everyday life.
Patrik, on the other hand, has had major problems with his feet his whole life. Heel spurs, short calf tendons and pain under the feet when walking have been a constant companion. Finding shoes and inserts that work has not been easy. But it has given him a strong commitment to what actually helps in practice.
We know what it feels like to struggle with your body in everyday life. That's why we started Ergilo to offer products that are simple, functional, make a real difference and are reasonably priced.
Together with our Ergilo team
Today, we are not alone in running Ergilo. Around us is now a committed Ergilo team that shares our vision and works every day to enable more people to live a life with less pain, better support and greater freedom of movement. We are grateful to work with people who truly care, just as we do. Even though we have grown as a company, the core is the same: we want to help make a difference in people's everyday lives.
What you'll find here
In the blog we share everything from facts about foot problems to guides on how to choose the right shoes, inserts or aids. We write about things we have experienced ourselves, but also things our customers often ask about. You will find tips on how to relieve pain, improve your posture or just make everyday life a little more comfortable.
It is not a medical encyclopedia. It is a collection of experiences, knowledge and ideas that we hope can make a difference in your life.
