Relief for tired legs
Why do we get heavy, tired legs?
The feeling of having heavy or painful legs is caused
primarily by circulatory problems. Lack of movement and
an increase in body weight can cause blood stagnation in the
limbs. That's why sitting for a long time without any muscle
activity to act as a pump, can slow circulation in the legs.
Especially in areas like the feet and ankles.
What happens in our veins?
Veins work to return the blood to our heart. That is why they have valves which allow blood to flow upward but prevent downward flow. If these valves don't work properly, it can cause swelling and heaviness of the legs.
Avoid anything that interferes with the return blood flow like sitting for a long time, too tight clothes, a very hot bath or hot waxing. Instead, walking, swimming and cycling are recommended activities to improve blood circulation. At night, it's best to sleep with your legs slightly raised and extend them as often as possible.
Footwear with special gel inserts or Orthotics helps reduce pressure in the foot's most sensitive areas and promotes better weight distribution over the entire sole.
