Thalgo Defi Legerete Frigimince Spray – Relief for tired legs

Tired legs affect one in four women. Certain professions – nursing, police, hairdressing – mean long lengths of time stood up or walking, and day in day out, this can take its toll on our legs and feet.

Thanks to Mamamia Australia, here are some FAQs about tired, heavy legs and what we can do about them.

1. How common are tired, heavy and aching legs in women?

Tired, heavy, aching legs is a common condition with just under one in four females experiencing this (according to Metis Healthcare’s Antistax Quantitative Market Research Study). In terms of risk factors, it is more likely to occur in women, especially as we get older. It can sometimes be hereditary and it is more likely to occur in people who are overweight and in those who sit or stand for prolonged periods during the day.

2. What other symptoms should you keep an eye out for?

In terms of symptoms which might indicate something more serious, look out for a sudden onset of leg swelling, painful swelling in one leg only, or prolonged aching, swollen legs which do not improve over time. Be particularly careful if you have other medical conditions. See your doctor for advice.

3. Why do people suffer from tired, heavy, achy legs?

The veins in the lower legs stop working as they should. So rather than helping to push blood upwards against gravity, with prolonged periods of standing or sitting, they become sluggish or inadequate. This results in blood flowing back into the veins and pooling into the tissue of the lower legs, resulting in increased fluid, causing swollen, tired, heavy, achy legs.

4. Are there any specific exercises you should do to help?

Anything you can do to increase activity helps with improving blood flow back to the heart. Brisk walking, light jogging and dancing are all great activities for leg health. A couple of specific exercises can help. One is to stand, rising onto tip toes for a few seconds, then relaxing back down, and repeating 10-12 times. Another is to sit and rotate the feet at the ankles, in both directions, several times.

And let’s face it, getting up, out and about is great for the mind too.

5. Is there anything you should avoid?

Sitting and standing for long periods are major culprits. If you sit a lot during the day, try to get up at a minimum at least once an hour and walk around. If you have a job where you stand a lot, support or compression stocking can help. If you are overweight, weight loss can help ease the pressure on your legs. High heels and unsupportive shoes can also aggravate the problem.

6. Will better posture help ease symptoms?

General good posture and avoiding sitting too long with one leg crossed over the other can help. Resting with legs raised at the end of the day can also ease symptoms.
