Working Feet

Lifestyles today put a huge demand on our legs and feet particularly on those who spend most of the day on their feet. Tired, aching legs and feet are a common complaint that can be easily relieved by relaxing in the bath or resting with your feet up. But other underlying problems, like poor circulation may not be so easy to cure.

Symptoms

The main signs of circulation disorders are:

• Heaviness in the legs
• Itchy Skin
• Delay in cuts or abrasions healing
• Skin discolouration
• Swollen ankles

Any concerns should be dealt with by a qualified healthcare professional.

Causes

Everybody experiences tired, aching legs and feet at some time in their lives, but if it happens on a regular basis, it may be caused by standing or sitting in one position for too long. The condition is most common in people who work in jobs where they are unable to exercise the calf muscles regularly. Age, pregnancy, hereditary predisposition can also increase the chances of experiencing tired, aching limbs or external conditions like surgery.
