Millions of people suffer from heavy leg syndrome, with 70% of them being women. This health issue can cause discomfort and insecurity, but at Olistik, we offer a specialized massage focused on relieving heavy legs. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible relief. To determine if you suffer from this syndrome, we invite you to continue reading, where you will find useful information about it as well as a description of our special heavy leg massage.
Some explanations about this syndrome
We often hear the term “having heavy legs,” but do we really know what it means? Symptoms, causes, and effects—we explain everything here so you can take action if you think you are affected.
What are the symptoms of heavy legs?
Venous insufficiency is responsible for the heavy legs syndrome. This poor blood circulation causes painful, sometimes swollen legs, along with tingling and numbness. All these unpleasant sensations can lead to “restlessness”, a kind of localized discomfort in the legs that triggers involuntary movements.
Heavy legs syndrome and its causes
Venous insufficiency is the main cause of heavy legs, but other factors can also be responsible:
• A prolonged sedentary position, such as sitting for hours. Blood circulation stops, creating pressure that leads to the sensation of heavy legs.
• Age, as the venous system works less efficiently and promotes blood stagnation.
• Hormonal imbalances, such as during menopause.
• High cholesterol levels, as it weakens the blood vessels.
• Heredity.
Our special heavy legs massage
Suffering from the heavy legs syndrome is not something trivial. The physical and psychological repercussions can be serious. Indeed, this syndrome can lead to an inability to walk or even cause a significant complex due to the swollen and red appearance of the legs.
To prevent this and help restore your well-being, we offer a heavy legs massage. It will relieve you and help you regain healthy legs.
After making you comfortable, the therapist will choose an essential oil to apply, preferably one with soothing properties. The therapist will then proceed with the massage, using the “palper-rouler” technique to create lymphatic drainage. By combining a subtle mix of pressure, gentle strokes, and rotations on your legs, the therapist will help restore blood circulation and reduce pain and swelling.
At the end of the session, you will feel relieved, and the sensation of heavy legs will be gone. However, additional massage sessions will be necessary for long-term improvement.
