Improving circulation

Tired, heavy legs? Find out how to improve your circulation and feel lighter

As an expert masseuse in Valencia, I know how frustrating it can be to deal with tired, heavy legs. Poor circulation is a common problem that affects many people, but fortunately, there are effective solutions to improve your wellbeing.

Why does poor circulation in the legs occur?

Poor circulation in the legs can be caused by a number of factors, including:

• Sedentary lifestyle: Spending a long time sitting or standing without moving.
• Overweight: Excess weight puts pressure on the veins.
• Varicose veins: Dilated and tortuous veins that hinder venous return.
• Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and weight gain can affect circulation.
• Wearing tight-fitting clothing: Tight-fitting clothes can compress the legs and hamper circulation.

Consequences of poor circulation:

Poor circulation in the legs can cause:

• Tiredness and heaviness in the legs
• Swelling of the ankles and feet

• Varicose veins
• Venous ulcers
