Why this feeling of tiredness?
How is this phenomenon explained?
What preventive measures can be taken to ease this feeling of discomfort?
• Sleep with your legs raised by 10 to 15 cm.
• To decompress the venous circulation, lie on your left side with a cushion wedged between your knees.
• Finish your shower with a cooler spray of water on your legs, moving up from the ankle to the knee.
• Avoid crossing your legs and keep away from sources of heat.
• Walk for half an hour every day, wearing suitable shoes.
• Avoid anything that could hinder circulation, such as socks or trousers that are too tight.
• Apply Instant Comfort Legs skin care from Mustela 9 Months, gently massaging from the ankle to the knee.
After giving birth:
• Activate the blood circulation by rotating the foot at the ankle and flexing and extending the foot.
• Bend your toes. Stimulate the arch of the foot by massaging it on the bar of the bed.
• Don’t worry: problems with heavy legs disappear a few weeks after giving birth!
