Swelling in the legs can be caused by various factors, such as poor circulation, prolonged standing, excess weight, fluid retention, etc.

Having your legs crossed for a long time, sitting for a long time or standing for a long time is not good for venous health as the blood doesn't circulate properly when you're in the same position for a long time. It is advisable to wear suitable footwear, such as flat cushioned shoes, and to avoid high heels.

Mossi will give you some tips on how you can advise your client to prevent swollen legs.

When it's appropriate to elevate the legs, it helps to improve blood circulation and the drainage of body fluids, less swelling and fluid retention. It also helps with other things such as digestion, sleep and relaxing the nervous system.

During break times, try to encourage your client to get up, stretch her legs and walk around a bit. If possible, encourage her to exercise regularly to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling. For example, you could go for a walk, swim, cycle - activities like these can be beneficial for improving health. If your client's work requires her to stand for a long time, advise her to take breaks to sit down and rest her legs.

Being overweight can increase pressure in the veins, contributing to swelling. Maintaining a healthy weight also has to do with a good diet, excess salt in food also causes fluid retention. If you combine this with our previous suggestions, your client will certainly feel great relief in her legs.

Another benefit is to have massages regularly, and they should be stimulating. Massages can be both relaxing and stimulating. To make your legs feel lighter and less swollen, we recommend a lymphatic drainage massage.

Lymphatic drainage eliminates excess fluid that causes swelling in the legs and ankles, releases toxins and helps reduce cellulite. It is a technique made up of gentle, slow, monotonous and rhythmic manoeuvres performed with the hands, which must follow the path of the superficial lymphatic system. Its aim is to reduce oedema and lymphoedema (which arises in post-traumatic and post-operative situations, venous and lymphatic circulatory disorders of various kinds, among others) and to prevent or improve some of its consequences.

Have you ever heard of a device with so many outputs? With infrared light? And with thermal action?

The more outlets on a pressure therapy device, the more lymphatic points it acts on, further benefiting the results of lymphatic drainage treatments. This combination provides results in cellulite, reduction and fluid retention treatments.

After a massage or the use of pressotherapy equipment, you should apply Mossi Epil's relief gel for strained and tired legs, as the results will be more noticeable.
