Even if you're a runner or athlete, or just going about your daily activities or doing nothing at all, you may occasionally feel the urge to strain your legs. So we all should understand the benefits of physiotherapy treatment. Physiotherapy is basically relaxing the legs through massage.

Aching legs keep us up all day. The more we walk, the more our muscles pump our blood upwards. And the longer we sit, the worse this pumping action gets. It also affects our veins and circulation in our feet and legs. Sitting reduces the amount of blood flow to our leg muscles, which can cause them to become weak and stiff.

Therefore, it should be understood that if we are standing or sitting all the time, some of our blood vessels may be damaged.
