Aching Legs and Feet

Aching legs and feet can affect all of us from time to time and can be caused by a number of factors.

• Poor posture
• Tight calf muscles
• Poor circulation, venous or arterial
• Excessive swelling know as lymphoedema
• Poor fitting or unsupportive footwear

• Orthotic insoles can help reduce strain on the calf muscle by controlling excessive pronation of the feet 
• Shock absorbing or comfort insoles can reduce the discomfort caused by aching legs
• Improve the blood flow in your legs – see our facts on poor circulation for more information
• If redness, heat or pain is prolonged in the calf of the leg consult your GP or allied health professional.
