"My legs feel so heavy in the evening" "My legs feel heavy and I can't sleep at night"
Do you feel tired from standing work?

The cause is the "calf" muscles that support the flow of blood and lymph.
It may be fatigue of the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles .

◆ Why the calf is called the “second heart”

The human body is structured in such a way that blood tends to pool in the lower body due to the effects of gravity.
The calves act as a pump that returns blood to the heart.

Walking and ankle movement cause the soleus muscle to contract,
It pushes blood and lymph from the lower body back up.

However, standing for long periods of time can cause muscles to stiffen,
Pump function is reduced.
Blood and waste products accumulate, causing swelling, chills, and fatigue .

◆ The mechanism behind leg fatigue during standing work

• Fixed posture : Maintaining the same posture for a long time reduces blood circulation

• Muscle tension : stiffness in the calves, thighs, and pelvis

• Fluid stagnation : Lymphatic flow becomes difficult, and legs feel heavy

When these factors overlap, the tiredness in your legs persists until the evening.
This leads to a state of chronic fatigue where you don't feel refreshed even when you wake up in the morning.

◆ Calf care through chiropractic treatment

At the Re・Set chiropractic salon,
To fundamentally correct the heaviness in your legs caused by standing work,
We provide treatments that focus on the interconnectedness of the calves, pelvis, and ankles .

① Gently relax the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles

It relieves muscle tension and restores pumping function.
It promotes blood and lymph flow and reduces swelling.

② Pelvic and lower limb balance adjustment

By correcting the distortion of the pelvis, standing posture becomes stable,
Distributes the burden on your feet and supports a posture that reduces fatigue.

3. Improved range of motion around the ankle

Adjusts stiff ankles and increases propulsion when walking.
Prevents excessive strain on the calves.

◆ Self-care you can do at home

1. Tiptoe exercise (20 repetitions x 2 sets)
   → Stimulates the soleus muscle to increase blood flow.

2. Calf stretch with hands on wall (30 seconds)
   → Stretching the Achilles tendon relaxes the muscles.

3. Massage after bath
   → Simply rubbing from the ankle to the knee improves lymphatic flow.

The key is to make it "slightly painful."
Be careful not to press too hard as this can have the opposite effect.
