Summer brings longer days, outdoor activities and, unfortunately for many, uncomfortable swollen feet. High temperatures can cause our feet to swell, resulting in discomfort and difficulty performing our daily activities. At Recovery Plus, we want to explain how pressotherapy can be an effective solution to this common summer problem.
Why do feet swell in summer?
Swelling of the feet, also known as edema, can occur for a variety of reasons, especially during the summer:
- Heat: heat dilates the blood vessels, allowing fluids to leak into the surrounding tissues.
- Fluid retention: the body tends to retain more fluids during the summer, especially if adequate hydration is not maintained.
- Prolonged activity: standing or sitting for long periods can hinder circulation, leading to fluid accumulation in the feet.
- Diet: A diet high in salt can contribute to fluid retention and thus swelling.
Benefits of pressotherapy for swollen feet:
- Improved circulation: Pressure therapy stimulates the circulatory system, helping blood flow more efficiently throughout the body. This is particularly beneficial for reducing swelling in the feet, as it improves venous and lymphatic return from the lower extremities.
- Reduction of fluid retention: by improving lymphatic drainage, pressotherapy facilitates the elimination of fluids retained in the tissues. This not only reduces swelling, but also helps prevent its recurrence.
- Pain and discomfort relief: Controlled pressure applied during pressure therapy can provide significant relief from pain and discomfort associated with swelling. This allows for greater comfort and mobility throughout the day.
- Prevention of circulatory problems: Pressure therapy not only relieves current swelling, but can also help prevent long-term circulatory problems, such as varicose veins, by maintaining healthy blood flow.
