Steps to healthy legs

Treatment options 3/3

Support / compression stockings
Support stockings provide a graduated compression that helps blood flow from the lower leg towards the heart. Compression is firmest at the ankle and gradually reduces as the distance from the ankle increases. This pressure gradient aids circulation and varicose veins and helps to prevent deep vein thrombosis and improve blood circulation.

Sports creams
These creams contain active ingredients to aid with muscle strains and help provide relief from muscular fatigue after sports without lengthy massages. They can also be used before sports in case of stiff muscles.

Cosmetic creams
These creams contain moisturizer to aid with external skin problems and help the skin retain its elasticity and reduce the signs of aging skin.

Please ask your pharmacist for further information on the best treatment for you.
