What if acupressure could relieve our legs?

Our legs carry and support us every day. They get us up in the morning and put us to bed at night, and we use them for every movement throughout the day or during sports activities. Therefore, it is important to take care of them and keep them healthy for as long as possible! However, this is not always within our control.

Heavy legs, Restless Leg Syndrome, muscle aches, and sports injuries: why not try acupressure to relieve your legs?

Benefits of Acupressure on Legs

Boosting Blood Circulation for Heavy Legs

Tingling, numbness, and prickling sensations in your legs? You are likely one of the 18 to 22 million French people suffering from heavy legs. In more advanced cases, burning sensations, swelling, and pain can also occur.

If you suffer from venous insufficiency, an acupressure mat will apply pressure on your legs, thereby promoting blood flow back up towards the upper body. At the same time, it will help stimulate the lymphatic system.

Specifically designed for feet, the acupressure reflexology cushion will also help boost blood circulation in the legs. Additionally, it provides the benefits of foot reflexology.
These mechanisms help relieve the sensation of heavy legs and the associated pain!

Moreover, poor blood circulation in the legs can lead to water retention, which can cause certain types of cellulite. Improving blood circulation thus also addresses these issues.

How to Massage Heavy Legs

Massaging heavy legs is a well-known solution to relieve pain and boost blood circulation.

Poor lymphatic circulation related to hormones, prolonged standing, or the habit of crossing your legs: lymphatic drainage is recommended for circulatory problems or water retention. Make sure to choose a qualified professional if you want to try this massage technique (certified physiotherapist or esthetician).

You can also massage your legs yourself by following these tips. Before going to bed, massage each leg, always moving from the ankles to the knees. For heavy legs, it’s essential to massage from the bottom up to promote venous return. Try the “kneading” technique: take your skin between your thumb and index finger and gently roll it as if you were rolling a cigarette. If you’re not comfortable with this technique, simple pressure along your leg with your palms will also be effective. You can enhance this manual massage with a special heavy legs cream for added benefits.

If you’re worried about not having the right techniques, acupressure is a solution worth trying: just lay your legs on the acupressure mat and let it work for you. Enjoy this time for yourself to watch your favorite show, read a book, or simply do nothing but relax!

Calming Restless Leg Syndrome

Acupressure cushions and mats help the body release a large amount of endorphins and oxytocin. These natural hormones, known as the “feel-good hormones,” have an immediate analgesic (pain-relieving) effect.

At the same time, acupressure reduces cortisol levels, the stress hormone. During your acupressure session, you’ll feel the pain diminish, leading to a sense of well-being and deep relaxation.

There is also the acupressure reflexology cushion, which allows you to simulate walking, a recommended practice for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). Walking without leaving your couch is now possible with this perfectly springy cushion, which helps to relieve restlessness.

Recovering well after exercise

The acupressure mat is beneficial for recovery. The improved blood circulation will indeed help deliver the necessary nutrients to the muscles and tissues and promote the elimination of toxins.

Your last workout session was intense, and now you’re full of soreness? We know you’re walking like a duck… Or perhaps you’ve experienced a muscle injury? It happens even to the best…

It’s possible that you’re compensating for this pain by adopting poor postures. These poor postures can themselves lead to muscle tensions in the rest of your body. The acupressure cushions and mats will have the effect of releasing these tensions. In contact with the plastic spikes covering them, your body will indeed have to relax completely to adapt to them.

Practicing Acupressure…

Acupressure cushions and mats are well-known for being highly beneficial for back pain.
But how can you best target their benefits for your legs?

Using Acupressure Mats to Relieve Leg Discomfort Without Moving

While lying down or sitting, place the acupressure mat under your legs and slide a support underneath, at knee level, to elevate it. This will better accommodate the length of your legs, allowing you to fully benefit from the effect of the 6930 spikes covering it. If you want to focus your session on the upper or lower legs, simply place the mat widthwise at the desired height!

You can adopt these positions directly on the floor or on your bed or couch, depending on your preference. Setting up on a softer surface will be more comfortable without diminishing the effectiveness of your session.

If you suffer from Willis-Ekbom disease, or Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), the acupressure mat will help relax the nervous system and alleviate your restlessness.

The Acupressure Cushion for Targeting Calves

We commonly talk about the sensation of “heavy legs,” but in reality, this sensation is mostly concentrated in the calves! Remember Josiane Balasko stuck all day in her ski boots? That’s kind of the idea!

Swelling related to heavy legs is often more visible in the calves and can be more “debilitating”: calves compressed in jeans, difficulty putting on boots…

In this case, the acupressure cushion is ideal! Simply place it under your calves, whether sitting or lying down, and it will have an immediate effect on this more specific area of the body. We recommend using spelt filling, which is firmer, for this purpose. However, millet filling, which is softer, will be just as effective. It’s all about personal preference!

The acupressure reflexology cushion to relieve legs by simulating walking

The acupressure reflexology cushion will be your ally in mimicking walking. In the case of Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), we know that walking is a way to relieve restlessness. In the case of heavy legs, it is a way to boost blood flow towards the upper body.

The acupressure reflexology cushion will therefore serve as an alternative to walking in both cases! You can enjoy its benefits while staying at home: while sitting, place the cushion under your feet and take advantage of the bounce it provides to simulate walking. The spikes covering it, sharper than those of acupressure cushions and mats, will work to stimulate your blood circulation more deeply.

Acupressure cushion and mat or acupressure reflexology cushion: which solution is best for you?

Each of the acupressure cushions or mats can be beneficial if you suffer from heavy legs or restlessness. So, how do you choose?

Acupressure cushions and mats will provide you with a true relaxation session. In a lying or semi-lying position, you just need to settle in and enjoy all the benefits they offer without exerting any effort.

Acupressure reflexology cushion, on the other hand, requires mimicking walking movements to optimize its effectiveness. You can enjoy the benefits of this session while watching TV or reading your favorite book.

Is your workplace overheated, and does your profession not allow you to walk regularly to stretch your legs? Then you can use the acupressure reflexology cushion while working at your desk, at any time of the day, to relieve your heavy legs.
