How to Soothe Your Legs After Stress or Long Walk

Are your legs stiff or sore? Here are some steps to help you soothe your legs after a stressful day or a long walk.

Tips
Always put your feet up when you are watching television or similar. This will increase circulation in your legs and minimize the risk of blood clots and varicose veins.
If you often go on long walks or your job keeps you on your feet, invest in a good pair of shoes to take the strain off your joints and back. Flimsy, high-heeled sandals look good, but will give you blisters and cramped muscles.

Warnings
Do not immerse your legs longer than 10-15 minutes or your circulation may slow down too much, making you drowsy.
People with heart conditions should take care not to immerse their extremities quickly in very warm or very cold water as this can lead to fainting or worse. Gradually dip your legs in the water.
