How it works
Prolonged static standing increases venous pressure in leg veins by up to 90mmHg. Regular movement activates the calf pump and prevents blood pooling.
Occupational changes may be needed for those who stand for work. Compression stockings are especially important for people who cannot avoid prolonged standing.
Strong epidemiological evidence links prolonged occupational standing to varicose vein development and worsening. Movement breaks are universally recommended.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
