Prolonged sitting or standing at work? Are you aware of the risks?
Individuals working in a profession that requires prolonged standing or sitting may have experienced the feeling of pain, swelling and heaviness in the legs by the end of the working day. This is not surprising when you consider that one in six men and one in five women suffer from some kind of venous disorder.Serious forms of venous disease can include varicose veins and skin disorders such as discolouration, eczema, hardening of the skin and venous ulcers.
