Why do beauticians get aching legs and suffer from flat floor syndrome?
Many beauticians suffer from this because they are in the beauty clinic all their working life-thisaffects the ability of their legs to pump used blood and fluid from the lower legs back up to the bodyfor refreshment and recycling
What is flat floor syndrome?
Flat floor syndrome is caused by working and walking on floors which do not give the legs enoughcontrast to make the calf muscles which are the motors and power supply for a pump that movesused fluid up the legs back to the body
Fluid always finds its own level because of gravity
All fluids (when in a confined space) exert a pressure on the walls of the vessels it is confined in-because it is in a column, the pressure is greater at the bottom than at the top-the surface has verylittle pressure on it
Gravity and the weight of fluid in the body
Pressure varies with the height of the liquid column-in the veins of a person standing up-at the head,the pressure is almost non-existent, but at the feet the lowest part of the body the pressure is higher.The term hydrostatic pressure refers to the force that a liquid exerts against the walls of its container(Hydro-water Static-standing still) and is measured in mm hg.Head -10 mm hg
Feet +90 MM hgThe only thing preventing all the fluid running out of the feet is the ends of the toes!
Instead you just get swollenankles
