Atmospheric pressure-gravity-the calf muscle pump andAching LegsLeg recovery using anenvironmentally friendly recoverysystem

Atmospheric pressure is all around us and affects all we do and all we are-everyone is walkingaround with a column of air on our heads that weighs similarly to a small car but because of airin the body cavities the pressure is equalized and it does not crush usBut a system in the body it has an effect on is the circulation-it pushes all the fluids in the bodydown towards the lowest part of the body, the feet where gravity stops it coming back up to thebody for recycling and recirculation as fresh bloodTo stop the muscles fatiguing, fresh oxygen and nutrient filled blood has to keep beingsupplied to the muscles-but when the muscles are fatigued they can’t work at facilitating orsupplying their own needsThe calf muscles are the motors for a pump called

the calf muscle pump

that forces usedblood against gravity through one-way valves in the veins back up the bodyWhen you are on your feet all day and the calf muscles start to fatigue, power stops beingsupplied to the pump and the blood just pools around the ankles-the water (or lymph fluid)separates from it and migrates into the tissues in and around the anklesAs it is not being pumped away fast enough from the lower legs, the ankles swell and if itwasn’t for the ends of the toes it would all flow out of the body all over the ground

The secret to leg recoveryThe calf muscle pump

The calf muscles act as the motor for a pump to take it from the feet back to the body againstgravity through the venous system where it is re-nourished and recirculated-but to be workingthey have to move.Look at the photo above-how many towels and bottles of oil do you see?None because the latest in
