A leg up to boost poor circulation
PUT your feet up and ease the worry of poor circulation. Painful, swollen legs and ankles make life difficult for many yet it’s a problem that can be helped by lifestyle changes, including something as simple as the right chair
Circulation is the blood that is pumped around your body by our heart. With each heartbeat, blood is pumped to the lungs where it collects oxygen. The oxygenated blood travels back to the heart and is then pumped out so it can distribute oxygen to all parts of the body.
When something goes wrong and the flow of blood is blocked or restricted, oxygenated blood is unable to reach the far-flung parts of the body.
This can lead to serious health issues however it’s worth remembering that poor circulation isn’t a condition itself; rather it is the result of other health issues.
There are a number of things that we can do to improve our circulation. Eating a balanced diet, for instance, and taking regular exercise are two of the easiest – and are important to maintain our health generally.
And then there’s putting your feet up. Oak Tree Mobility is the leader in specialist furniture and home equipment to make life easier. It offers a wide range of comfy chairs and sofas that can give your life a lift.
All its rise and recline chairs have the option of the unique high leg lift that can help improve circulation.
At the touch of a button it raises your feet above the level of your hips (recommended by doctors and occupational therapists alike), helping the blood flow back to the heart and reducing swelling and pain in the legs. You really can relax knowing that sitting back is doing you good.
You can also extend that effect through the night with an adjustable bed. All Oak Tree Mobility’s adjustable beds have a K-frame that can be adjusted in five places – head, back, bottom, knees and feet.
By raising the feet and legs, circulation is improved, and swelling is reduced in the same way as with a high leg lift chair.
Another bonus with Oak Tree Mobility’s British-made furniture is that it doesn’t look like it is specialist equipment in the middle of the home – it simply looks comfy and stylish.
Five varieties of lounge chair and sofa cover any look you want, from traditional to contemporary.
Oak Tree Mobility’s team delivers your furniture – and then unpacks it, sets it up and makes sure you know how to operate it, all included in the price.
And then you can really put your feet up. INFORMATION oaktreemobility.co.uk/Freephone 0808 278 9520.
