Runners Legs
A Jacksfeets Special The Runners Legs Treatment
What massage can do for you!
This treatment’s ideal for those of us who do a lot of walking, running or cycling. Especially if you’re in training for a marathon or long-distance walk. Build it into your regime, it will help to prevent injury, sprains and strains of the joints, muscles and ligaments.
Even Hippocrates 4,000 years ago prescribed massage for soldiers to release fatigue and pain while in training and games. It’s well known he documented that “massage loosens tight, and tightens loose, muscles, tendons and ligaments”, strengthening joints muscles and ligaments.
How it works? It works because massage makes the joint more stable and less prone to injury, improving the range of movement. Massage increases the blood flow into and out of the legs, as a result of this there’s more blood carrying fresh nutrients to the muscles and waste away. There’s also an improvement in lymphatic drainage which leads to a reduction in static lymph. Resulting in increased removal of the toxins from the muscles relieving cramp and pain. To sum up, the muscles become stronger, it also prevents them from tiring quickly and reduces the risk of damage
Irritable Legs
This condition can run in families, but the true reasons unknown. However, several actual problems can cause the condition.
- An Iron deficiency
- Dopamine deficiency
- Parkinson’s
- Diabetes

- Drugs and other triggers are causing irritable legs.
- These include some, antidepressants, antipsychotics, lithium, antihistamines and anti-emetics.
- Other possible triggers smoking, alcohol, obesity, stress and lack of exercise.
Massage helps to relieve irritable legs, simply because it increases the blood supply to the legs. In addition, an Abdominal massage will increase a rich blood supply to and from the gut, improving absorption. Increasing the absorption of iron and the amino acids – tyrosine and phenylalanine. The kidneys and brain use these to produce dopamine. Dopamines also produced locally in organs and tissues, using it to aid their function. In conclusion, because massage increases blood flow, it helps to contribute to the relief of symptoms throughout the whole body.
