Calling all nurses, teachers, hairstylists, chefs and tradies in Frome! As a Sports Massage Therapist, these are my top 3 non-negotiable rules to protect your lower limb health and help prevent burnout.
You’re spending 8, 10 — even 12 hours a day on your feet. It’s no surprise that by the time you get home your legs and feet feel achy, heavy, and start throbbing. That isn’t “just fatigue” — and it isn’t something to ignore.

1️⃣ Don’t wait for pain to act
Lower-limb pain rarely comes out of nowhere. It usually builds gradually as your body adapts to long hours of standing and walking. Addressing movement issues early is key.

3️⃣ Recovery is part of the job
