Physiotherapy for Intermittent Claudication
Do you regularly experience stabbing pain in your legs while walking? Intermittent claudication, also known as window-shopping claudication, is caused by reduced blood flow to the muscles. This can cause you to stop after a short distance due to pain or cramps. Fortunately, with the right guidance, you can increase your walking distance and reduce your symptoms. At Fysi, we help you with a specific exercise program so you can move with confidence again.
How does physiotherapy help with intermittent claudication?
A physiotherapist can play a crucial role in the treatment and rehabilitation of neck pain. This can be done in several ways:
Thorough intake:
We map out your complaints and walking distance and draw up a tailor-made treatment plan.
Running training:
Through structured running training we stimulate blood circulation and increase your walking distance.
Muscle strengthening exercises:
We work on strength and stability, so that your legs can withstand more stress.
Breathing and relaxation techniques:
Stress can worsen your symptoms. We'll teach you techniques to stay relaxed during exercise.
Lifestyle advice:
Smoking, diet, and exercise all influence your symptoms. We offer practical advice to improve your health and prevent further problems.
