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.
