"Eliminate swelling and make your feet feel refreshed and light"

In the evening, my legs are fluttering ... Isn't it? Mr. asami will tell you the recommended poses for such troubles.picture?Isn't it just the legs that are swollen?Yeah, no doubt⁉

If you stay in the same posture, such as when standing for a long time or working at a desk, blood circulation will be delayed and your legs will tend to swell.Gravity tends to cause the feet to accumulate water, and women are especially prone to swelling because they have less muscle mass in their feet, which is responsible for sending blood to the heart.
