Heavy legs treatment: massage or pressotherapy

For heavy legs, you choose between hands and a device. Manual lymphatic drainage and massage feel good when, along with the heaviness, you also feel muscle tension, while pressotherapy is a practical choice for routine relief after standing, training or travelling. They often work best in combination.

At Fizio Spa, we first ask when the heaviness appears. If your legs feel heavy in the evening after a whole day on your feet, 30 or 45 minutes of pressotherapy is a simple start. If you also feel tightness in your calves or thighs, lymphatic drainage or massage makes more sense.

Prices are affordable: pressotherapy is 1.100 dinars for 30 minutes or 1.500 for 45, and manual lymphatic drainage ranges from 2.400 to 3.700 dinars depending on the length. Pressotherapy can be added to any treatment for 600 dinars.

Caution is needed if the swelling is in only one leg, if the leg is warm, red or painful, or if the swelling doesn’t go down overnight. These aren’t situations for massage but for a doctor. The same applies if you have a known vein problem; tell us before your appointment.

Frequently asked questions

When should you choose massage and when pressotherapy for heavy legs?

Massage or lymphatic drainage makes sense when, along with the heaviness, you also feel muscle tension. Pressotherapy is practical for regular relief after standing, training or a long journey. If you’re not sure, tell us when the heaviness appears and we’ll suggest a combination.

When is a heavy legs treatment not the first step?

When the swelling is in only one leg, when the leg is warm, red or painful, or when the swelling doesn’t go down overnight. These are situations for a doctor, not for massage. Caution also applies if you have a known vein problem.

What should I mention before a heavy legs treatment?

Tell us when the heaviness appears, whether your legs swell, what you do during the day and whether you have any vein or circulation problems. A simple description of your day is enough; based on it, the therapist chooses the treatment and its intensity.
