Fitzgerald Pharmacy Leg Health Day


May 15th 2013


10am to 2pm


 


ARE YOUR LEGS AT RISK?


 


• Do you spend long periods of time standing in one place? 


• Do you frequently get swollen feet or ankles?


• Are you pregnant?


• Do your legs often feel tired?


• Do you have a family history of varicose veins?             


• Do your legs ache?


We all want to enjoy healthy and active lives but with all the tasks of work and family we may forget about maintaining the health of our legs.


Problems with the veins of the leg occur in both men and women of all ages but certain factors increase the risk of venous problems. Health conditions, lifestyle habits, heredity, injury, surgery, age, and pregnancy all play a role. While you are unable to control heredity, age, surgery and changes during pregnancy, you can improve lifestyle factors through exercise, good posture, avoiding inactivity, choosing good fitting clothing and footwear, and wearing gradient compression hosiery that is right for you.


 


Please join us on Wednesday, May 15th from 10am to 2pm 


*Free gift with purchase of compression garments*


(limited free gift items available)
