Leg swelling often manifests not just as a visible change but is also accompanied by feelings of fatigue, heaviness, or symptoms like muscle cramps. While poor blood circulation is a commonly assumed cause, massages typically provide only temporary relief, with symptoms returning the next day. In other words, the cause of swelling is not solely related to blood circulation but rather the ineffective activity of the muscles in the feet, which are the body’s extremities.

Blood circulates throughout the body, and gravity facilitates its flow towards the feet; however, returning blood from the feet to the heart requires muscle activity. Particularly, the muscles in the feet automatically play the role of a pump by contracting and expanding, and if this mechanism fails, swelling occurs. The reason for this malfunction can be attributed to the excessive burden placed on the feet controlling the body’s center of gravity due to spinal misalignment. Over time, the muscles in the feet lose the ability to expand, remaining contracted. As a result, the pumping function is lost. The blood accumulating in the feet gradually accumulates waste products, increasing the blood’s density. Consequently, before returning to the heart, the blood, laden with waste products, flows into the lymphatic vessels running alongside the blood vessels, leading to swelling.
