Do your legs and feet painfully ache and throb after a shift? Do you legitimately look forward to kicking off those shoes and socks and airing out the extremities that have been cooped up all day? Surely, it\u2019s not just me, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You often read about muscle fatigue and delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) after exercise, but very rarely do people discuss solutions for pain experienced after work due to excessive standing. It\u2019s pretty frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post gives effective, real-life suggestions we use after a shift to not only treat, but also prevent, sometimes debilitating symptoms and long-term health complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stick Your Legs up on the Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a long, busy shift I generally look forward to taking off my shoes and socks and elevating my legs against a wall for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draining of blood releases pressure and reduces pain and swelling like nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place your butt as close to the wall as possible with a rolled-up, small towel on your lower back for support.<\/p>\n\n\n
