Tired, Aching Legs

Tired, Aching Legs

Definition

Pain and fatigue in the calf muscles and muscles behind the knees.

Symptoms

A tired, aching muscles at the back of legs after a long period of standing.

Biomechanical etiology

Overpronation of subtalar joint causes internal rotation and abnormal traction on the calf muscles. Often hard and flat surfaces we stand and walk on causes overpronation of subtalar joint which in turn puts torsion and pressure on the muscle structure of the lower legs.

Treatment

Orthotics, like Stabilizer Insoles, reduce torsional pressure by controlling overpronation and rotation of tibial.

Exercises

Stretching of calf muscles.
