💡 Did you know that in our legs we have a “second heart”?
No, it's not a legend: it's the nickname given to calf muscles, and the reason is really fascinating!

💪🩸 When we walk, climb the stairs or simply stand up, these muscles contract and act like a real natural pump, pushing blood upwards against the force of gravity, in the direction of the heart.

🔁 This mechanism is essential for:
✔️ Promote venous circulation
✔️ Prevent blood clots in the legs
✔️ Reduce swelling, feeling of heaviness and varicose veins
✔️ Reduce the risk of deep venous thrombosis

🛡️ All of this thanks to the synergistic work of muscles and venous valves, which prevent the blood from going back.

👉 Here’s why sitting or standing for too long can be harmful, while regular movement — even with a simple walk — helps the circulatory system function better.

🚶‍♀️💓 In practice: every step you take is a gift to your heart.
Walking, moving, stretching... These are simple gestures, but fundamental to health.

❤️ Don’t forget: taking care of your legs means taking care of your heart.

Our connective tissue not only has great tensile strength, but it has electrical properties that are often ignored or not well understood. The collagen in our connective tissues has properties that include piezoelectricity, the ability to generate electrical currents when deformed. This means that every time we move any part of our body, we are creating tiny electrical currents.

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord don't heal well on their own. Peripheral nerves fibers, however, do. They heal, but slowly. Peripheral nerve fibers will heal after a trauma, entrapment, etc., but at a rate of about 1mm every 3 days, or 1cm per month. Bodywork to free up the nerves can expedite this.
