“Are cold feet a symptom to be concerned about? Cold feet may just be your body’s response to cold weather, but it could also be an indication of circulatory issues that could benefit from massage treatment.”
There are numerous, quite common reasons why you may have chronic cold feet including strained tight muscles, swollen lymph nodes, infections, high blood pressure, diabetes and more. Any one or more of these could be the cause of circulatory discomfort. Poor blood flow means it takes longer for blood to reach the extremities, feet and hands.
In today’s busy lifestyle, one could easily develop muscle strain. When the body feels an injury, the lymphatic system sends fluid to help heal the muscle. If your system has a problem filtering the excess fluid back to where it needs to go, swollen glands, pain and numbness can be the result.
Visit your massage therapist to discuss your symptoms. This is the first step to bringing relief to your cold feet.
