Prevention of cramp in the calf muscles
M any people suffer from cramp in the calf

librium of blood flow in the muscles.
T o improve the blood circulation and pre-
vent the onset of cramp, the Compex of-
fers a specific stimulation programme. Use

Prevention of occasional swelling of the
feet and ankles
I nsufficient blood circulation in the
veins in unusual circumstances fre-
quently gives rise to an accumulation of
blood and lymph in the extremities of
the lower limbs.
T his phenomenon, which results in
swelling of the ankles and feet, brings
with it an unpleasant sense of heaviness
and tension in the areas concerned. The
deep massage caused by the Lymphatic
drainage programme will effectively ac-
tivate lymph return circulation and thus
encourage the elimination of this disor-
der.
Cycle duration: 8 weeks, 3 x/week

rience occasional swelling of the feet and
ankles
