What happens when you stand on your feet for to long?Updated 16 days ago

The most commonly reported symptoms from standing for extended periods are fatigue and discomfort affecting the feet, knees, and lower back.  Each year a number of sick days are reported on account of work-related ill-health and a sizable percentage is to do with disorders affecting the lower limbs. Among other things, standing on your feet all day can result in:

- Swollen feet
- Muscle soreness and fatigue
- Knee problems
- Varicose veins
- Plantar fasciitis and more

Fortunately, most of these are issues that supportive footwear can help with.
