Do you feel certain unwanted weight in your limbs or abdomen? Have you pain in these areas? Also are you noticing any changes in your skin? Because if you do feel these things, there might be a chance that these signs and symptoms suggest that you have excess fluid in a body part. What we offer at Om Physio plus Nutrition is a therapy which is clinically tested for the prevention of venous stasis. ‘Venous stasis’, a two-word term but which can doubtlessly cause severe conditions such as deep vein thrombosis and lymph edema.
