Increasing Circulation?!
Question: Hi, my mom has been having a really hard time sleeping latly. She is having problems with circulation in her foot, she has a 100% blockage, she only has periperal circulation and it keeps her awake, because she needs to put it in a certain position to keep circulation. She of course is on blood thinners and such, and she is having surgery in a few days, but in the mean time she is suffering, and i wanted to know if there was anything to do to maybe increase circulation, or help her sleep without cutting off circulation. Please help if you can.

Manual manipuation of the area "massage" is a great way to increase blood flow to problem areas. Also, a heating pad is helpful in situations such as this. Poor Tissue Perfusion is a big problem in the world today, I myself had a knee injury with was causing my right foot to lose feeling, massage and heat works well. Also, if possible, Ballistic Stretching "Forced Stretching beyond one's natural means, by physical force applied by another" can help with circulation justbe sure not to break or tear anything...
Hope she is ok and everything goes well, good luck...
