The demographic development indicates that people are getting increasingly older. We are heading for a Methusalem society. But the lifestyle that has been led so far is taking its toll:

• The likelihood of experiencing a massive leg complaint in old age (swollen feet and legs, oedemas, ulcers, “open leg”) is extremely high (Bonn vein study, Prof. Dr. E . Rabe, 2004). The costs for treating these leg complaints (compression stockings, lymph drainage, health cures) become higher with increasing age. The initial syndrome includes weak connective tissue and cellulite.
  

• The consequences of circulatory problems are pains in the feet and legs when strain is put on them (every other person over 60 cuts short the distance they walk due to pain! In brief: “shop window illness”). Arteriosclerosis is also the risk marker for heart attacks and strokes per se. Both together are at 54% the number one cause of death in Europe and the USA.
  

These health threats are mainly due to lifestyle: too little exercise, too much and the wrong food! Other risk factors are smoking and diabetes.

Weyergans High Care AG, as a certified competence partner of angiology, phlebology, (vein medicine), lymphology and cosmetics, has developed treatment methods to prevent and treat cellulite, weak connective tissue and circulatory disorders. The treatments are very pleasant, totally relaxing and even result in an improvement in the appearance of the body. They are ideal for implementation in a competence department for Medical Wellness.
