Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the inclusion of a physiotherapy approach in primary care consultation prescribing exercises and teaching self-massage techniques would be well accepted by patients of chronic venous insufficiency and provide higher benefits in the self-management.

Conditions

  • Chronic Venous Insufficiency, CVI

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Compression Stocking

Wear the compression stockin at least 6-8 hours/day

PROCEDURE

Therapeutic exercise

Home-based exercise programm based on calf strengthening, mobility and stretching of lower limbs performed in standing, sitting, and laying position. Each exercise was performed 15-20 repetitions, 1 set, 3-4 days at week. In addition to these exercises, patients were instructed to walk, at least, 20 minutes at day.

PROCEDURE

Self-massage

Self-massage techniques alterne manual lymphatic drainage maneuvers with superficial techniques that follow the path of saphenous veins, their respective cayaids and the anastomotic system.

PROCEDURE

Prevention measures

General preventive recommendations, and they were explained to the patient by the primary care physician. Those recommendations were based on the reduction in risk factors described in the Guide of "Recommendations for the management of Chronic Venous Disease in Primary Care" published by Semergen and semFYC.
