Improve Vein Health: Keep your Legs Moving!

Lack of exercise is a common cause of vein problems. Sitting or standing too long slows the blood flow and creates the consequent health issues including leg aching, leg heaviness, leg ulcers, spider veins, varicose veins, etc., Here at Physicians Vein Clinic, we urge you to think twice about staying at home the whole day as physical activity could actually help diminish the appearance and reduce pain from varicose veins.

Walking

Walking is the easiest way to get those legs moving and improve the overall circulation of the lower extremities. A morning jogging not only refreshes your mind, warms up your body but also strengthens your veins. The next time, instead of choosing a drive-through, walk your way to the nearest coffee shop for your online order.

Swimming

The low-impact nature of swimming makes it ideal for those with varicose veins. Circulation is immensely improved without the opposing pressure from the ground such as running. Swimming is also an ideal summer exercise during the summer times.

Pedaling

Lie on the floor on your back with hands out to your sides. Lift your legs away from the floor and do the pedaling motion as if you’re riding a bicycle. Elevate your legs while pedaling to further increase blood circulation.
