You can help your varicose veins out by lessening the effect of gravity on them. Elevating your legs while you rest can take pressure off weakened and varicose veins. You can do this by putting your feet up on an ottoman or coffee table while watching TV. You can recline in a recliner or simple lay down on the couch with your feet up on an arm of the couch. If you read in bed, try elevating your legs with a few extra pillows under your feet. Crossing your legs can put excess pressure on leg veins, so try to avoid that position.

Elevate and Exercise

You can also do leg exercises while your feet are elevated which can help your varicose veins. Try pointing and flexing your feet by bending them at the ankle 10 to 15 times. Rotate your feet at the ankle, changing direction every 30 seconds. These easy exercises can improve circulation and take further pressure off your veins.

Treating Varicose Veins On-the-Job

Many people have desk jobs, which aren’t exactly kind to varicose veins. Try using a small box to elevate your feet for several hours a day. You can also do leg exercises at work to keep your leg veins toned. Bend your legs at the knee a few times every hour to relieve pressure that may have built up. Grab a friend and take a walk around the building at lunch to help blood in your legs to circulate. Control your varicose veins with these simple methods of elevation and low-impact leg exercises.
