7 Exercises to Improve Circulation in Your Legs with Varicose Veins

If you have varicose veins, it’s important to improve circulation in your legs to reduce swelling and discomfort. Here are 7 exercises that can help:

1. Ankle circles

Stand or sit with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lift your heels off the ground and make small circles with your ankles, first clockwise and then counterclockwise. Repeat 5-10 times in each direction.

2. Toe curls

Stand or sit with your feet shoulder-width apart. Curl your toes under and then release. Repeat 5-10 times.

3. Calf raises

Stand on the edge of a stair or step with your heels hanging off the edge. Slowly raise up onto your tiptoes and then lower back down. Repeat 5-10 times.

4. Leg lifts

Lie on your back with your legs straight. Lift one leg off the ground and hold for a few seconds before lowering it back down. Repeat on the other side. Do 5-10 repetitions on each leg.

5. Hip abductions

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly lift one leg out to the side, keeping it straight, and then lower it back down. Repeat on the other side. Do 5-10 repetitions on each leg.

6. Knee extensions

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly straighten one knee, keeping your foot flexed, and then lower it back down. Repeat on the other side. Do 5-10 repetitions on each leg.

7. Elastic band exercises

Use an elastic band to perform exercises like knee extensions, hip abductions, and calf raises. These exercises can help improve circulation in your legs and reduce swelling.
