Is it safe for me to do exercise with my varicose veins?

Yes, certain exercises are safe for varicose veins. In fact, plenty of exercise is encouraged to prevent the development of varicose veins; as an inactive lifestyle can cause or worsen varicose veins.

If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, the circulation of blood around your body can suffer, so it is important to keep moving as much as possible to reduce the pooling of blood in your veins. This is particularly relevant to the veins in the lower legs.

I would recommend trying moderate, low-impact exercises such as cycling, walking and gentle calf stretches if you suffer from varicose veins. These will help to get the blood circulating  more efficiently.

After exercise, Venagel can be massaged onto your legs to provide soothing relief to tired, heavy legs. This will also help to get the blood flowing in your legs which is vital for the avoidance of varicose veins.

More intense exercises such as running or weightlifting should be avoided if you already suffer from varicose veins. These could make symptoms worse by putting too much pressure on your veins and blood vessels.
