Treat Varicose Veins And Leg Heaviness With Just One Simple Exercise A Day
Like 5 Dislike 0 Published on 27 Nov 2018
Today’s busy world makes it tough for the average person to make time to exercise.
While staying active is important for a healthy lifestyle, studies show that you can improve the health of your veins and circulation with one simple move: elevate your legs.
Leg elevation is proven to relieve symptoms of varicose veins and leg swelling (lymphedema). Elevating your legs lifted also helps prevent DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a common and dangerous blood clot that can travel to the lungs and cause a life-threatening PE (pulmonary embolism).
Basically, Legs Up the Wall posture is exactly as it sounds! You lie on your back with your sit-bones as close to the wall as is comfortable for you. From there, you extend your legs up the wall, so that the backs of your legs are resting fully against it.
In more therapeutic variations of this posture, you may have blocks under your hips to elevate them, creating a slight inversion in your lower belly, and a strap securing your legs together so that you can fully relax and release into the pose, without having to exert effort to hold your legs up.
So, take a load off. If you’re reading this on your mobile device, lie back, elevate your legs, and find out how you’re improving your health by adding leg elevation to your daily routine. If you are in a situation where you cannot elevate your legs make sure to do some calf raises in place or walk in place to stimulate muscular activity to pump the venous blood back towards your heart.
If you find it too difficult to perform then raise your legs at a different angle. This will give you added support. Different leg lift variations include going very high, or very low. Switch things up, until you find what works for you. You can hold grasp a stability ball between your legs, to increase your core strength.
