Staying active is one of the best things you can do for your overall health, and your vein health is no exception. Exercise plays a key role in keeping blood moving through your legs, reducing the pressure that can lead to varicose veins, swelling, and discomfort. 

At VeinSolutions Austin, we know that pairing healthy lifestyle habits with the right medical treatment is the best way to keep your veins healthy.

Best exercises for vein health

Low-impact activities are especially beneficial for vein health because they work the calf muscles without putting excess strain on the legs. When your calf muscles contract, they act as a natural “pump” to push blood upward from the legs toward the heart, reducing the pressure that contributes to varicose veins. These exercises also improve overall circulation, support healthy weight management, and lower the risk of blood pooling in the veins.

• • Walking: A simple, low-impact way to get blood moving. Even 20–30 minutes a day makes a difference.
  • Cycling or stationary bike: Strengthens calf muscles and improves circulation without putting stress on joints.
  • Swimming: The water’s buoyancy supports your legs while giving you a full-body workout.
  • Leg stretches and calf raises: Quick, easy exercises that activate circulation.

When to See a Vein Specialist

Sometimes lifestyle changes alone aren’t enough to reduce your varicose vein symptoms. If you notice persistent leg pain, swelling, heaviness, it may be time to consult a vein specialist. Our vein experts can evaluate your symptoms, identify underlying vein disease, and recommend advanced treatment.

Vein treatment options at VeinSolutions

At VeinSolutions, our board-certified vascular surgeons offer the latest, minimally invasive procedures to treat varicose veins and restore healthy circulation:

1. Endovenous Laser Treatment: Seals problem varicose veins with heat or medical glue, rerouting blood to healthier veins and reducing bulging and pooling.
2. Ambulatory Phlebectomy: Removes visible varicose veins through tiny incisions and specialized instruments with minimal downtime.
3. Sclerotherapy: Involves injecting a solution into spider veins, causing them to collapse and fade from view.

Each treatment is tailored to the individual, depending on the size, location, and severity of the veins.
