Chronic Venous Insufficiency, Thrombophlebitis, and Varicose Veins


Up to 50 to 100 calf raises each day as well as raising up on the toes from time to time throughout the day should enhabce the venous system of the legs.  In response to the development of these calf muscles, they should also be stretched.  This can be accomplished by placing one leg behind the other approximately 6 to 8 inches from a solid wall.  Hands should be placed on the wall, with the knee of the extended leg straight and the other knee bent, while leaning into the wall.  The calf area will begin to stretch.

Walking is another exercise that can be done, rain or shine, every single day, in order to improve muscle development in the lower extremities.  Walking aids the return of the venous blood, not only during the walk but also for several hours afterwards.
