Most of you don’t know, but a lot of the pain and swelling doesn’t come just from the varicose veins themselves, it comes from the fluid that’s sitting around them.
When there’s too much pressure inside a vein, some of the fluid starts leaking into the tissue, and that’s what gives you that swollen, heavy feeling by the end of the day. Around one in four women have visible varicose veins, and on top of that, if you’re standing all day it will increase your chances of developing them. In a study with almost 7,000 people, 36% of the ones who work standing had them, compared to 27% of the ones who work sitting.
When you do the moves I show in the video, you’re helping your body move that fluid towards its pathways, so it can get rid of it and you can finally lose that heavy feeling in your legs. One thing to keep in mind: never press hard right on top of a varicose vein!
If you want someone else to do it on you, your husband, your friend, your kids, comment CALVES and I’ll DM you a video you can send them so they have no excuse lol
