Varicose
It is possible for any vein in the body to become varicose. However, it is most common to find varicose veins in a person's legs or feet because standing increases the pressure in these veins.
Physiotherapy
Another term which means the same as physiotherapy is "physical therapy." This term can refer to any physical therapy such as massage or exercise.
Elevation
A simple physical therapy that you can perform is to elevate your legs. It is important to have your legs above your heart level so that there is not too much pressure on the veins in your legs.
Compression Stockings
Wearing compressions stockings can be another treatment for varicose veins. You should put these on in the morning before you begin to walk around which causes your veins to swell.
Walking
Do not sit or stand for extended periods of time. Every half hour or so, it is important to walk around because this will force the blood from the deeper vein system.
