Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear on the legs. They occur when the valves in the veins fail, allowing blood to pool instead of flowing back to the heart. While primarily a vascular condition, physiotherapy plays an important supportive role in managing symptoms and improving circulation.
At Actilife, we provide a comprehensive program including specific exercises to improve leg circulation, compression therapy guidance, and education on lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms and prevent worsening.
