If you suffer from a vein condition like varicose veins, you may be hard-pressed to find a solution to get rid of them. Whether you are beginning to feel the discomfort vein conditions can create or you simply don’t like their appearance on your legs, you are certainly not alone in trying to find an effective and affordable vein treatment that works.
You may have stumbled upon home remedies and over-the-counter solutions that claim to eliminate varicose veins, but oftentimes, these treatments only target the surface of an otherwise significant health issue – rather than the actual cause itself. You can also receive treatment at Canada Vein Clinics, providing vein procedures that relieve pain and create long-lasting results. But if you are looking for a solution that you can practice in between your treatment with Canada Vein Clinics, you may want to start a new exercise routine – swimming! You may be surprised to learn that swimming and other water based aerobic activities can have a tremendous benefit on your veins.
What Difference Does Water Make?
You may have heard that increasing general exercise can help with varicose veins, and that fact remains true. However, swimming tends to have a few added benefits over other cardio routines. If you have ever noticed that you seem to weigh less when you’re underwater, that difference in buoyancy actually works to relieve some of the pressure placed on your veins. With a decrease in pressure, your body has better circulation, which helps your veins move blood back up to your heart more efficiently than when you’re on dry land.
Swimming is also one of the only forms of exercise that requires the use of your entire body, so not only are you improving the circulation near your varicose veins, but your whole body is being conditioned as well. You won’t have to worry about swimming straining your joints; it’s a low-impact workout that actually improves your flexibility.
What If I’m New to Swimming?
If you’re not a strong swimmer or you don’t know how to swim, you can still practice an aerobic routine in the water and receive great results. The key is to start with an easy workout so that you don’t shock your body and risk an injury. Try swimming laps using flotation devices, like a kick board or water dumbbells, to help build muscle tone and keep you afloat. You can also tread water for 30 seconds at a time for a low-intensity workout. If you haven’t learned how to swim and don’t know how to tread, you can try kicking your legs while holding on to the side of the pool or pedaling underwater. Lifting your legs or simulating jump-rope in the water are also good exercises to try.
Even if you don’t yet have varicose veins, swimming can help prevent them – a short, 30-minute workout will do the trick! The exercise won’t eliminate varicose veins completely, but combined with the additional procedures that available at Canada Vein Clinics, you should notice a difference in your veins after a few weeks.

Consultation
by Alan. Trufal
Category: generalAfter 3 veinous ultrasounds, due to a swollen left leg and painful ankle when walking, I got my doctor to refer me to Canada Vein Clinic. Another ultrasound was done in house. I lucked into a virtual consultation with Dr. Matz himself, shortly after , fully expecting a recommendation for one of the vein treatments . Laser was what I expected. Much to my surprise , after being asked a number of questions relating to my symptoms, Dr. Matz suggested that there was no serious vein problem . He recommended an arterial ultrasound, which was also done in house , shortly afterwards. Before I forget , I would also like to thank the staff , and in particular Sasha , for all her help and concern. It appears that I do have minor vein and artery issues in my left leg. But , nothing that would require any intervention at this point in time. I cannot thank Dr. Matz enough. I believe he is a very honest , caring and most competent doctor . If I ever do need a vein procedure , I will return to have Dr. Matz do it.
VenaSeal
by Billie Johnston
Category: generalGreat experience at Canada Vein Clinic. I had the procedure done approximately 3 years ago to remove my varicose veins. It has taken me this long to leave a review because I wanted to be sure it lasted. It has! I was VERY nervous, but on the day of the procedure felt comfortable and confident that I was "in good hands". The actual procedure was not painful and not even uncomfortable. However, 3 or 4 days after, I did develop pain and discomfort (because I did not follow instructions). It was recommended that I apply Arnica and I did not. When I developed the pain, I did start applying the Arnica and within a day everything was as it should be. Highly recommend Canada Vein Clinic. Very professional, courteous, and informative. And my leg is still smooth and vein free after 3 years!
Venalseal
by Gisele McCann
Category: vein therapyI had contacted Dr.Matz at the Canada Vein Clinic to have removal of some very large veins reviewd. Since I have some medical issues, Dr.Matz suggested that the safest way to achieve this would be with the venaseal procedure. Ultrasounds confirmed that this would be the safest way. I was aware that it may not result in a 100% result. The procedure was basically pain free with a minimal amount of bruising and very fast recovery. Multible Ultrasound checks over 1 years Confirmed that the procedure was successful and improved with time. I submitted pictures for a telephone consultation with Dr.Matz and was assured that minor issues could be addressed at a later date. I was treated with the utmost professionalism by Dr.Matz and the clicic staff. I would recommend to get an assessment by Drt.Matz at Canada Vein Clinics. GMCC
Never felt better
by Lori Brummell
Category: vein therapyOne year ago I got my various veins done. My legs have never felt better. It is expensive but well worth it.
Venaseal Treatment
by Francesco Giordano
Category: vein therapyMy varicose vein was so bad that my calf was almost double the size of the other one. After my Venaseal treatment with Dr. Matz, it has shrunk down to the same as the other one with some minor bruising as the only evidence left of the varicose vein. All the staff at the clinic were friendly and kind. Overall it was a great experience.
