    If you have not had an injury to your feet and/or ankles, and you are having swelling, make sure you check in with your doctor because it could be a symptom of a more serious issue.
    Ankle pumps, calf stretches, and straight leg raises (SLR) are great ways to help reduce swelling in your feet and ankles. Working the calf, quads, and hip flexors work as natural pumps to move the fluid out of your legs.
    Also, propping your leg up above your heart and just relaxing can help reduce the swelling as well.
    Some seated exercises like seated hip flexion, seated long arc quads (LAQ), and heel and toe raises are great to do if you have to work at a desk all day. You can also do the heel raises standing for a tougher exercise.

      @@AskDoctorJo Hi, Since having my COVID vaccination the day after my feet and and legs plus the rest of my body to a lesser degree and after extensive blood tests for DVT and scans on my heart and on my body up to now nothing has been found to indicate why I reacted this way to the vaccine. Water tablets and other alternative vitamins haven’t done much either. So I have started on your exercise program. Can you please send me any further advice as I have so far been this way three and half months.

      @@AskDoctorJo I skip rope regularly and also team this with a 2-5 mile walk a day. Yesterday I skipped rope then went about my daily walk (4+ miles). Me feet were hurting more than usual, so when I got home I sat down and rested for the remainder of the day. By the evening they were still quite sore and I wanted to take a look at them to see if I might have gotten blisters. What I found was swollen ankles instead. Now I've been exercising for years and this has never happened before post exercise. I still have the swollen ankles, though the pain has lessen. I had edema once from a long flight that lasted for 3 weeks and though I did everything to reduce the swelling, it just took a really long time to go away. Is this normal to have swollen ankles if you're an active person?

    Many thanks for this video, Dr Jo - really clear and explaining how the exercises work. I've been looking at other videos, and they're not as good - or maybe I just wasn't able to concentrate and hear it all. Your warnings about seeing my doctor if I had no idea why my feet and ankles were swollen were exactly right, and we're currently exploring my heart condition. Keep up the good work! though I'd guess you enjoy your work so much it would be hard to stop you … xxxxx

    Thanks a lot. I was so scared as even after the initial tests results being ok, my feet swelling was not reducing for almost a month. 3 days twice a day of these exercises has shown remarkable results. Now I know the swelling has most probably been due to sudden lack of movement ND lack of exercise.
