7 Ways to Reduce Leg Swelling & Fatigue

Starting off on the floor or your bed, ankle pumps, calf stretches, and hamstring stretches help increase the circulation to your legs to help with blood flow.

Another great way to help reduce swelling and fatigue is to use compression stockings, like JOMI compression. They also have a great tool called Measure Up on their site that helps you get the perfect fit without leaving your home.

For some seated and standing exercises, you can do seated leg extensions or long arc quads (LAQ), seated hip flexion, and standing heel/toe raises.

Covid a year ago left me with lung damage and odd body problems related to my lungs. My legs have been swelling up to a huge size to a point that I can't get shoes on or walk. Since it started it has gotten slightly better but they haven't returned to their normal size. My knees are killing me! These videos are 100 times more helpful than any doctor I've been to and that been more than I can count.

Thank you for helping me without listing all the super scary possible causes for my swollen legs.

I'm very happy to have found you. I just recently started experiencing moderate leg swelling. I have had varicose veins for years. My cardiologist said don't worry about the veins unless they cause pain. The swelling, specially around the ankles, only started recently. I will certainly try your suggestions. Thank you so much for the video.

I noticed swelling in both of my legs for few days and I was very much scared that may be it's because of kidney disease. But because of this exercise 70 percent of my swelling reduced. Thanks very much Dr.

I do commercial stretches. When watching tv I do different stretches when the commercial comes on. I only pull slightly but for at least 3 to 4 minutes.
More stretches after a run than before. Relax!
