How it works
Elevation promotes venous and lymphatic drainage of fluid from the legs back toward the heart and reduces capillary hydrostatic pressure.
Elevate legs above the level of the heart not just raised slightly. Most effective when done for 30+ minutes multiple times daily.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
