Regular Movement

for Oedema (Fluid Retention)

Regular walking and calf muscle exercises to activate the muscle pump and promote venous return from the legs.

How it works

Calf muscle contraction pumps blood and lymph upward against gravity. Regular movement prevents prolonged static venous pooling.

What to watch for

Take walking breaks every 30-60 minutes when sitting for prolonged periods. Ankle circles and calf raises effective when walking is not possible.
