Every day the same thing. They took off their shoes, and their feet felt like they were filled with lead, their ankles were swollen, and their calves felt heavy. It seems that even walking is difficult. The problem is not the salt or the weather. The lymph just stagnates, and the calf muscles are tired. No need to run to the pharmacy. Today you can start a five-minute evening ritual right in bed.
1. Legs on an elevated platform
Lie on your back with your feet up on the wall or high headboard of the bed. Lie quietly for 2-3 minutes. Feel the heaviness lift away.
2. Stop pump
Lying on your back, pull your socks towards you as much as possible, then away from you. The movement must be amplitude. Perform 15–20 times at a calm pace.
3. Foot rotations
Rotate your feet in a circle, first in one direction, then in the other. Perform 10 rotations in each direction. Breathe freely.
4. Finger clenching
Squeeze your toes tightly, then spread them wide. Hold for 2 seconds in each position. Repeat 15 times.
Do this workout every night before bed. You will notice within 3-4 days. Your feet will stop buzzing, your shoes will become looser, and you will feel light and confident in open shoes.
Question and answer:
Why do my feet tingle and swell in the evening?
The main reason is stagnation of lymph and venous blood due to prolonged standing or a sitting position. The leg muscles work like a pump, and without movement, fluid accumulates in the tissues.
How to quickly relieve swelling of the legs at home?
Raise your legs above heart level for 10–15 minutes. Perform light foot exercises and self-massage from ankles to knees to disperse lymph.
