My favourite though is a tip that I got from a podiatrist and it REALLY works. You can do this sitting, standing or lying, so try and fit it in several times a day and you should notice a difference. Raise the front of your foot as if you're trying to get your toes up towards your shin. Do it quite hard then drop the foot back down. This should take around or just over, one second. Repeat this movement twelve times, up, down, up down. After a couple of them you should feel a sensation of pulling in your calf at the back of your leg. After twelve, stop and have a rest. The up down motion if done correctly acts as a pump, increasing the circulation to the area, which in turn helps drain fluid away. As I said, do this as many times a day as you can and you should soon notice an improvement.
Ruby, thanks for this, it really works.
