I have a job where I'm sitting all day long...my feet were extremely swollen for 3 days...I didn't realize what was happening...not only was I sitting for long periods of time I was gaining so much weight...i was walking around with swollen painful feet for 3 days. It got to be so painful that i was going to take myself to the hospital...anyway I did these exercises for 15 min and I felt better my feet are not swollen anymore at all. I can walk! K can walk! I thank God for leading me to this video. It was God because I'm single and live alone. We can't take our health for granted. I'm gonna start exercising more, eating better. Thank you so much for this video. I'm literally crying because these exercises I feel saved my life.
Yes me too had hip replaced wen.i got home noticed feet n ankle swells Is dis some how directed tu.Kidney problems or is it just fluid circulation n blood flow dats causing swelling n odema
Will dis swell finally find its way tu settle in my body n feet i would like a reply anybody . Will i Be back on normal routine n no more swells .etc .
Thank you for this video. At last! You have given us exercises which ARE EASY TO REMEMBER. No more having to keep referring back to the iPad/phone/computer, losing your place and then your patience. And they can be done almost anywhere too. You didn’t blind me with science and, as an 86 year old I very much appreciate that! 😊
Great video. These exercises do help. Please note, however, that the problem is not just blood veins. Water retention is primarily in the lymph system. The lymph system is not powered by the blood/heart system. It only functions by the contracting of the muscles. Exercise is the only way to move fluid through the lymph system. So exercise!
The best leg exercises are the ones you do when you are eating: eat as varied of a salad with dark leafy greens like kale and also beet greens and their stems, these are good steamed, drink Landers All Dark Cherry Juice, eat a variety of vegetables and fruits, including starchy foods like baked potato, brown rice, quinoa. Learn to grill mushrooms without oils and tofu as these are wonderful in a Buddha bowl. Drink plenty of water and wear shoes which do not restrict your toes. Change to Morton’s Lite Salt which is still iodized, it is NOT Sodium/Chloride, but POTASSIUM / Chloride! It still tastes salty, but it does not raise blood pressure. Do not cook with salt, no matter the recipe except for baked goods. Salt only on the surface when you eat at the table, you will enjoy your food without missing the excess sodium which makes you retain extra fluids which makes swelling much worse. Drink adequate water, you still need it. Lose weight, eat Whole Foods without oils or butter. If you enjoy Oriental foods, get the Less Sodium Soy Sauce. Use Sweet and Sour more than the Soy Sauce. Many people have high blood pressure but it can be controlled by stopping the salt as described above but when this is not enough, drinking red grapefruit juice, as well as eating red grapefruit, is effective in lowering BP. NOTE: if you are taking BP meds, you want to take your BP as it begins to come down, cut your medication down but tell your doctor your intent so you can plan together what numbers are worth taking less meds, many doctors do not know that diet can and does work. Usually doctors think that you start BP meds, you are on these the rest of your life. Grapefruit also helps lower cholesterol. We get Del Monte Grapefruit in Extra Light Syrup, it also comes artificially sweetened for diabetics. We find this Delicious Monte grapefruit in the jar at the Super BIG Walmart in the produce section, it is refrigerated. A Whole Food Plant-Based diet got me down from 200 to 120 lbs. and my weight is easily controlled between what I eat and walking or exercises. It is worth it to feel so much better. We do enjoy our food, but we do not live all our lives eating. We eat to live, but not live to eat. I was on a wheelchair, no more. I am active. I do 10,000 Steps so I am getting natural Vitamin D. I am 71 years old and don’t have to take any medications. My husband has had cancer and post surgery, has survived 7 years! He had the high BP and I had the high cholesterol, the grapefruit was what worked for his BP and my cholesterol. It is more fun to drive up to the mountains and hike around than sit in the doctor’s office. What we eat gets and keeps us full. Any diet that makes you hungry and does not solve hunger is not sustainable. I learned to eat this way following Dr. John McDougall’s book, “ The Starch Solution”. Got it on audible and listen to it as I walk to encourage myself to eat right every day. I was brainwashed to eat to get sick, it is my strategy to end that programming with Truth! Our Standard American Diet is addictive, it makes us fat and with many diseases. All the meds then just make us more toxic the older we get and are hard on our liver and kidneys. The best thing is to learn a new way to cook and stop fueling diseases. It is FREEDOM!
Thank you so much for sharing..this means a lot..I just did my kidney transplant few months ago and i started having serious complications edema and constipation which resolved to an emergency Your message will really go a long way ..Thank you ma ❤
The Chinese Qi Gong practices of swinging the arms loosely while slapping the body with the hands rhythmically and in patterns that drive fluid back to the heart, have greatly helped me.
My mum has Adema in her feet & ankles . She is 87 years old in a nursing home. It has swollen up again in feet & ankles. I have massaged her feet & ankles in a carrier oil mixed with essential oils for inflammation. Soaking feet first. She cannot walk now has COPD . Looking at your video . I will get mum to do seated exercise . With her feet. Thank you so much for your video
ME TOO, ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE COMPRESSION SOCKS ON, SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE PAINFUL AT THE TOP OF THE SOCK, AND YES, I DO HAVE THE RIGHT SIZE ON, ACCORDIG THE WAY THEY ARE MEASURED.
Hello Doug, I walk 3 miles every morning and consider myself to be pretty active. All of a sudden I got edema, I went to the doctor and they prescribed me a water pill. I an currently taking the water pill, but my legs are still swollen. My right leg in particular. I had an Ultra sound and there are no blood clots. I watched this video and consider it a challenge. I am going to do all 3 exercises, 3 times a day and I will let you know what happens. I hope I can share the success of your patients.
I have been doing these exercises for over a week.. 3 times per day combined with walking 3 miles every morning and the exercises did help my edema. It made a big difference in the swelling in my calves and they are both the same size right now.
Any exercise done sensibly and with due care is beneficial to the body. I'm going to try these with a diagnosis of severe lumbar stenosis that limits walking per se. Useful from a resting/sitting position!
Great. Good job for doing these three exercises. I just got through watching this video that I became so excited I found out why my ankles and feet is swollen because my body mass is 36. I weight almost 250 Ilbs. So starting today I will be doing these three exercises. Also I am in the process of losing weight too be healthier too.😊
Odema or Edema can also be caused by low protein in( blood test) your diet. I had this problem whilst in hospital, It was quite scary to see tissue fluid leaking out of my arms. With the right treatment, wearing compression socks, exercising, things improved. I was also given water tablets to take which helps remove any excess water in the body. I could drink as much water as I liked as the body only removes any excess it doesn't require. It took about 6 to 8 weeks for my legs and feet to get back to a more normal size and I still take the water tablets(1 a day) Walking every day is a great preventive with a proper diet , low salt high protein.
Thank you, thank you! As a result of doing these 3 exercises for a couple of days, my husband's legs are almost back to normal. Because he saw almost immediate improvement, it motivated him to continue. Thank you!
I'm late in finding this video, yet so happy I did in my search to find some thing, any thing that I could do that is so simple. I started doing the first one when I went to bed last night. The painful foot swelling subsided so fast. I actually got a good night's sleep. Today I have done all three and the difference is incredible ! Thank you very much. My life of less pain and more future mobility means more than I can express.
@@neurolasticinstitute424 It's been 6 days and I am thrilled that the results are so good. My right foot and ankle look normal. My left foot and ankle still have a bit of minor swelling however it is 90% improved. No more painful stretched skin on my feet! Color me amazed and delighted. I do these exercises all through each day. It's improved my ability to stand for longer periods of time and my mobility is a lot better. For me these simple exercises that work is a miracle. I'm deeply grateful.
Thank you for understanding that many of us have limitations and can’t do exercises that require a large range of movements or anything too strenuous. God Bless You.
I had knee replacement 1 year ago My foot went stiff and still is very stiff I cannot walk very far without the help of the walking stick I do water aerobics 5 times a week I m now trying your exercise Thank you so much Godbless you
Your the Best Easy to Do and I walked better in 15 mins..My swelling went Down in 30 minutes almost normal..THANK YOU and ur free .Been to a zillion PT's guy's..THANKs😁😁😁😁
@@neurolasticinstitute424 My FEET LOOK Great I did it a little different then what u did. Like 30mins a day and I do FULL Range u push Down with Right foot and Up with Left foot as Same Time. I can do it too while in Chair while on laptop. Get ur heels like 16" from Chair then R ft Up and L Ft Down Total Range at same time..Best PT every Buddy and My INS and Union spent Zillions..

Been 18 months happened 3x I lose All my progress ..😝😝😝😝
In a few months I will have my 90th birthday, I have a back problem that limits my walking. For at least 20 years I do about 300 heal raises a day. To ensure my mobility, it certainly has worked
I've been doing these ankle pumps and several other "exercises" for more than 20 years, long before I knew I had edema. I didn't know I was doing bonafide exercises. My legs just did them on their own. I do it instinctively, even in my sleep. It drives my wife crazy. She gets up to sleep on a couch and blames me for being addicted to pedaling my bike 24 hours a day whether I'm on the bike or not. Also until about two years ago I was riding bicycle 15 to 50 miles per week, mostly on weekends. I began having this edema during the many years I was an avid bicyclist. It didn't start because I suddenly became sedentary. I am not now nor have I ever been sedentary. These exercises do not reduce edema, except for a short period of time while doing the exercise. Fifteen minutes later the edema is right back where it was before.
I agree with that partly! There isn’t a lasting immediate effect. But done over time, it is an effective way of reducing edema. If the leg muscles are significantly stronger there is less overall edema.
Thank you very much for this video. I suddenly experienced edema in both of my legs 1 week ago. I started doing these exercises and the swelling has gone away. I will continue doing them as well as consulting with my doctor. I prefer using holistic methods first instead of medications. I didn't realize that exercise could eliminate edema.
Awesome! I am gonna get started after I finish my comment. I have Raynaud's Syndrome. I have a lower broken back (before COVID) so I can't do much activities like I used to. My mother had and my sister has leg circulatory issues as well. Edema is so painful, I'm always hollering at my 3 Pitties (60 lbs each) to get away from my feet.😬 Thank You Dr Doug for sharing this information.
Did anyone else just do the seated heel/toe raises while watching this video? I tweaked my right knee earlier this week working out and my calf got a bruise and puffy; a press check showed pitting. I wear compression socks for work but they're ankle height and I walk as much as possible while at work. Hope this helps!
Hello Im do glad I've seen this today, and i eill start these immediately! Can you PLEASE tell me how to deal/treat my weeping feet due to this swelling? Its ruined 3 pairs of shoes even with bandages and is becoming very costly for the items im needing to try to cope. Im 66yrs old and the caretaker for my husband who is pretty ill himself. I've recently moved and no longer have a Dr, least not at the moment but working on thaft ASAP. Thanks for your help. Blessings
I have swollen feet & legs. I also have blood clots and my feet & half of my left leg & had gotten darker in color. I started doing the first two exercises with the suggestion of other P. T. but, not on a regular basis. I still did see some improvement. Now I'm going to incorporate the third exercises you showed & keep in touch with my medical team. Thank you.
Great job! Thank you very much! I have found that the standing one is easier for me to do then the other two. Holding onto the sink while doing squats has also helped in making my legs stronger. They always feel real stiff at the beginning.
I have just started with Leg Ulcers, listen to this guy , I have never known pain like im suffering with now , i have liquid seeping out of my lower legs and holes forming in my flesh.
Thanks Doc I 'have had edema pitted for many years. I was able to get a lot of it under control for awhile doing a keto diet and losing some weight but I can really feel the blood flow into the feet now doing these exercises.
Thank u .I will be starting these right away i have had problems fir the last 32 yrs. I wear compression socks i hate them but i wear them everyday. I hope this helps .
i suspect the cause of my edema is blood clot. What i did is i did breathing/tapping exercise around my liver and heart area, massaged my underarm lympnodes, and did press heart connected accupoints. Edema is completely gone after 2 days session
My left ankle isn’t swollen but my right ankle and leg is because it’s paralysed (polio). I can’t do the exercises but I do find it useful to sit with my right leg high to reduce oedema in my paralysed leg. Even without the muscle function, walking pumps the liquid.
I just watch this video and i am so excited. I weigh almost 250lbs and that i what cause my ankles and feet to be swollen. I am going to do these 3 exercises evey day for my ankles and feet be back to normal Also i am in the process of losing weight to and be healthier. The weight caused my ankles and feet to be swollen.
Thank you for this vidio years ago ive done these three excise and i recd good looking legs ive been told by alot of people but for the last 5yrs ive been having alot of swellon pins and needles and alot of cold in my feet doctor really dont help me with this problem but after seeing yor vidi tonight ill go back too these three ex thank you the best advice ive gotton
It sounds like you also might have some neuropathy since you are experiencing pins and needles. They’re good chiropractors now and physical therapist that have neuropathy programs.
the following is "NOT" doctor advice, suggestion, recommendation, or pitch; Capish? before stocking donner; over 5 minutes per leg. And that was using the bag method. before that around 10 with pulling and stretching and yanking with a good amount of swearing and grunting...yes, it was that brutal but necessary. after stocking donner; 5 seconds to set up on donner 5 seconds to slide up leg give or take 5 seconds to pull out wrinkles the stocking donner is what i use to put on my prescription compression stockings and i do the same with a regular pair of stocking over that. The swelling makes it difficult to put on either without the donner. Thank God there's an alternative. My donner makes my life easier. also i plan to use these 3 exercises...they make total sense to me. In fact i don't know why i didn't think this up first! wish you and yours the very best...and thank you for the exercises. i plan to use a metronome set at 88 beats per minute and a kitchen clock set at 1 minute. then every couple weeks increase the time by 1 minute until i reach my threshold. Probably 5 minutes or so. And keep track of my swelling circumference then report back with my findings.
Have been doing some of these for claudication. It seems like ankle pumps have been mentioned #1 to help with leg and foot problems. Will increase these to see if it helps.
I have a job where I'm sitting all day long...my feet were extremely swollen for 3 days...I didn't realize what was happening...not only was I sitting for long periods of time I was gaining so much weight...i was walking around with swollen painful feet for 3 days.

Thank u I do this exercise regular it helps me 🇹🇹🇹🇹
Thank you ! Will try.
I have just started with Leg Ulcers, listen to this guy , I have never known pain like im suffering with now , i have liquid seeping out of my lower legs and holes forming in my flesh.
I have that in my feet
Thank you - I will definitely start doing this!
Thank you for the exercises. I have recently been doing the latter two exercises while in rehab but I never knew why. Now I know why.
Thanks, will give this a try...
Thanks Doc I 'have had edema pitted for many years. I was able to get a lot of it under control for awhile doing a keto diet and losing some weight but I can really feel the blood flow into the feet now doing these exercises.
Thanks. These can help!

This works exercises and compression stockings have reduced the fluid I had small weeping edema this has now stopped so many thanks
This is great! Thank you!
Thank you 👍
Thank you Doug
i suspect the cause of my edema is blood clot. What i did is i did breathing/tapping exercise around my liver and heart area, massaged my underarm lympnodes, and did press heart connected accupoints. Edema is completely gone after 2 days session
Thank you for your great video 💪💪
Thank you will try them👍
Thank you sir for this
I have already started and I will come back to share my experience ❤
Thanks Doctor
Great info thanks❤
Thank you for this.
Wonderful Sir how many times do
Thank you for sharing those exercises 🙏🏾😊❤️🌈
That is great, thanks very much, God Bless You!!
Thank you.
I began having horrible swelling in my last period 😭 I am absolutely trying this.
My left ankle isn’t swollen but my right ankle and leg is because it’s paralysed (polio). I can’t do the exercises but I do find it useful to sit with my right leg high to reduce oedema in my paralysed leg. Even without the muscle function, walking pumps the liquid.
I just watch this video and i am so excited. I weigh almost 250lbs and that i what cause my ankles and feet to be swollen.
I am going to do these 3 exercises evey day for my ankles and feet be back to normal
Also i am in the process of losing weight to and be healthier.
The weight caused my ankles and feet to be swollen.
Please let me know if it helps! Good luck!!
Yes ur v8deis were helpful Dr.
Great! JOB YOU MUST SEE THIS GAME CHANGER
Thanks doc starting now will inform you the outcome...
Thank you for this vidio years ago ive done these three excise and i recd good looking legs ive been told by alot of people but for the last 5yrs ive been having alot of swellon pins and needles and alot of cold in my feet doctor really dont help me with this problem but after seeing yor vidi tonight ill go back too these three ex thank you the best advice ive gotton
It sounds like you also might have some neuropathy since you are experiencing pins and needles. They’re good chiropractors now and physical therapist that have neuropathy programs.
Thank you very much. I will start doing all the 3
Thanks for the nice video and explanation
You are welcome
I really appreciate your exercise information. TY
Thank you very much for sharing these, how many times a day should we do these ?
Todah! I was looking for something like this?❤
Im glad to watch this coz I have chronic venous insufficiency
thanks - I hope it helps.
the following is "NOT" doctor advice, suggestion,
recommendation, or pitch; Capish?
before stocking donner; over 5 minutes per
leg. And that was using the bag method. before
that around 10 with pulling and stretching and
yanking with a good amount of swearing and
grunting...yes, it was that brutal but necessary.
after stocking donner;
5 seconds to set up on donner
5 seconds to slide up leg
give or take 5 seconds to pull out wrinkles
the stocking donner is what i use to
put on my prescription compression stockings
and i do the same with a regular pair of stocking
over that. The swelling makes it difficult
to put on either without the donner. Thank
God there's an alternative. My donner makes
my life easier.
also
i plan to use these 3 exercises...they make total sense to me. In fact i don't know why i didn't think this up first! wish you and yours the very best...and thank you for the exercises.
i plan to use a metronome set at 88 beats per minute
and a kitchen clock set at 1 minute.
then every couple weeks increase the time by 1 minute
until i reach my threshold. Probably 5 minutes or so. And
keep track of my swelling circumference then report back with my findings.
Thank you! Yes, getting those stockings on is a serious job!
Thank you! I hope this works!
Have been doing some of these for claudication. It seems like ankle pumps have been mentioned #1 to help with leg and foot problems. Will increase these to see if it helps.
Excellent one
Thank you will try them
Thank you Dr Berg for your video info. So many brands out there. What would be the best B1 vitamin to buy?
