    Thanks for this. Im scared to death of getting blood clots. Im bed bound at the moment and have Auto immune disease. So this helps my anxiety a tiny bit. God bless you.

    I'm on high foot elevation for the next ten days which does of course help with blood pooling but not muscle weakness, and i'm still worried about DVT. As I'm in a below knee cast I'm limited with some of these exercises although I've been doing bicycles, as well as leg lifts (I've lost so much strength in my operated leg, it feels like it weighs about eighteen tons and I can't move it at all if there's a blanket over it!). Picked up some good tips here, thanks.

    Good video on foot and leg exercises. Also, I suggest in your next video on this subject -- to include the REASON why these simple exercises are so effective; namely, describing how your “calf muscles” are the pumps that direct venous blood back to the heart (via the Peroneal vein). So, when you are sitting for a long time and not moving, blood tends to pool in your lower legs and feet (especially with older folks) and that can develop into DVTs, thus increase the likelihood of clot formation. So, activity that gets the (bi-head) calf muscle to flex and relax, actually moves the veinous blood back up to the heart.
    You could show a cool diagram of the main Peroneal vein as it courses up from the back of the leg between the two heads of the Gastrocnemius muscle, so that when you move your feet (in your exercise) it flexes and relaxes the calf muscle, thus pushing the venous blood up like a pump, ergo, the “calf muscle pump” name! The exercise mimics walking, and is the reason why doctors ask folks to walk! To relieve the pressure in the legs (accumulated blood and fluids) to get that “pumped out” and back to the heart!

    Hi! Thank you for this. I'm currently on bed rest with bathroom privileges. I can't do a lot of the exercises but the ankle ones while lying down seem okay. Will that be enough to not have DVT? Also what do you think of compression socks? Used some recently but we're so painful and tight and uncomfortable.

      I hope you are all better by now, but the answer about the compression socks is that they come in many different levels of compression. Yours were TOO TIGHT! You can search for ones that are advertised as for nurses. Those have a light compression and are comfortable but still helpful.
