Massage techniques to reduce leg swelling □

Many girls are troubled by swelling in their ankles. In fact, it's not just the ankles; the area above the knees is also prone to swelling!

Leg swelling is often caused by poor lymphatic drainage, which carries excess water from the body. To improve lymphatic flow, regular massage and increased metabolism are necessary to address the root cause of leg swelling. If the swelling is more pronounced above the knee, it may be due to hardening of the lymph nodes in the popliteal fossa behind the knee. Massaging these lymph nodes during massage will enhance the effect.

1. Grab your back ankle with your hand and move it towards the inside of your knee. Repeat with your left foot. Do this 5-10 times on each side.

2. Wrap your hands around your feet and press the instep with the pads of your thumbs. Press several times from the base of your toes to your ankle with a pressure that does not cause pain.

3. Grasp your knees with both hands and massage the area 10 centimeters above the knee. Repeat 10 times on each side.

4. Cover your calf with your palm and massage upwards from the ankle to the knee. Repeat on both legs, massaging several times on each.
