Combining several motions, the circulation boosting sequence increases blood flow over your foot. Start with your fingertips mild tapping motions all around the foot. Work from your toes toward your ankle using fast rubbing movements. This promotes blood flow and can help ease edema sometimes brought on by extended durations of sitting. Working from the toe to the ankle and back, gently squeeze movements should be included along the length of your foot. Long workdays can cause ankle and foot edema; this pumping action helps clear stagnate fluid from the feet and can help prevent these effects.
