Can he press on something when he is in bed?

I started by pressing my foot on a pillow, then on the mattress, then on the wall above my bed, also pressed it into the arm of my couch.

I also used the wondercore to "peddle" pushing my foot into it, starting with my toes and gradually working down to my heel.

Try using a portable infared heater. I did not find this heat increased swelling.

I was not able to put considerable weight on my foot until I spent multiple sessions in the pool.
