Default Think about it?

You likely aren't moving about as much as 'before'. It's an issue we all have to wrestle with!
Here is a site of 'exercises' that covers the whole body...pick what you need and most of this is stuff you can do at home.

If you have gone thru PT before, I'll bet that lots of these are familiar. It's surprising how much good a small set of theraband exercises [you can do in your chair] can help stimulate the circulation at swelling spots. Did for me!
You can find therabands at all the 'Marts and Targets of the world. Abt $10 for 3 different resistances [I use the wimpy one myself-it's all I need]/
Hope this helps - j
