This moves the blood around and helps lymph return properly.
The muscles, then do not atrophy from disuse and the blood moves around preventing clots and improving circulation.

That certainly sounds worthwhile trying. Any effect on PN (or different time frame)?
I tried poking around online for the exercises (many PT exercises can be found) but apparently I'm not figuring out the right search criteria.
Can you describe the exercises that we could try them, or maybe you have a pointer to a site where they're described?
