Exercises for Leg Lymphedema
Lymphedema leg exercises can help with lower body lymphedema, and they’re easy to do at home. Below, we’ll talk about some of the most beneficial lower body lymphedema exercises and how to do them.

Hip and Knee Bends
To perform ankle circles, simply move your ankle in a clockwise circle while you’re lying, sitting, or standing. After you’ve done several clockwise circles, you can switch directions and do a few counterclockwise circles to make sure your entire ankle is stretched out.3

Marching
Marching is another simple lymphedema leg exercise you can perform on your own. This too can be done in a sitting or standing position. If sitting, simply lift your knees as far as you comfortably can. If standing, focus on driving your knee up when walking to create a 90-degree angle. March for several meters, focusing on your form to help circulate the fluid in your legs. You can march in place, when you’re walking around the house, or outside on a walk.3
