1. The simplest trick is to go for a walk. This helps the fluids pulling in your ankles to mechanically shift up using your calf muscles as you take each step.
2. Calf raises are a good way to contract those calves if you’re unable to walk.
3. If you’re in a chair – raise your feet up and straighten your legs and point your toes forward and back to contract your calf muscles while you’re seated.
4. If you’re able to lay down – elevate your feet to a level higher than your chest and let gravity do the work for you.
