How to do it
- Sit sideways next to a wall, then swing your legs up as you lie back.
- Rest your legs on the wall with a cushion under your hips if you like.
- Breathe slowly for 5–10 minutes.
- Bend your knees and roll to one side to come up.
Easier version
Rest your legs on a few cushions on the sofa instead.
Safety note
Come down if you feel tingling, numbness or dizziness.
Why women include it
Many women with lipedema include a legs-up break at the end of the day. Some say their legs feel lighter afterwards, others enjoy it simply as a pause. Notice how your legs feel and log it.
