This short video will show you how to do the ankle pump exercise. This exercise is performed by simply moving your ankles up and down. The aim is to improve your ankle mobility and circulation.
You can complete this exercise in lying or sitting on a chair. Your aim is to move your toes up and down as far as it is comfortable to do so, creating movement in the ankle joint.
Follow the advice for the reps or duration that is in your rehabilitation report. Generally this exercise can be completed little and often throughout the day and should not be painful.
