Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For mild swelling of the legs, ankles, and feet, elevate your client's lower extremities by placing them on pillows or cushions. Use gentle gliding effleurage applied centripetally. Massage proximal to the affected area first and then proceed distally (e.g., massage the thigh, then the leg, and the ankle and foot last).
