The optimal angle of foot elevation to improve circulation in the lower legs can vary depending on the individual's specific condition and needs.

In general, elevating the legs to an angle of 15 to 30 degrees above heart level can help reduce swelling and improve blood flow to the legs. However, it's best to consult with a medical professional to determine the appropriate angle of elevation for your specific condition.

In addition to foot elevation, other measures that can help improve circulation in the legs include regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, wearing compression stockings, and avoiding smoking.
 

To help find their best leg elevation many of our customers purchase an adjustable bed, with some models you can even program in that position so the bed goes there at the touch of just one button.
