Elevation of any edematous (swollen) body part, especially an appendage, decreases inflammation by using gravity to aid venous return of blood back to the heart. In damaged tissue, blood will flow to the area for healing. When the damaged part is elevated, it promotes venous return. For elevation as a purpose of edema reduction to be truly effective, the elevated body part must be higher than the heart. In other words, if you are sitting on a couch with your ankle on a coffee table, that is not true elevation.
