I am 21 years old I work 8 to 9 hours a day as a hotel waitress. My legs hurt because of standing up all day. What can I do at home to feel better. Home remedies please.

Question

1. Toe Curls

Stand with feet hip-width apart and right foot on a towel. With the toes of your right foot, gather the towel and slowly pull it toward you. Return to start. Complete 10 to 15 reps then repeat with the other foot.

2. Monster Walk

Start standing with feet shoulder-width apart and place a resistance band around your thighs. You can use one long resistance band tied in a loop or a smaller circular band. Keep feet far enough apart to maintain tension on the band. Step forward with the left foot then the right foot. Then step to the left with left foot then the right foot. Step backward with the left foot then the right foot. Step right with the right foot then the left foot. (You basically walk in a square). Repeat going in the opposite direction.

3. Heel Drop

Stand with feet staggered on a step with right toes on the edge of the step. Shift your weight to your right leg and bed left knee to lower right heel down below the step. Return to starting position and complete 10 to 15 reps. Then repeat with your left leg.

4. Single Leg Bridge

Lie faceup with your arms resting at sides, knees bent, and feet flat on the floor. Extend right leg straight out so that knees are in line. Squeeze glutes and engage left hamstring to lift your hips up off the floor. Complete 10 to 15 reps. Repeat on other side.

Freeze a paper cup filled with water, tear off the top edge of the cup, and massage with comfortable pressure along the inside of the shinbone for 10 to 15 minutes after running to reduce inflammation.
