Am doing some exercises my podiatrist gave me to do (twice a day) under the desk. It's quite anti-sore feet and relaxing. I'd like to suggest that everone does this at least once.
Grab a tennis ball. Sit down and take your shoes off. Roll the tennis ball around on the floor with your foot. Whole foot (15+ seconds), ball of foot (ditto), middle of foot (ditto, but I can happily do this as long as my ankles hold out...), heel. Repeat with other foot. Instant mini-massage, complete with low-impact foot muscle strengthening exercise. Don't press down, you want light pressure, not busted tennis ball.
It makes my ankles and knees click, but less than they do when I walk, so it's all good.

rowlirowl, if you want to borrow the tennis ball, it's behind my heater. Bastard gave it to me to replace the one the podiatrist gave me which he broke.
