"Walk it off" is a common expression in the context of sports. Usually, if an athlete suffers a minor injury, his or her coach will tell the player to simply walk it off. This is because walking does seem to be a good, low-impact way to stretch and relax the body, which can help to reduce pain. There is also a research that shows that walking it off, in regards to emotional distress, can be helpful. This is because walking can help to reduce stress. If a person is angry, it can also give that person time to calm down. This idiom most often occurs in the command form. Because walk it off is only common for slight injuries, people sometimes use this expression as a way to say stop complaining because your problem is not serious. There are some cases that this expression is used in a humorous way.
The earliest examples of this that are readily available are from the 1800s. One of them pertains to walking as a means to cure gout, and another is about walking to cure restlessness.
