"Prevention is better than the cure"


    As a retired Flight Attendant, I am fully aware of the discomforts of long-haul flying. Aircraft have become larger so carry more passengers and now have the ability to make longer direct flights.

It is not always possible to walk around the airplane as is often suggested by the experts. Also, there is the added danger of 'clear air turbulence' which can occur at any time during the flight and can cause unnecessary injuries. 
I have been witness to these!

Deep Vein Thrombosis is an abnormal process of clotting in the deep veins of the body. The condition is serious, potentially fatal and very difficult to diagnose by external examination. Many on -going studies are being done on this problem but it does appear that inactivity is a contributing factor.
NB If you are at all concerned about your legs or circulation before or after your journey please consult a healthcare professional.

Flik Flak Legaciser - Allows you to exercise while seated!
Designed and 'made in New Zealand'

Exercise while seatedThe Flik Flak allows you to "Exercise in your Seat" Not only does it assist circulation but alleviates the pressure on the thigh against the seat which is also beneficial.

HOW TO USE: It is so simple to use, just open it out, place you feet on it and rock back and forth. It folds flat for easy storage in hand luggage or airplane seat pocket.


SOME OTHER USES: The Flik Flak makes a great gift and has several alternate uses such as:Stows in Seat Pocket

"I have just flown for a total of 30 hours in the past week, the Flight Socks were just great, no leg soreness or swelling and they just look like a normal sock"

Jetskins - For Travel and Recovery
Made from luxurious sanitised and wicking microfibre. Worn & endorsed by STEVE WAUGH.

Jetskins for health and comfort

"I've been wearing the skins for the last nine months," says all-conquering Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh, who no longer gets on a plane without them. "They've made a huge difference."

Lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear, Jetskins have been designed to wear during flight to help alleviate the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in healthy passengers.
This stylish body-contoured leg-wear significantly increases the flow of oxygen to your legs and reduces the effects of jetlag.
Just slip them under your clothing before you fly and you'll be surprised just how much better you feel after your journey! Put on JETSKINS  before travel and leave on until final destination.

Jetskins are also great to wear while sightseeing when you are on you feet all day. They will reduce tiredness by increasing circulation and removing toxins.

"
I am back from my wonderful holidays and can't praise the Jetskins enough.  Had no problem with my legs despite being on the go for some 48 hours."         
Veronika, Bay of Islands, New Zealand

They are also excellent for sports recovery
Other Skins available:
SportsSkins, SnowSkins, GolfSkins, UpperSkins(short/long sleeves), ShortSkins.

Caire Circulation Balm - with massage roller.

Stimulates circulation
bullet A rapidly absorbed combination of herbal extracts known to help stimulate circulation and ease aching legs and feet.
bullet Most effective when massaged directly into leg muscles and combined with stretching.
bullet Formulated using extracts from fennel. hops, camomile, balm mint, mistletoe and yarrow.
bullet By massaging into the calves, feet and ankles during long-haul flights, drinking plenty of water, stretching and walking during flights will help increase circulation and prevent swollen ankles and cramps
 

(Fennel has an anti-irritant and mildly disinfectant action......Important for sensitive skin. Hops contain phytohormones which are responsible for the toning and blood flow-promoting properties of this plant. Yarrow exerts a positive influence on the circulation of the blood, while balm mint and mistletoe have a calming effect on the skin)
 

The Caire Foot Roller Massager obtains best results when used with the Caire Circulation Balm. Take off shoes, gently move roller back and forwards with the feet. the roller stimulates the acupressure points in the foot. Keeping the feet moving during flight will also help circulation.
