Joints and circulation
Exercise while sitting watching TV or reading. It’s easy and gives so much relief. Twelve years ago a lady from Te Horo devised a means of relieving her husband’s severe arthritic pain, stiff joints and swollen ankles. The inflatable cushion, shaped like a pair of feet, allowed her husband to exercise his ankle, knee and hip joints, wrists, fingers, arms and shoulders while sitting. It was so effective an arthritis educator requested more be made for other sufferers. The gentle exercises not only help aching joints but
hugely improve circulation in legs, feet and hands. Users report swollen ankles, night cramps and restless legs greatly improved. Diabetes related problems are eased. Leg muscles are strengthened and balance improved helping users to walk further with greater confidence. “Aircycle is even better than the information says. The pain in my knees has gone and although I use a walker I don’t need it around the house anymore” – Gay, Rotorua Advertising feature
