AIRCYCLE exerciser provides gentle exercise without weight-bearing or strenuous activity. Inflatable, simple to use, soft on feet and easily carried in a pocket or purse you can use it from the comfort of your chair while sitting – reading, having coffee, watching TV or travelling. Originally designed to help people with arthritis, the AIRCYCLE exerciser is hugely successful with helping relieve circulatory and foot, leg and hand problems. See the ad below for a list of conditions it helps. A woman from Te Horo invented this simple device to help relieve her husband’s severe arthritic pain and stiffness. His arthritis carers were so impressed with the relief and increased joint mobility he experienced they thought it should be available to other sufferers. “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. I can move more freely and have much
less pain in both my hands and feet. My feet are warmer too and now I don’t need bed socks which I’ve worn for years,” said Gay, Rotorua. Help to increase joint flexibility and muscle strength, balance and mobility can be improved. Hence AIRCYCLE is used to aid: • those affected by a stroke, Parkinson’s or M.S. • those waiting for hip or knee replacements • anyone wishing to increase strength plus remain independent By helping to prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis and Overuse Syndrome it makes an ideal gift for: • office workers who sit at a desk for long periods • travellers on planes or buses Made in NZ, many hospitals, rest homes, arthritis educators, diabetes clinics, podiatrists and physiotherapists use or recommend it.
