"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'

The 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:

	in the Cinema
	long coach/train journeys
	in the car (not while driving!!)
	at the computer desk - see link to article below.
	rehabilitation (after injury or surgery) or anytime when one has to sit for prolonged periods

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

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 SKINS 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
