Pedalling an inflatable Aircycle while watching TV helps to keep muscles and joints flexible and boosts circulation.
The AIR CYCLE is simple to use, soft on your feet and easily carried in a pocket or purse. It provides gentle exercise without weight-bearing or strenuous activity. Anyone can use it from the comfort of their chair while sitting doing other things - reading, having coffee, chatting on the phone or watching TV.
Although originally designed to help people with arthritis, the Aircycle has proved helpful for a variety of circulatory and foot and leg problems. It is helpful for relieving joint and muscle pain, swollen feet and ankles, cramps and restless legs; for diabetes foot-care and ulcers; for anyone sitting for long periods such as computer operators and office workers, convalescent patients and long-distance travellers; for those affected by a stroke, Parkinson's or M.S. It aids circulation, helps to strengthen leg muscles and keep joints flexible and improve mobility. The Aircycle can also be used on the lap or on a desk top to exercise fingers, wrists and shoulders and warm hands.
The Aircycle is registered with Medsafe and some hospitals, rest-homes, diabetes clinics, podiatristrs and physiotherapists are now using and recommending it.
