FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The Airogym is a scientifically tested foot cushion, heralded as a break through in reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Immobility is one of the risk factors of developing DVT. People who are immobile, either at home, in the care of others, or who are temporally immobile e.g. due to travelling, can benefit from foot exercises. Passengers on an aeroplane are often immobile for hours at a time.

Although performing general foot exercises may be of use, the Airogym was specifically designed to promote the increase of blood flow through the deep veins. By pressing your foot on the cushion and performing the variety of exercises, veins in the foot become compressed; this squeezes blood into the main veins in the calf, increasing blood flow by up to 300%, reducing the risk of DVT.

The Airogym specifically comabt, not only the risk of developing a DVT, but also prevents ankle swelling, by the following exercises blood is pumped from the legs, reducing/preventing ankle swelling in anybody who suffers such symptoms due to immobility.
