Easy-to-learn exercises designed to help prevent thrombosis, fatigue, and improve flexibility for people who sit for a long period of time.

Flying can be a health hazard. A recent study published in the Lancet has shown that around 1% of people after flying for more than four hours suffer from deep vein thrombosis (clots in the vein that travel to the lung), a serious, possibly fatal condition. I believe the whole body gets adversely affected with long flights, not just DVT. To minimize the health problem, I have created a set of exercises combining tai chi, qigong and back stabilizing muscles. The exercises are easy to learn, and you can practice them within the confines of your seat. I have used them during my numerous flights and have found them helpful.
