My Airogym has seen quite a bit of use! It has been from the UK to Australia and back twice, UK to Canada, UK to USA (also twice) and UK to Russia. As I don't generally sleep on planes it was used for at least half the flight time for each journey, often more, particularly on the Australian trips. I have been very, very happy with it – I no longer suffer from a numb tailbone after long flights, and feel much less sluggish at the other end of a journey.

You ask about where I heard of Airogym. My mother (in England) originally gave one to my partner, after he had a heart attack, to help prevent him getting DVT following lengthy flights. This was about six years ago. We liked it so much that we use it every flight, now. He even went on air on a radio talk show (that was discussing DVT) and recommended Airogym. The host got very excited as he hadn't heard of any such gadget! (And I wrote to the American Automobile Association magazine about Airogym -- though, alas, they didn't print my letter. I may find another opportunity!) Specifically, I use ours on long flights for a large proportion of the time. Although my prinicipal motivation is to avoid DVT, I find using the Airogym relaxing: it helps dispel the restlessness of long hours in a plane. Just having something to DO in your seat is very helpful and you can use it while watching a movie, eating a meal or reading. I even use it during rest periods: I don't actually sleep but I find the gentle pedalling motion very focussing and it helps me rest. I am very far from a hyper-active person but I find one of the hardest parts of long plane flights is having to sit unnaturally still! One of the units I just purchased is for my elderly mother who is largely sedentary, following a stroke. I hope it will give her some exercise in her chair and help her maintain her strength. I hope you will get Airogym into airport shops. We recently found ourselves in Heathrow without a second unit and had to buy another product which is not as effective as Airogym. Your product should be in every airport!

Thank you for your email. I did indeed receive my Airogyms extremely quickly and they are already in use! I found the Airogym by searching Google for mobility/circulation aids and it for sale in various shops. I then looked up Airogym in Google and found your website. It was the diagrams explaining how the different movements affected circulation together with the testimonials which made me decide to order the Airogym.
I have been experiencing pains in my legs which my GP said are most likely to be caused by my lack of movement at work, spending every day sat at desk with very few opportunities to walk around the office. My GP prescribed painkillers but I'd much rather address the lack of movement issue so, I can use the Airogym under my desk and work are happy and I'm happy!
Another reason I was looking was to help my father who has had on-going circulation problems in his lower legs and feet for the past 5 years or so, a combination of ageing and a lack of confidence to walk outside following a stroke he had again, about 5 years ago. I was encouraged to read someone had bought an Airogym for her father who was now more mobile. My father has started by using the Airogym on his lap with his hands and when I'm not around I know he'll try with his feet, as he's embarrassed by needing help or aids.
I was surprised at the degree of resistance I experienced when using the Airogym and now understand that it does require effort from your muscles so I'm convinced it will be exactly what both my father and I need to improve ourselves.
Lastly, I believe that by using Airogym to improve how his legs feel with improved circulation, that more importantly, this will give my father back the confidence he has lost and this will in turn vastly improve his quality of life, something his doctor doesn't appear too interested in.
Thank you for developing such a clever, practical and smart solution to a very common problem and I hope you sell thousands and thousands more!!

Thank you for supplying the Airogym.I had never heard of the device but my friend at work had and gave me the details. I needed it because of having a blood clot in both my leg and lung and because I sit most of the day at my desk on the computer, it's great to just put my feet on the Airogym and exercise my legs without moving out my chair. (beats the treadmill - ha ha). Anyway, joking apart, its great. Sometimes I can be sitting and my chest can get a little tight or I may feel discomfort. I just get my Airogym and go through the sequence of exercises and I feel a lot better.

Highly recommendable. I think everyone in an office environment should
have one.

Mr. J. Hervey, Edinburgh
The airogym is a boon and I would gladly recommend it! It arrived through the letterbox in just two days and I used it on my flight to South Africa. It was easy to carry in my handbag as it is so small when deflated. I found the Airogym easy to inflate, even at my age, and I had no trouble using it in my economy seat. I could really feel the muscles in my legs working as I pushed the air from one side to the other and it was fun to use too, like a foot massage. I now recommend the Airogym to all my friends and I shall never fly without it again.

Miss S. Strong, Portsmouth
I am a recent customer and user of Airogym and want to tell you how much I liked it. It has been very useful, and thank you for inventing such product, and it really can help my feet avoid getting swollen.

Mrs Hampton, Surrey
I was very pleased with the Airogym cushion which I took with me on the flight to Australia last month. It was very pleasant to use and helped pass the time as well as helping to keep my legs from getting stiff….. Many thanks for a very clever idea.

Mrs Shillingford, Wiltshire
'I became increasingly concerned about DVT following the reported incidents in the press. I have two daughters, one lives in Australia and the other lives in the USA so I travel on long flights at least twice a year. I bought the Airogym from you after reading about it in the telegraph and used it for a flight to Sydney in December. I found it easy to use, and unexpectedly, very pleasurable to use. I must say I felt rather smug on the flight as I was exercising away. I arrived feeling more refreshed than usual and for the first time could get my shoes back on with ease, as my ankles had not swollen up. Thank you so much for introducing this clever little device, the peace of mind, the ease and pleasure of use were fantastic.'

Mr Cole, Birmingham
Your prompt and professional service has been admirable. My Airogym cushion arrived within two days, in time for my trip to America. Thank you.

Mr Wells, Leicester
I have already ordered 3 DVT cushions which we took with us on our flight to Australia on 12 May this year. I found the DVT cushion extremely helpful, normally I would have had quite a lot of swelling on my feet, but using the DVT cushion this was prevented and gave me a more comfortable flight.

Ms K Worley
As a one-time DVT sufferer I have been using the Airogym foot cushion for over a year and have felt much safer in the knowledge that I am managing the risk effectively and simply. Using products designed by people who are very familiar with the aircraft environment only adds to that confidence......... My neck cushion arrived this morning - very impressed!

Mr H Morgan, London
I am a ten year old boy and I had a Deep Vein Thrombosis from using my computer too much. I wasn't allowed to stay on the computer for long but then my mummy heard about the Airogym. She is helping me write this letter to you to say thank you. She bought me an Airogym and showed it to the doctor. Now I am allowed to use the computer again as long as I use the Airogym at the same time.

Mr S Johnson, Essex
I am 96 years old and have been very limited with my walking and exercise for a few years. My daughter bought an Airogym for me four months ago and I had to write and let you know how this product has changed my life. I use the Airogym every day and my improvement has been miraculous. Before I could hardly make it to the front door, now I can walk to the bottom of the street and back again, all since I started using the Airogym. My regards to you for designing this product, and my thanks to my daughter for buying one for me.

Mr Allen, Kent
I suffered a DVT last year and my doctors told me I had to get up and walk around the office every 40 minutes. It was an impossible situation, my employers were trying to be understanding however it was affecting my work. I then read about your Airogym in the Telegraph, bought one from your website and took it to my doctors. They were very impressed and told me I could use the Airogym at my desk instead of walking around the office. Now I tread away at my desk, whilst handling my work-load. It is a great product and you really have saved my job. Thank you Airogym.

K Yarrow
My order has just arrived today - 2 days after ordering! Very impressed! I'm using it now and it is FANTASTIC!! I'm sending one to my parents and my brother. When my husband sees this, he'll want to order some for his parents who are going long-haul from Australia to England next year. I really do have to admit that I was bit sceptical, but it is (amazingly) really easy to use. I do a LOT of long haul flights and this is such a great idea. Thank-you so much!

Mr C Wells
I found the DVT cushion extremely helpful, normally I would have had quite a lot of swelling on my feet, but using the DVT cushion this was prevented and gave me a more comfortable flight.

Ann Wooldridge MCSP SRP
Ms Wooldridge, a physiotherapist, has tested Airogym and now regularly employs the device during the treatment of elderly and less mobile patients. “It has been proven in tests that exercising using the Airogym trebles the peak flow velocity measured in the femoral vein” comments Mrs Wooldridge. “Designed and developed by a senior long haul flight captain, the benefits of this simple, inflatable device are not exclusive to travelers. The potential of DVT problems in the elderly, the less mobile and the other ‘at risk’ patients has recently been highlighted. The Airogym is an ‘egg timer’ shaped sac, which is partially inflated and alternate pressure from the feet or hands offers resistance to movement. It is intended to be used in the seated position.” Ann Wooldridge concludes; “this small, effective and reasonably priced product, is a useful tool in our armoury of preventive medicine.”

J Salem
Brilliant idea! Brilliant product! Fantastic as an arm rest for lymphodoema too!

J Thurlow, Lincs
Just prior to our recent holiday, our travel agent had been sent an Airogym to try out. As we are regular customers, we were asked to give it a try. The results were amazing, my wife and I alternated using the Airogym during a long haul flight, and for the first time in ages neither of us suffered from swollen ankles, this can only be down to the fact of the product. We would now like to order another so that we have one each for our next flight.

J Worsencroft, Sleaford
Thank you very much for the Airogym. Although I do not use it for long haul travelling I do use it every day at home whilst I am reading or watching my TV programmes.
As I am now 78 years old and cannot play my golf or my long distance walking I find the Airogym is invaluable in keeping my muscles supple and helps with the circulation in my legs.

B Green, Southsea
I must write to thank you for introducing me to Airogym. I'm not a traveller and, owing to my age (72) an debilities I am confined more or less to a sedentary life - reading, watching TV, computer time. It all means a lot of sitting.
However since I've used the Airogym I find my feet and leg muscles far more supple and experience fewer attacks of cramp. Thanks again, I am indebted.

R Parr, Southampton
May I thank you for putting me on to your clients' website for Airogym.com. I did in fact purchase a couple of these for our recent trip to Australia and it was very reassuring to use these for exercise in order to minimise the risk of DVT!

Mrs Dick
I am a pensioner with breathing difficulties and don't get much exercise. I bought an Airogym from you and started using it. I really am pleased with it .... I have noticed a big improvement in the circulation in my legs and am so please to know that I can have confidence in continuing with these exercises. I will be sending for an extra cushion in a day or two. Once more, thank you.
p.s. the Airogym is also good to use while sitting at the computer.

Ms Kenroy
Last month you kindly sent me some Airogyms for use in our physiotherapy department. My colleague, who runs the gym, has been using them for exercises for people with recent leg fractures, severe sprains and strains etc. prior to progressing to full weight bearing and has found them 'superb'. Several patients have taken the Airogym phone number with a view to purchasing their own.

Mrs Fletcher
How easy to use - Comfortable and relaxing.The Airogym was very comfortable to use and the effects are noticeable my legs felt less tired after using the airogym on a 12 hour flight than after a 2 hour flight without one.

Mr Abbet
Every airline should offer Airogym. Simple to inflate. Very easy to use.

Mrs Kollen
A great invention which my friends also want to use. It has certainly kept my muscles more mobile & it is very easy to use. My physiotherapist recommended it & I now find it invaluable.

S Skemer
My hospital recommended it, post-operation. What a fantastic product.

Miss Teakles
Apart from from use on planes, I have used the Airogym when working at my desk - where it has not only helped my feet but has also improved my circulation. Thank you Airogym.

Mrs Rhyne
I had a slight DVT with pregnancy. Applaud your inovation, been using it watching tv!

Mr T Nowell
This was bought for a friend who has diabetes and is immobile working at a desk for many hours a day. Since it is important for him to try to keep the circulation going in his legs, I thought this might be an effective way to stimulate the circulation. He now uses it every day and finds the product superb.

Mrs Williamson
It was easy to roll up and put into a bag.

Ms Farreth
I liked the Airogym as it reminded me to do my exercises

Miss G Ingham
Good idea. Compact, light, easy to use. Hope it saves lives

Mr Gifford
Good customer service. My Airogym arrived within two days.

Ms W Williams, Kent
I recently went to the doctor with swollen ankles and he suggested that it is because my job involves long hours of sitting in front of a computer. He suggested that I do a little dance under the desk every so often.
I wondered if anyone else had a similar diagnosis and what was being done about it - which is when I found you on the internet via an online article in the Telegraph.
Once I got used to the continuous movement of my legs and feet I found the squishiness really comforting..... I could definitely feel that the exercise was doing my toes, ankles and legs the world of good.

Miss Williams, London
The airogyms are perfect and I am using them every day - one at home and one in the office. What with the airogyms and a couple of belly-dancing classes every week, I've been losing lots of weight as well as toning up my muscles. My swollen ankles have disappeared and I feel so much better all round. Many thanks - I think your product is great! Best wishes from a happy customer!

Mrs Josie Armitage
I was always too busy. I knew exercise would lower my blood sugar but I was never one to do anything about it, so I took exercise off my guilt list and added it to my to-do list. Then I said 'DO SOMETHING-ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING' You don't have to do it all at one time, just a few minutes each hour add up. Using the Airogym got me started. I showed a few friends and they tried it too. Now we are walking together as a group it is easier for me to keep my blood sugar closer to where I like it and I feel better and less stressed. People sat I look better too. We still use our AIROGYMs when it is raining or I am just sitting watching TV
