For all the travelers this season, sitting on a plane is tough on our joints. Here are some tips from the Physical Therapy Association to keep prevent stiffness and pain. Do each of them 5-10 times throughout the flight.
1. Heel raises: Sit with feet flat on floor, lift heels off floor, hold for 5-10 seconds and lower
2. Ankle circles: Lift one leg slightly off ground and circle foot clockwise counterclockwise each 15 times, repeat with other leg
3. Overhead stretches: Reach arms straight up and stretch for 10 seconds, lean to left and then right, bend at waist, open and close hands, circle wrists as your stretch
4. Back Twists: Reach right arm across body and grab the left armrest. Slowly turn body and head as far to left as comfortable and hold for 5-10 seconds.
5. Curl downs: Pull stomach and chin in while sitting and gently curl your body down very slowly, reaching hands toward the floor. Hold 5-10 seconds and slowly uncurl.
Happy travels!
