DVT is mainly caused by immobility and can affect people who are continually in a sitting position for long periods of time, particularly on long-haul air flights. If the blood clot breaks away and travels to the lung it can cause a stroke, heart attack, and in some cases, death.
Whilst compression flight socks may be the most common method of preventing DVT, research has shown that they can be harmful if they are the wrong size or if they are not fitted properly. Adverse side effects range from abscesses to an increased risk of developing DVT.
Avoiding DVT is simple with the clinically tested and medically proven Actiflo exerciser. The device is compact and can fit in a handbag or pocket. It is available online for £12.48 at www.wallacecameron.com and from selected retailers.
The Actiflo exerciser is comfortable and easy to use. It is placed under the arch of the foot when seated and mimics the act of walking by rocking the device backwards and forwards with the foot, maintaining normal blood flow in the legs.
Actiflo is a completely natural and effective way of avoiding DVT as it maintains normal blood flow in the legs with up to 10% further improvement. It is safe for everyone to use, regardless of medical condition. The device can be purchased from the Wallace Cameron website www.wallacecameron.com.
