Frequently Asked Questions
If you've got a question about the Aircycle and how it can help you, have a look through our frequently asked questions below!
If the answer you're looking for isn't there, please fill out our general enquiries form and we will answer your query as soon as possible.
How long should I use it each day?
It is most important to use your Air Cycle frequently during the day, as often as it is convenient for you to do so. People who get the best results are those who keep it beside their chair with their feet resting lightly on it and work on it whenever it is comfortable to do so.
I suggest at least 4-8 times a day. You might find a way of reminding yourself to do a few pumps at particular times (eg. each time the adverts come on T.V., when you sit down for morning or afternoon tea, while reading or talking on the phone.
Let your muscles be your guide as to how long to use it each time. As you build up strength you will be able to sustain longer periods of exercise. If you work too hard at first you may get stiff muscles. Gently at first – little and often.
Can I put too much air in it?
Yes you can. It will not work properly if you cannot press one foot right to the floor so that it is completely empty of air. At this time the other foot should be full of air.
Will it help my swollen ankles?
Yes. Using the “treadle” action (with the Air Cycle turned sideways) provides an effective calf pump to encourage circulation and facilitate the reducing of accumulated fluid and therefore ankle swelling.
I have health problems which mean I am especially at risk of developing D.V.T. when flying. Can it prevent blood clots forming?
If the “treadle” action is used frequently throughout a flight the risk of a clot forming is reduced because circulation is being encouraged.
The Air Cycle (if used according to instructions) will help to maintain normal blood flow while sitting and for most people that will reduce the chance of a clot or D.V.T. Keep your feet on it during the flight and use it often.
Can I use it in the car?
Yes. Using it in the car will help to prevent cramps and reduce stiffness which often occurs when sitting for long periods. It will also help to relieve the aches and pains of arthritis and varicose veins.
Can it heal my ulcer?
Ulcers often do not heal because of poor circulation. Blood needs to reach the affected area to bring its healing. So, improve your circulation and your chance of an ulcer healing is increased.
Use your Air Cycle with the “treadle” action as this is the best one for promoting circulation and therefore for hastening the healing of an ulcer or other abrasion.
Can it help my diabetes?
It cannot change or cure your diabetes but with diabetes, foot problems are common and in advanced cases toes, feet and even legs sometimes have to be amputated.
The tiny blood vessels contract, nerve endings die, loss of feeling results and often cuts, abrasions and ulcers occur which do not heal readily.
For this reason it is very important to do everything possible to maintain good circulation in the legs, feet and toes to try to avoid these problems.
Use your Air Cycle with the “treadle” action 3 to 6 times a day to keep a continual flow of blood to the small blood vessels in the feet and toes. Endeavour to keep your circulation boosted at all times.
Will it help cold feet?
Cold feet are usually due to poor circulation so improve your circulation with the “treadle” exercise and feel the difference!
I can’t walk far. Is it suitable for me?
It is suitable for you. Whether it enables you to walk further or not will depend on why you cannot walk far.
If it is joint stiffness or muscle weakness then using the Air Cycle frequently may help to strengthen some muscles, improve your balance and make you feel more stable on your feet.
Improved circulation also has many benefits which help some people to walk further and with greater confidence.
Will it stop my ankles swelling on long haul flights?
That will depend on how frequently you use the “treadle” action during the flight. It will help to avoid swelling if you keep the Air Cycle at your feet and work often on it throughout the flight. You may well be amazed at how effective it is.
Is it washable?
Yes. It is very easily washed in warm, soapy water and disinfected also if desired, by adding a small quantity of disinfectant to the water.
I feel unstable on my feet. Can an Air Cycle change that?
Using an Air Cycle frequently may help to strengthen your leg muscles, improve your balance, give you more confidence and help you to walk with more stability.
How can I use it to exercise my hands and fingers too?
Simply place it in your lap and pretend your hands are your feet. Do the same exercises suggested for feet with your hands.
Is it guaranteed?
Yes it carries a 12 month, money back guarantee against faulty manufacture.
