Arthritis aid and circulation booster returns to Kapiti It all started when a worried wife from Kapiti found a way of relieving her husband’s severe arthritic pain and stiffness. She created a device she called an Aircycle. Arthritis carers were so impressed with the relief and increased joint mobility this man experienced they asked for more to be made available to other sufferers. Consequently, a cousin of the creator, Jenny Watson from Lower Hutt, started the Aircycle business which she has grown to the extent that the exerciser can now be purchased through most pharmacies and mobility centres. Jenny’s recently decided it’s time to retire. She says “I’ve loved working with senior people, hearing their health worries and sharing their excitement when they find they can walk without their walker now or talk of their ankle swelling disappearing ‘like a miracle’”. The new owner, Sue Bustard, whose background is Account Management, lives in Kapiti where the Aircycle was founded. She’s thrilled with the constant feedback from customers. “Finally I’ve found an amazing product which I’m absolutely passionate about. This simple, clever invention actually changes peoples lives.” Sue says: “You don’t have to designate special exercise times or work long periods with an Aircycle. Just keep your joints and muscles moving gently while sitting having coffee, reading, watching TV, working at a desk or travelling by car or plane. It’s so simple and inexpensive.” The letters and phone calls received from people are amazing. Here are a few of them: I’ve had my Aircycle for 7 weeks and use it regularly each evening while watching the 6 o’clock news and again for 10 or 15 minutes before going to bed. Quite often when sitting down with a cup of tea I will treadle for 10 minutes. I haven’t had any sign of cramp, which every night was so painful, for the last 7 weeks. Besides no cramp both my ankles are back to normal and not swollen anymore." Margaret, Rangiora Canterbury I’ve been using it my Aircycle for two months or so. I’ve had arthritis in a couple of fingers on each hand, also both wrists and shoulders. Since using I’ve no more pain in my shoulders (better sleep) and my wrists have improved no end – as have also my fingers. My Granddaughter NZ GREYPOWER MAGAZINE » MARCH <strong>2017</strong> 31 calls it "Poppa's Pumping thing" because I put it on my knee and pump it." Maurice, Hamilton "The Aircycle is even better than the information says. My knees have gone and I’ve been using a walker but now I don’t need it around the house. I can move more freely and have much less pain in both my hands and feet. My feet are warmer too and now I don’t need bed socks which I’ve worn for years. I went to." Gay Rumbles, Rotorua Registered with medsafe, Aircycle’s been shown by hospitals, rest homes, diabetes clinics, podiatrists and physiotherapists to be helpful for circulatory and joint problems in hands, shoulders, feet and legs and it helps strengthen muscles for improved balance and mobility.
