Why travel worsens stiffness

Prolonged sitting reduces synovial fluid circulation, similar to the mechanism behind morning stiffness, compounded by cramped seating and limited movement.

On flights

  • Request an aisle seat for easier movement
  • Stand and walk the aisle every hour when safe to do so
  • Simple seated ankle and knee movements during the flight
  • Compression socks if long-haul, which some travellers find helpful for lower-limb comfort

On road trips

Plan stops every 90 minutes to two hours for a short walk and stretch, rather than driving straight through.

Packing considerations

Keeping any daily supplement routine, including joint support capsules, in carry-on luggage avoids disruption to your routine if checked baggage is delayed.
