The Airogym exerciser is a low cost, pocket sized, inflatable exercise cushion. Invented by an ex British Airways senior long haul captain, it was originally designed to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on plane journeys of 4+ hours, as well as e-thrombosis in the desk-bound and swollen ankles. It now has a wide ranging application for many differing markets and has been clinically proven to increase blood flow by up to 5 times. Airogym has been endorsed by John Scurr, a world leading consultant surgeon.

Benefits of the exerciser include; being small, easy to carry around and very simple to use while seated with no discomfort. DVT and lack of exercise is an ever increasing problem and one that is constantly in the public eye.

Airogym may benefit:

  • those travelling for 4+ hours
  • Deskbound
  • the elderly and those who are immobile
  • those with swollen ankles especially during pregnancy
  • diabetics who invariably have poor leg circulation
  • patients receiving physiotherapy or those with muscle and joint pains.

Summer Legs

But come shorter hemlines and days when even 10 deniers... read more

Common Foot Complaints

Tomato Beauty

In the 16th Century, tomatoes were given the name ‘love apples’. The story goes that the Spanish conquistadors, returning home from Peru, brought with them a new and delicious plant from which could be harvested the most luscious, juicy, vibrantly coloured fruit. Some Europeans thought it poisonous. (It is, after all, a member of the... read more

Free Your Breath

Through all the years I’ve been trying to stay healthy by eating well, exercising, taking vitamins, attempting to meditate, it’s only now I really understand that breathing properly is the simplest trick most of us miss in the equation. We can be forgiven of course, as it’s something we all do automatically - approximately 12-18 times a minute of every day. We don’t have to give it a second... read more

Gill meets Margaret Dabbs

What was the inspiration that drove you to launch Margaret Dabbs, London?
