Physio: Avoid Cross-Legged Sitting on Flights

Sitting cross-legged on a plane isn't the best idea, according to a physiotherapist.

It can mess with your blood flow and might lead to a condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Instead, try keeping your legs up, maybe using a footrest.

It's also good to relax your shoulders and support your back.

To avoid stiff joints, do some simple exercises while you're sitting.

If your joints still hurt, try standing up and shifting your weight to avoid putting too much pressure on your legs.

Remember, staying in one position for too long can make joint pain worse.
