Economy Class Syndrome: Prevention & Relief with Chair Yoga

Are you prone to discomfort and health issues after long flights or extended periods of sitting? Learn about economy class syndrome, also known as flight-related thrombosis, and how to mitigate its effects.

Understanding Economy Class Syndrome

Prolonged sitting, especially in cramped spaces like airplane seats or cars, can significantly impact your health. Insufficient hydration and lack of movement contribute to poor circulation and increase the risk of blood clots. These clots, if they break loose, can travel through your bloodstream and potentially lead to a serious pulmonary embolism, blocking blood flow to the lungs.

The risk of economy class syndrome increases with duration. Sitting for more than 6 hours is considered a risk factor, and the risk intensifies with 10+ hours of continuous sitting. This is particularly relevant for those who spend most of their day seated.
