Key benefits of Sit-walker

While sitting for a long time, people forget to stretch legs and do any exercise, leading to the possibility of blood clot formation in legs. SitWalker steps in here and prevents the blood from stagnating in legs – thereby preventing the possibility of clot formation. Periodic movements in the correct manner (as designed by nature) happen automatically, and the user after some time doesn’t even bother about it – gets used to it.

Key benefits of Sit-walker

Blood stagnation in legs is a leading cause of deep vein thrombosis(OVT) episodes.

Stagnating blood tends to clot – most probable sites are the legs. These clots can move along with the flowing blood and reach the heart.

When they are pumped out from the heart, they can get stuck in smaller vessels and cause thrombotic attacs.

Often, fatal results are seen due to clots lodged in critical sites like.

1.Lungs-causing Pulmonary Embolsm (PE) or

2.Coronary-vessels causing cardiac arrest or

3.Brain – Causing brain stroke

How to use the Sit-Walker
