Physical Travel Solutions

Travel culture has evolved to a point where many spend their lives ‘in the air’. Increasingly there is a need for authoritative voices to help guide the health challenges people face while being ‘air warriors’.

I am Yvonne Strydom and I am one of those voices

– Travel Physiotherapist and Travel/Health Lecturer –

Physical Travel Solutions is a package of information addressing the specific concerns of frequent travellers before, during and after travel, which can benefit their physical, emotional and ultimately even mental wellbeing.

Travelling is an intensive experience, taking us out of our usual ways of doing things and requiring us to adapt to a pressurised and constantly changing environment. There are many reasons that we do not feel ‘ourselves’ on the days we travel, but many of these factors are controllable, or at least, understandable.

Beyond the day of travel itself, there are consequences of the travel week affecting our physiology, hydration, mucous membranes, skin, respiratory system, circulatory & cardiovascular systems, digestive tract, bowel function, musculoskeletal system, endocrine system and even our immune system.

Physical Travel Solutions helps frequent travellers adapt to these factors, and spend our time away feeling the best version of ourselves.
