Airport micro-moves to prevent pain amplification
Airports are long static holds disguised as “just waiting.” Micro-moves are your anti-flare tax.
The short answer
Do tiny movements often. 30–90 seconds resets keep circulation up, reduce stiffness, and calm amplification. Think “loops,” not yoga class.
