Trip Fit Check for chronic pain and fatigue
Is this trip a Green, Amber or Red fit for your body? The Trip Fit Check helps you assess whether a specific trip fits your current capacity, pain, fatigue, flare risk, accommodation needs, travel-day strain and recovery time.
Is this trip a Green, Amber or Red fit?
A destination can be attractive and still be a poor body-fit. The Trip Fit Check helps you look beyond the appeal of the trip and examine the load of the trip.
Green fit
The trip appears broadly compatible with current capacity, usual planning and reasonable recovery time.
Amber fit
The trip may be possible, but needs redesign, pacing, backup plans and clear recovery protection.
Red fit
The trip appears highly demanding in its current form and may need significant changes or specialist discussion.
The goal is not to label the trip as good or bad. The goal is to understand what the trip is asking from your body.
What the Trip Fit Check assesses
Trip load
The physical, cognitive, sensory, emotional and logistical demand of the trip.
Recovery cost
How much recovery time the trip may require after you return home.
Accommodation fit
Stairs, lifts, bathroom setup, bed comfort, room location, noise, food access and rest space.
Airport and transfer strain
Queues, luggage, seating, connection time, transfers, waiting and distance between steps.
Flare risk
Predictable strain points such as sleep disruption, overactivity, heat, sensory load or long sitting.
Lower-load version
How the trip could be reshaped instead of accepted or cancelled unchanged.
What you receive
With the Trip Fit Check & Starter Kit, you build a planning structure for one real trip: a Trip Snapshot, Trip Load Scan, Green / Amber / Red fit prompts, lower-load redesign prompts, travel-day comfort planning, accommodation questions, flare backup planning, communication scripts, Recovery Runway planning and a printable quick reference.
Why trip load is different from destination appeal
Trip load comes from the journey, transfers, accommodation, schedule, climate, sensory environment, rest access and post-travel recovery demands. The Trip Fit Check assesses the whole trip, not only the destination.
Backup plan
A trip that depends on every day going well is fragile. The Trip Fit Check helps you prepare a backup plan before symptoms force the issue.
How the Starter Kit helps you redesign the trip
Once trip load is clearer, the Starter Kit helps you add rest, change accommodation, reduce travel-day demands, choose quieter activities, plan meals and hydration, create a flare plan, and protect the first day after arrival and the first few days after return.
