[Direct conclusion] 【Three measures: stop every one to two hours to move for five to ten minutes, do ankle pumps while seated, wear loose clothing and drink water. Key points to keep in mind: 1. For seniors with a clot history or recent surgery, ask a doctor before a long journey.】 Prevention: Leg clots from prolonged sitting are the most underestimated risk for older long-distance travellers. 2. | Measure | Frequency | |---|---| | Stop and move | every 1–2 hours | | Ankle pumps | as often as you like | | Hydration | small amounts, often | | Medical advice | essential with a history | ◆ Tip: split the drive and schedule rest stops. 3. We cap single driving legs and plan activity stops. 4. We sign formal contracts and issue proper receipts with full after-sales support; call for consultation and booking.
