During the first 6 weeks of KKT active healing, long hours of traveling should be avoided. If you should be traveling first class or in your own private plane, lay down from time to time, as well as walk around periodically. If traveling in economy ensure that your head is maintained in a neutral position.
Here are some helpful travel tips:

- Fit duty free items into you pull-a-long

Remember…
Travel can be hard on our systems, especially across time-zone, or for longer than 3 hours in a vehicle. Be sure to inquire about the KKT Center location closest to you destination.
Remember: It is a good idea to plan ahead and include a visit to your KKT Center 2-3 days prior to your trip. It is also a very good idea to get into your KKT Center as soon as possible after returning back.
