Seats & Cushions

Correct seats and cushions can prevent and relieve back pain in situations where you have to sit for prolonged periods. Having correct sitting posture is important in the treatment of low back pain such as degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, sciatica and spinal stenosis. In all of these painful back conditions it is important to maintain the natural forward curve of the lower back, which is known as the lumbar lordosis.

A McKenzie lumbar roll or lumbar roll can provide ergonomic support to the lower back and ensure that the lumbar lordosis is maintained during sitting. High back supports and wide back sitting supports can also provide lumbar support which ensures that posture of the whole spine is improved during sitting in either an office or car seat. In cases of coccyx pain a coccyx cushion can provide pain relief when sitting in situations where you have to sit to drive or work at a computer.
