Medical seat cushion
A traditional seat cushion merely makes a hard
seating surface more comfortable, but a therapeutic seat cushion also benefits our spine.
What makes a seat cushion a therapeutic seat cushion?
The therapeutic seat cushion is a seat cushion that is not only a comfortable or attractive element of our home, but also helps prevent damage to our spine caused by regular and prolonged sitting. It is very important that those who belong to the at-risk group or who already suffer from degenerative spinal problems should regularly use the therapeutic seat cushion that is most suitable for them.
Who belongs to the at-risk target group in terms of using a therapeutic seat cushion?
The most at risk are:
- office workers who spend most of their working hours sitting at a desk,
- those who perform work involving frequent bending - typically agricultural work,
- drivers, taxi drivers, or anyone else who professionally drives a car,
- people who regularly carry heavy loads during their work,
- those who have a family history of spinal disease.
For them, it is recommended to use some kind of therapeutic seat cushion even before any potential complaints appear.
What type of therapeutic seat cushion is recommended for which situation?
The use of therapeutic seat cushions is recommended in any sitting position where there is a risk of slouching.
Three typical sitting positions can be distinguished, for which Benergo has developed three types of therapeutic seat cushions:
Neck pillow
In every situation where we sit on a traditional chair, the use of the Benergo wedge cushion is recommended.
Typical examples:
- office (swivel) chair,
- dining chair,
- home desk chair.
The wedge cushion is a therapeutic seat cushion that forces its user to tilt the sitting surface,
so that - to avoid falling forward - he straightens up.
Lumbar support
For traveling by car, a Benergo car lumbar support is the most practical therapeutic seat cushion because when attached to the backrest, it fits precisely to the natural curve of our lower back, thus ensuring the spine remains in a non-slouched position even when reclining. It is recommended not only for the driver but also for the other passengers on longer trips.
This cushion can also be used in an office chair, placed behind our back, to complement the wedge cushion.
Cylinder head gasket
In any seating furniture where the seat surface is longer than our thigh,
Among Benergo's therapeutic seat cushions, the recommended one is the cylindrical cushion filled with natural spelt husks.
Typical areas of application:
- office "executive" chair,
- seating set,
- sofa,
- armchair.
Medical seat cushion in Benergo quality
Every Benergo seat cushion is a medical aid. This means that they do not heal on their own, but their use provides significant assistance:
- in the healing process, and/or
- in the prevention of the given health problem.
Benergo considers it a great challenge that the quality of every medical aid seat cushion it develops represents the highest possible standard. What does this mean in practice?
- Choosing the right material is very important. It can be said for every Benergo medical aid seat cushion,
that the proper hardness of their surface fundamentally determines the usefulness of the given seat cushion.
- Choosing the right cover is also fundamentally important, as the outer surface of seat cushions is subjected to heavy wear during regular use, so Benergo seat cushions are covered with extremely durable material.
- During daily use, a seat cushion can easily get dirty, so it is important that it is just as easy to clean. Therefore, the cover of every Benergo medical aid seat cushion is removable and washable.
- Benergo also ensures high-quality stitching so that our seat cushions serve their users flawlessly even years later.
Use of medical seat cushion during and after therapy
Every Benergo seat cushion can also be used for medical purposes as part of clinical or alternative therapy, or as a supplement to it.
It is important to understand that in the treatment of spinal diseases
No single therapy can be truly successful if meanwhile the
In everyday life, we often sit incorrectly and slouched at our workplace and at home, easily ruining the results achieved with fatigue through the adopted therapy.
Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to preventing slouched sitting alongside the chosen treatment, and that is why using a medical seat cushion in everyday life is important.
