Traveling by bus, train, airplane
We don't just sit at home, at work, or in our car, but also when traveling on public transportation, where the seating position is not solely up to us. What can we do to protect our spine during this time?
Seat Height
The goal is always to position our spine in a way that preserves its physiological curves. So the pelvis tilts slightly forward, maintaining the lumbar lordosis, and the neck remains an extension of the spine, not leaning forward beyond that.
About the Lumbar Support
It is worth adjusting our posture from below. We can ensure the maintenance of the lumbar lordosis by filling the hollow at our lower back with a cushion. For this, the Benergo lumbar support is a perfect solution. Traveling by airplane is much more comfortable nowadays; we usually travel in cleaner, quieter, and more orderly environments, but the seating is still not perfect. Since we have different body sizes, it would be difficult to solve this universally. Therefore, we can "customize" our seat with our own cushion.
If we place this cushion at our lower back, we cannot slouch forward, and we can rest our head against the backrest without strain. This reduces the pressure on the intervertebral discs and protects our spine. Due to its relatively small size and weight, the lumbar support can fit in our bag and can be taken out anytime, anywhere. This small support makes a big difference for our spine because the optimal spinal load capacity is achieved with proper posture. If we sit in a spine-damaging posture for hours or even twice a day for half an hour, we will soon feel the consequences.
The Benergo lumbar support primarily helps maintain the lumbar lordosis but also moves the entire posture in a good direction. We can use it with almost any seat with a backrest or chair.
