Coccyx Relief and FlowCushion
for the Wheelchair Bound

Where good comfort is concerned, it is important for the body to be active. When the body is active, the circulatory system is in good working order, and blood flows through the body. As this happens, the body remains healthy, skin is healthy, and the ability to experience comfort is high.

Unfortunately, many people who are inactive due to illness, injury or overweight nature often have trouble maintaining optimal circulation. To be bound to a wheelchair may cause stagnant circulation and other problems, including discomfort in the coccyx. 

What is the Coccyx?

The Coccyx, also know as the tailbone, is the lowest segment of the spinal column. The Coccyx is comprised normally of three to five fused vertebrae, known as the coccygeal vertbrae, and is located below the sacrum.

What causes discomfort to the Coccyx?

Prolonged pressure against the coccyx, or "sit bones," can lead to discomfort. When you don't move for some time, the blood flowing to the muscles in the coccyx may cease, and the muscles may become tired and stagnant. You will start to feel sore and want to shift around in your seat for a more comfortable position. Oftentimes, this action comes too little too late, and could lead to muscle cramps.

For your coccyx and backside to support constant relief and relaxation, blood must continue to flow through the area and keep the muscles and skin healthy. For those unable to move around due to wheelchair activity, a seat cushion with alternating air pressure flow may be recommended.

FlowCushion supports comfort for the wheelchair bound.

FlowCushion provides the necessary "lift and shift" motion needed to support the body's ability to be comfort, especially during long periods of inactivity in a wheelchair. As the micro air bladders inflate and deflate in the cushion, it creates a rhythmic alternating pressure flow that can gently promote the body's circulatory system.
