In Car Back Support: Travel Posture

For many drivers and car passengers obtaining a comfortable seating position is often a challenge. Frequently the driver or passenger’s hips lie at a lower level than their knees and the lumbar region of the back is not supported adequately, resulting in aches and pains in the lower and mid back. Poor in car posture can be improved with the help of a number of posture aids, all available from Support 4 Physio.

Gaining a beneficial sitting angle between the hip and knee can be obtained by using a slimline seat wedge, a product that provides gentle support where height is limited.

It is a shallow wedge shaped to subtly improve the curvature of the spine with a fixing strap ensuring that it remains in place at all times, bringing pain relief to sufferers of invertebral disc lesions, arthrosis and degenerative joint disease.

In car lumbar support can be improved using anatomically shaped in car lumbar back supports. Support4Physio supplies two such products, one made from standard moulded foam providing firm support, the other containing memory foam, changing shape to fit the body….as if made especially for the individual.

Both products promote perfect spine alignment and help to relieve pressure and pain on a long drive. Correct lumbar posture on a long journey not only helps to relieve pressure and pain on the base of the spine during travel but is an excellent preventative measure for those who have a vulnerable back and are prone to back pain.

All Seat Wedges and Lumbar Back Supports purchased from Support 4 Physio come with a removable, washable,  high quality velour covering for frequent practical use.
