Why Use the ROPHI Posture Cushion for Lower Back Pain?

The lower discs carry more weight due to gravity and pressure and therefore lose more fluid than the ones higher up.

The lumbar region is therefore more at risk to injury than upper areas causing lower back pain.

At night we lie down and take the weight of our spine, the disca are able to recover

So .... What is the correct Position for Lying down?

Lets look at the months leading to the birth of a child.

In just 32 weeks the spine will grow 20 times. To protect it from being deformed the foetal position is maintained throughout.

Even after birth, the baby will chose to return to this postion as the spine continues to grow a further 5 times.

The ankles are crossed in line with the pelvis, the arms crossed in front of us.

Therefore... It makes sense for us to lie in a foetal (or because of our bulk) semi-foetal position with our legs bent and our arms crossed in front of us.

To align our spine and pelvis correctly, it is recommended that we place a cushion between our knees.

However, normal cushions compact, cause perspiration and move about.

So....... The 'ROPHI' cushion was invented

• The cushion material inhibits moisture - so no perspiration
• The attached medical stocking holds the cushion in place (no slipping or falling out of position)
• The cushion corrects the pelvis and spine alignment
• The cushion is so light you hardly know you are wearing it
• The cushion can be washed at 40 degrees and can be spin-dried
• Guaranteed for 3 months

Wear it and Sleep in Comfort

Lie on your side with the cushion fitted to the inside of your knee. This aligns your pelvis and spine, taking the pressure of your back. The back muscles relax allowing you to get a good nights sleep. The cushion reduces soreness and perspiration between the knees. The stocking holds the cushion in place.

The ROPHI cushion is manufactured under licence in the U.K to ISO 9002
