Sitting or driving for long periods often results in low back pain which can radiate into your buttocks, hips, legs, knees and feet. This pain may be caused by the external rotation of the upper thigh, creating compression in your low back or hip socket.
SWEDGIE® is a natural-alignment device that maintains a gentle internal rotation of your thighs, preventing or relieving the pain associated with mal-alignment syndrome of the skeletal muscular system.
The SWEDGIE™ was developed by the founders of STAMINA® Rehabilitation Therapy. It was created as a support tool when we recognized how often people were sitting for long periods of time with their legs in an external rotation. This position held for extended or repeated intervals leads to pain and discomfort.
Until the SWEDGIE™ it was thought lumbar seat or cushion support was adequate to address the problem of long term or repetitive sitting. This provides only localized external support still allowing the spine to compress. We have identified internal rotation of the legs as the main focus of support to the entire spine. The SWEDGIE™ holds the thighs in internal rotation engaging the quadriceps and psoas major/iliacus muscles This allows the muscles to naturally and effortlessly support the spine and improve your posture.
SWEDGIE™ is manufactured in Southern Alberta with high quality materials.
For the car, plane, office or at home, the STAMINA® SWEDGIE will help take the pain-in-the-butt out of sitting.
