A cushion therapy device including a body, wherein the body has a channel formed therein. The cushion therapy device has a lower member and an upper member, each connected with the body. The cushion therapy device can have additional attachments and sensors for therapeutic relief.

In a preferred form the invention there is a lateral support forming part of a seat of a wheelchair, comprising a bracket (1), a hinge body (2), a forward plate (3) having padding and a lever (17). The lever (17) is arranged so it can be turned by hand to move a bolt (18) into a pin (5) whereby the hinge body is prevented from swinging about the pin. The lever (17) is also arranged so it can be subsequently turned by hand to cause a cam face (21) of the lever to ride along a complimentary engaging surface (22) of the hinge body. This forces the bolt (18) from the pin (5) thereby freeing the hinge body (2) to swing about the pin (5) and, as a consequence, to swing the plate (3) to facilitate access to the seat.

A cushioning posterior fulcrum back shaper is an apparatus that supports and guides the back and neck of a user. The apparatus encourages the proper form throughout stretches and exercises, positioning each engaged body parts. The apparatus includes a back shaper that supports the arch of the back, and a neck shaper which supports the spine of the user, and consequently the neck. The first grooved channel positions and guides the spine. The back shaper includes a semicircular prismatic body, a sacrum-supporting depression, and a pelvis-supporting depression. The neck shaper includes an elongated body, a first interlocking arm, and a second interlocking arm. The semicircular prismatic body supports the arch of the back. The sacrum-supporting depression and the pelvis-supporting depression position the sacrum and the sacrum and head, respectively. The elongated body is rotatably mounted to the semicircular prismatic body with the first interlocking arm and the second interlocking arm.

A method is provided for enhancing comfort of a seat with a hip/thigh support and a back support. The method includes providing a seating pad assembly with a foam cushion made at least partly of a viscoelastic foam and having a cover formed from a dimensionally stable non-stretch material. An upper area of the seating pad assembly is attached to an upper area of the seat back. Pelvic and upper back areas of a person sitting on the seat deform the viscoelastic foam sufficiently to provide a comfortable support and to define anchors for the seating pad assembly. The non-stretch cover extends between those anchors for effectively supporting and cradling the lumbar back area of the person in the seat above and forward of the corner between the seat back and the hip/thigh support.

A multipurpose cushion system that meets multiple needs by providing at least two distinct cushion designs: a convex shaped cushion that acts as a closed seat type cushion and a concave cushion designed as a hippocrepiform-shaped neck cushion. The convex outer cushion casing has a circular or regular polygonal shape that includes a flat front face and a flat back face and a side wall extending between a perimeter edge of the flat front face and a perimeter edge of the flat back face, the outer cushion has a closeable opening removed from both the perimeter edge of the flat front face and the perimeter edge of the flat back face. The two cushions are nested to provide a synergistic effect in which the concave cushion acts as fill for a closed convex seat type cushion and the outer convex cushion casing acts as a cover for a concave (hippocrepiform shaped) neck cushion. The hippocrepiform neck cushion shape and dimensions facilitate function as cushion for a seat cushion while also optimizing neck support.

Certain aspects of present disclosure relate to single-side and dual-side backpain relieve sitting devices. In certain embodiment, single-side backpain relieve sitting device includes a rectangular baseplate, a backpain relieve cushion support mounted on the rectangular baseplate, a backpain relieve cushion formed on a top end of backpain relieve cushion support. A dual side backpain relieve sitting device is constructed placing one single-side backpain relieve sitting device on one side of the rectangular baseplate, and another symmetric single-side backpain relieve sitting device on other side of the rectangular baseplate. The backpain relieve sitting device is removably and vertically mounted on a chair. The backpain relieve cushions is used to press two corresponding posterior superior iliac spines and to prevent counterclockwise rotary posterior pelvic tilt more than 90 degrees to a neutral and intuitive Lumbar lordotic angle while in a sitting position without compression over the spinous processes of the sacrum.

A pillow is described. The pillow includes an elongate outer fabric cover at least partially forming a closed elongate tube with the outer cover. The pillow also includes at least one aperture in the closed elongate tube, the at least one aperture having a selective closure associated therewith. Further, the pillow includes at least one baffle formed within the elongate tube. The at least one baffle is formed of fabric and is coupled to the outer cover at at least three points around the interior of the elongate tube. Further still, the pillow includes a filling material disposed within the elongate tube, the filing material comprises individual pieces of filling material. The filling material is configured with a size that it may bypass the baffle, but not generally freely. The elongate outer fabric and the filling material are configured to be bendable to any of a variety of shapes.

An improved positioning device (the DEVICE) comprises a new and unique concave angulated device for at least one of, but not limited to, stretching, supporting, bracing, rehabilitating, positioning, massaging, kneading, scratching, or exercising a body of a user. The DEVICE's new concave angulated and more user friendly surface addresses the need for a more anatomically responsive body positioning DEVICE for achieving improved results relative to, among other things, the above uses. This DEVICE includes multiple embodiments, which also may comprise various possible configurations, that enable the DEVICE to also function as a fulcrum or lever and/or be capable of uniquely dispersing a load during the interaction between the user and the DEVICE.

A massage cushion structure hung on a seat back, includes a back cloth sleeve and a bladder provided in the back cloth sleeve. The back cloth sleeve includes an upper portion, a middle portion, and a lower portion which are sequentially connected to each other in a smooth transition. The middle portion has a trapezoid structure narrow at its upper end and wide at its lower end. The bladder is in a gourd shape and includes an upper bladder and a lower bladder which are in communication with each other. A connecting area between the upper bladder and the lower bladder is configured to constrict inward. The bladder is located in the middle portion of the back cloth sleeve and supports the middle portion of the back cloth sleeve to bulge.

A therapeutic travel and spa pillow that can be used during travel for therapeutic purposes. In further detail, the therapeutic travel and spa pillow can be worn when riding in a transport vehicle such as, but not limited to, a train, bus, car, or plane in order to receive therapeutic benefits. The therapeutic travel and spa pillow includes a pillow body, a left strap, and a right strap . The pillow body is a cushioned support for the head and shoulders of the user. The left strap and the right strap allow the user to secure the therapeutic travel and spa pillow underneath his or her chin. This prevents the therapeutic travel and spa pillow from falling of the shoulders of the user. The left strap and the right strap are preferably cord-like strips of material.
