Sacro Wedgy Spine Lumbar Support
|
Sacro Wedgy Spine Lumbar Support (instructional booklet and elevation pad included) is in use almost 15 years, The lumbar support
wedge has helped thousands get relief from a variety of symptoms such as sciatica, low back pain, hip pain, knee pain and more.
Relaxing on a regular basis helps the muscles slowly rebalance using gravity to do most of the work. This spine wedge is not a quick
fix-nothing is; however, addressing and helping to correct bad posture and "out of balance" muscle structure helps treat the origin
of the problem rather than treat the symptom. The sacral wedgy is available in a male or female version.
Features
- With the sacrum in a neutral, elevated position, the hips are now slightly suspended and free to relax.
- It helps to get relief from a variety of symptoms such as sciatica, low back pain, hip pain, knee pain and more.
- The sacral wedgy is available in a male or female version.
The beginning stages may, for some, be awkward. Just finding the "sacrum" may be daunting. It is below the waist, shaped like a triangle with a curve at the very end sometimes called the "tailbone". Lying on the sacro wedgy is like lying on top of another sacrum. There is a curve or "cradle" in the lumbar support wedgy similar to the curve of the sacrum.
When first learning how to obtain proper placement, we suggest you keep knees bent with feet on the floor and with the hands move the sacro wedgy up towards the waist and down to the feet ½ inch at a time until you feel the "cradle".
Your back will be slightly arched. Because absolutely everyone is different, some will feel discomfort, some will not. The only time there will not be a "fit" is when a woman has a longer and narrower torso and requires the male version of the sacro back wedgy. The feeling will be of sitting on top of the hipbones as opposed to going between.
How To Use Sacro Wedgy
The concept, when creating the sacro wedgy, was based on a widely used osteopathic technique of placing the hand under the
sacrum and elevating that bone. The hips were then free to relax on either side of the hand. Well, the sacro seat wedge does
basically the same thing. The sacrum is held in a neutral position giving hips the freedom to drop, relax and release. Gravity does
the work and when combined with a firm neck support creates what some therapists refer to as a "natural" traction. This is when
"relaxing" or doing absolutely nothing is so important.
Below Left: Place index finger in the hollow part of the narrow end of the sacral wedgy. The narrow knob should be placed below the
coccyx (tailbone).
Below Right: Keep your knees bent. Position the sacro lumbar support so that your coccyx (tailbone) feels like it is in the dip or cradle. Your
lower back should feel slightly arched. After placing the lumbar wedgy in the correct position straighten your legs out and
relax!
Above: This position is the most commonly used and most relaxing to allow gravity to do the most for your muscle balance. Keep in
mind, not everyone can do this especially in the beginning stages of realignment. If you have specific conditions like spinal stenosis
you would be able to relax better with a pillow under your knees.
Above Left: This position is used to help relax muscles in the groin area. Place the bottom of your feet together and let your knees
drop off to the side. Let gravity take over. Remember to relax!
Above Right: If the Psoas muscle is weaker in one side (or longer) this isometric will help strengthen the weak side. Make a sacro
brace with your hand against your leg (as shown in picture). Pull back against your hand with your leg for about 5 seconds. Make
sure you exhale while doing this due to exertion.

Nect Support For Use With Sacro Wedgy

Nect Support For Use With Sacro Wedgy - Since neck support is so important, we found it necessary to design a cervical roll that complimented the spine wedgy. We made it convenient for travel, 10" long, high enough to support the average neck curve, 4" in diameter using a very dense foam and with a blue, poly/cotton zipper cover to complete the system of stabilizing and slightly elevating both ends of the spine. The only thing left to do is the most nothing" you can do -RELAX and really let gravity to the work.
