ANTIKYPHOSIS PILLOW
A pillow that allows extraordinary stretching of the back, especially its thoracic (chest) part, which is always the most susceptible to bending, which causes thoracic kyphosis.
Thoracic kyphosis is a "hump" in the thoracic part of the back, which leads to overstretching of the back muscles in that part, but also to disruption of statics in other parts of the spine. In addition, there is a shortening of the chest muscle from the front, which causes problems with breathing and disrupts the normal work of the heart.
Below, read more about this topic and how our Antikyphosis pillow can help you...
AREAS OF APPLICATION
PHYSICAL THERAPY, FITNESS, PILATES
In each of these "Cushy Design" areas, the Antikyphosis pillow has its wide application, primarily as a prop for correcting kyphotic posture, which today has become a truly concrete health problem that causes numerous problems that are among the five most common reasons for sick leave.
Due to the kyphotic (hunched over in the central - thoracic part of the spine) posture, breathing problems often occur, such as shallow and insufficient breathing caused by spasm of the back muscles that are constantly overstretched (due to slouching), which after a certain time of such posture leads to spasms (spasm ) of the back muscles and shortening of the muscles of the front pectoral part of the trunk.
Due to the shortening of the pectoral muscles in the front part of the thorax, the volume of the chest itself (the space in which the heart and the complete respiratory apparatus are located) is reduced, the space needed by the heart and lungs for smooth operation is reduced. When the heart muscle has to fight with a reduced "living" space, it begins to work irregularly, so we have the so-called cardiac arrhythmias, i.e. periods of accelerated and slowed heart rate.
As far as breathing is concerned, the reduction of the volume of the chest itself leads to difficult and shallow breathing along with difficulties that occur when trying to take a deep breath.
Shallow breathing also has an effect on heart rate.
And finally, but certainly not least - due to the kyphotic position and muscle spasm in the thoracic part of the back, frequent and severe pains occur in that area. This spasm of the muscles in the mentioned part of the back also affects the muscles involved in breathing (shortens them and prevents their flexibility), but it also leads to the appearance of a stabbing pain from the back to the chest, so that pain seems like a stabbing in the heart muscle.
With this text, we wanted to convey to you what the most common slouched posture can cause over the years.
Why not have a prop at home that would help you "stretch out" at any time and free your chest and back from spasms and pain, and allow the heart and respiratory system to work normally without discomfort.
Daily correct use of this "pillow" for fifteen to twenty minutes can really change your life in terms of reborn breathing and heart function, which will contribute to a higher quality of your life, better sleep and daily functioning.
AREAS OF APPLICATION:
In addition to "home use", this pillow can be used in various forms of training (especially if you like and do Pilates, but also in many other trainings) te is suitable for fitness centers, physical therapy clinics...
This pillow is an excellent prop in training, especially in the segment of balance training, core strength and stretching.
We make the antikyphosis pillow in dozens of color shades, so we can match it with any interior design - both business and private spaces.
ADVANTAGES "Cushy Design" ANTIKYPHOSIS PILLOW:
The specificity of this Antikyphosis pillow lies in its dimensions and the exact density of the sponge that forms the base of the pillow.
The dimensions of the pillow are 50 x 50 x 15 cm, which makes the pillow comfortable to stretch on, because it stretches over the entire back and does not create unpleasant and unwanted pressure on just one small part of the back.
So, the dimensions are ideal for every back, and the firmness is such that it is both comfortable and strong support, and does not sag under weight and always returns to its original position.
MAINTENANCE:
The pillow is covered with high-quality and resistant eco leather that can be easily maintained - wash it with a sponge or cotton cloth soaked in water with a mild liquid detergent, and it can also be disinfected with a mild disinfectant (never with medical benzine or bleach-based disinfectants).
Our Antikyphosis pillow is robust but easy to move.
It would be good to wipe it after each use, dry it with a dry cloth and leave it in the air for another ten minutes, then wrap it in a plastic bag or foil.
