Medical tips using fabric cushions

For a long time, sitting with a fabric cushion can help reduce pressure on the lower back. The cushion supports the natural curve of the lumbar spine, helping to evenly distribute the load on the muscles and alleviate fatigue. It also helps prevent and relieve lower back discomfort, promoting better spinal stability. Therefore, placing the fabric cushion at the waist is essential for it to be effective.

From a side view, the human spine has an S-shaped curve—curving backward in the thoracic region and forward in the cervical and lumbar areas. Because of this natural structure, the lower back and upper back aren’t aligned straight. Sitting for extended periods without proper support can cause strain. A fabric cushion placed at the waist helps maintain the correct spinal alignment, reducing pressure and preventing discomfort. This makes it a valuable tool for maintaining spinal health and comfort during long hours of sitting.

The thickness of the fabric cushion should be just right—not too thick or too thin, not too soft or too hard. If it's too thick, it may over-bend the lower back, while something too hard might feel uncomfortable. After selecting a cushion, sit on it for about ten minutes. If you still feel comfortable, it’s likely the right thickness. However, if your back feels tired or painful, the cushion may not be suitable. For people with existing conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis, comfort and support are even more important.

In addition to using a fabric cushion, there are other small but important habits that office workers should adopt to protect their lower back. No matter what job you do, after sitting for 45 minutes, it’s a good idea to stand up and stretch. This helps your eyes, wrists, neck, and lower back. Avoid staying in the same position for too long—changing posture regularly can ease back strain. When sitting, keep your body relaxed, and if you lean against the chair, make sure your lower back is straight. On a sofa, try to sit back so your hips are fully supported, and your back is close to the backrest. If you feel your back is getting overwhelmed, don’t push through—take a short break. Even a few minutes of rest can significantly reduce tension in your lower back and psoas muscles.
