Pillows
To ensure that the patient feels comfortable on the couch, positioning pillows are an optimal support during the treatment. Positioning cushions enable the patient to adopt a more relaxed lying position during treatment and help to prevent secondary damage such as pressure ulcers, joint stiffness or thromboses during longer sessions in a lying position. No matter what treatment goal you are pursuing as a therapist, positioning pillows can make everyday therapy easier and provide you and your patient with the best possible support during treatment. They are specially shaped pillows, rolls or otherwise formed cushions that allow the therapist to treat the patient comfortably and the patient to be in a comfortable position while lying down.
Here we explain what types of positioning pillows there are, when you can use them and why they are particularly suitable for everyday therapy.
Types of positioning pillows
Pillows come in many shapes, including positioning rolls, half rolls, positioning cubes and more. Depending on the area of application and therapy, you can use the differently shaped positioning pads. A carefully selected positioning pillow can be crucial to enable a successful therapy or rehabilitation while avoiding injury or pain.
In our shop you will find:
Positioning roll
Positioning rolls are often used to relieve or ideally position parts of the body such as the knees and neck.
Half roll
Half rolls are particularly suitable for supportive positioning of knee joints or the heel, for stabilising the legs and are suitable for positioning the head, neck and torso. Half rolls have a flat underside to prevent the roll from slipping during treatment.
