Reply To: A cushion that strengthens your core (back/pelvis) while sitting on it

[Phil McCheddar]

Hi Lee,

“Sorry to butt in” – was that a deliberate pun?!

Seriously, it is nice to hear from you, and thanks for your comments. Yes, I am very tempted to try the cushion AnnieD recommends. But since it’s not cheap I would like to know a bit more before investing in it. As I said, my office chair has a slight dip in the seat and so I am wondering whether the Sissel Sitfit cushion would merely fill the dip and create a flat platform to sit on. If I understand the way it works, it would only be effective if it forms a convex dome to sit on where you have to constantly use your core muscles to stop yourself sliding off.

Best wishes to you too Lee. I hope you find a completely satisfactory solution to the problem of pain caused by sitting for long periods.
