What Is a Thorpe Mill Therapy Wedge?
Therapy wedges are designed to assist with those who struggle to sit or lie unaided. A prone wedge is a comfortable therapeutic device for use when lying stomach-down and is ideal to use when reading or watching TV, or when sitting up in bed or sleeping.
What Type of Pain Can a Physio Wedge Help to Alleviate?
Stress and tension builds up easily in the hips, pelvis and lower back because this part of our body is responsible for carrying a large amount of our body weight throughout the day. An angled wedge is an excellent addition to any stretching routine because it has a natural angle to it, allowing you to stretch out your lower back with minimal effort.
How Should I Use My Wedge?
There are a number of different ways to use a wedge. Laying flat means your spine and hips are safely and comfortably put into a position that stretches you out, encouraging and promoting healthy blood flow and circulation.
